Quicksilver VS Gnome-Pie

Pretty sure it was Nicholas Jitkoff[1] and his team. He had done Quicksilver[2] a few years back which popularized this single input interface for osx desktop.

There are these open source alternatives, I haven’t checked their privacy policies or their code Maybe try and report back? https://www.cerebroapp.com https://qsapp.com https://ueli.app https://github.com/ParthJadhav/Verve

I've used Quicksilver for clipboard history historically. There is a currently a bug that I've been meaning to delve into: https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/2913 but still generally usable. Particularly handy combined with adding simple AppleScript or JXA actions to manipulate the content (I have several simple ones for example to run a regex, to clean extraneous content around a number, a phone number, strip whitespace, indent 4 spaces for pasting into a markdown codeblock on SO, etc etc).

The Shelf plug-in also very handy along similar lines.

Should add Quicksilver. It's the first app I install on my Macs

Spotlight-esque apps for enhanced keyboard driven productivity (pick one): Raycast Alfred Quicksilver

Quicksilver

For a browsable clipboard history on macOS, I recommend LaunchBar (https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/; docs at https://www.obdev.at/resources/launchbar/help/ClipboardHisto...). I used to use the Clipboard Plugin of the free and open source app Quicksilver (https://qsapp.com/), which worked fine but was slightly less streamlined. Some people prefer Alfred (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/).

This is great. Reminds me of QuickSilver[1]. I'm evaluating HomeRow[2] for a VIM driving the Mac OS, will try this as well.

I love how:

a. accessibility features are making the OS more accessible for everyone through automation

b. good the accessibility implementation is on the Mac that most applications are inherently compatible with solutions like this.

Good to see something like this, don't forget there is already an open source alternative (pre-existing) for Alfred and Raycast. It's called Quicksilver - https://qsapp.com

I still find myself using these and enjoy the 'wei wu wei' flow of them: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d4LkTstvUL4 (skip to 5 or 11 minutes in)

Have you tried Simon Schneegans "Gnome Pie" application launcher that lets you define your own pie menus?

Gnome Pie:

For his thesis, he also designed and implemented the Coral Menu:

And the Trace Menu:

Fly-Pie is his more recent work:

Fly-Pie 8: New default dark theme and support for GNOME 3.36, 3.38, 40, and 41!

Fly-Pie 10: A new Clipboard Menu, proper touch support & much more!

>Fly-Pie is an attractive marking menu for GNOME Shell. Fly-Pie 10 brings improved touch support, a new clipboard menu and a bunch of other new features!

You want confirmation for your command, which I find only natural. It is unfortunate KDE's own mouse gestures are not more developed. There are Easystroke for X11 and Gnomie-Pie from the same dev you mentioned. The latter I never used myself, but someone implied it is cross-DE, ironically.

Anyway, consider https://github.com/Schneegans/Gnome-Pie. Despite the name, it works outside GNOME.

If you're fine with using an external program, I think Gnome Pie can detect and change its menu depending on the currently selected window. Then maybe you could bind its options to Hotkeys in Xournal? There's also the far superior Fly Pie.
