Controlling transparency with keyboard hotkeys

[PixelSymbols]

I'm on a laptop, i use touchpad, and i saw here multiple issues where people said that touchpad is not supported yet. So, as an alternative, i want to control transparency with keyboard only. Is there a way to do it now, or will it be added as a feature later? Thanks

For now the Transparency action is only supported via the wheel action,
so touch pad might be unreliable.

There is no keyboard shortcut available either.
You would need 4 extra actions transparency Up/down with large and small steps.

I will see if I can do this

Also would be nice

also, as an additional idea, if/while you're gonna work on the initial feature, you can also make so user will be able to set custom transparency value (and not just only up/down) via actions/keyboard shortcuts.

Would a "Toggle Transparency" action with a custom value be what you are looking for?

i'm thinking more of:

// keyboard lowering and raising, with reseting
transparency_toggle = hotkey0 // toggle on/off without changing the state of transparency, so we can revert back
transparency_up = hotkey1
transparency_down = hotkey2
transparency_reset = hotkey3 // reset transparency state value back to 100 (non transparent)
transparency_precise_modifier = hotkey3 // like the one you need to hold to do less steps, aka hotkey3 + other hotkey

// or instead of incrementing, just set the value on a key press
// instead of raising/lowering value incrementally, set it to predefined value by a predefined hotkey. As ini don't support objects, and doing something like `transparency_50` for every possible value would be crazy, i guess a nice workaround would be to have 2 arrays, one for actual values, and one for hotkeys (where index of value correspond index of a hotkey)
transparency_custom_values = [5,50,69]
transparency_custom_keys = [hotkey5,hotkey6,hotkey7]
