--- === ControlEscape === --- --- Adapted very loosely from https://github.com/jasonrudolph/ControlEscape.spoon --- Removed timing/delay; always send Escape as well as Control --- --- Make the `control` key more useful: If the `control` key is tapped, treat it --- as the `escape` key. If the `control` key is held down and used in --- combination with another key, then provide the normal `control` key --- behavior. local obj={} obj.__index = obj -- Metadata obj.name = 'ControlEscape' obj.version = '0.1' obj.author = 'Jason Rudolph ' obj.homepage = 'https://github.com/jasonrudolph/ControlEscape.spoon' obj.license = 'MIT - https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT' function obj:init() self.sendEscape = false self.lastModifiers = {} -- Create an eventtap to run each time the modifier keys change (i.e., each -- time a key like control, shift, option, or command is pressed or released) self.controlTap = hs.eventtap.new({hs.eventtap.event.types.flagsChanged}, function(event) local newModifiers = event:getFlags() if not self.lastModifiers['ctrl'] then if newModifiers['ctrl'] then if (newModifiers['shift'] and newModifiers['cmd']) then ; elseif newModifiers['shift'] then hs.eventtap.keyStroke({'shift'}, 'escape', 0) else hs.eventtap.keyStroke(newModifiers, 'escape', 0) end end end self.lastModifiers = newModifiers end ) end --- ControlEscape:start() --- Method --- Start sending `escape` when `control` is pressed and released in isolation function obj:start() self.controlTap:start() end --- ControlEscape:stop() --- Method --- Stop sending `escape` when `control` is pressed and released in isolation function obj:stop() -- Stop monitoring keystrokes self.controlTap:stop() -- Reset state self.sendEscape = false self.lastModifiers = {} end return obj
