Setting hotkey configuration results in 'Could not register "summon" shortcut' error

[hyphaene]

Hi,

I can't set any hotKey, so the plugin is not effective ..

I precise that I tried several combinations, all complying with the accelerator API from Electron.

No error on the console or whatsoever, only this alert box :

Running on ubuntu 16.04

Cheers

Sorry to hear about your continued issues. I think the core issue is that the plugin may not have ever been tested on an Ubuntu environment. Similar to #23, there is likely method calls that throw errors for Ubuntu.

The error dialog you are seeing is actually from a separate plugin called hyperterm-register-shortcut. So, I'm not sure where the real issue lies at the present.

I, unfortunately, do not have an Ubuntu environment to test the plugins against. If you are willing, you could setup hyperterm-summon to run as a "local" plugin, so that you could modify the source and see the results in your local Hyper.

If not, I'll see if I can figure out a way to test the plugin on Ubuntu.

@hyphaene I published a refactored version of the plugin last night. Hopefully it resolves your issues. Would you be willing to give it another try for me please?

Hi, I'll try at home tonight, and I'll let know !Thanks.

Same on Windows:

@JohannesRudolph is there any other information you can provide (e.g. OS version, plugin version, Hyper config, etc)? The more details you share, the easier it is for me to debug the problem.

Error

Could not register "summon" shortcut (F12)

Config

summon: {
  hideDock: true,
  hideOnBlur: true,
  hotkey: 'F12'
}

[dcalhoun]

@edouard-lopez do keys other than F12 work? Apparently there are OS-specific restrictions for global hotkeys (e.g. Windows).

[edouard-lopez]

@dcalhoun Sorry, I'm not using hyperterm anymore.

F12 gives me the same error (ubuntu 18)
