a wheel type commannd interface for KDE, heavily inspired by Kommando.
Project description
installation and setup:
easy_install pyRadKDE
go into KDE systemsettings -> keyboard shortcuts
add a gesture with the action “pyrad.py”
you might have to enable gestures in the settings, too (in the shortcut-window you should find a settings button).
customize the menu by editing the file “~/.pyradrc”
usage:
Just use your gesture to call up the command wheel when you want to call one of your included programs.
plan:
Initialize a window at mouse position (QCursor::pos(); QLayoutItem::setGeometry(Qrect)) -done
Make the window transparent, without background, border and menubar. -done
Show icons in a circle -done
make the icons clickable -done
add folder-icons: the action is simply a list with all contained items => starts with [ -done
store the previous layout (buttons) directly in the name of the central icon => same list format. -done
register a global shortcut / gesture in KDE from within the program -> usable as soon as it’s installed. -todo
ideas:
use plasma.
Show the program cathegories from the K-Menu.
Get the folders and actions from Nepomuk somehow -> favorites or such.
Option to have an auto-optimizing wheel layout :)

Changelog:
pyRad 0.1.1
moved the Rad class into a seperate file (rad.py) - same performance but cleaner.
added a version header to the .pyradrc file, so it will be possible to update it transparently when changes should be necessary.
pyRad 0.1
Initial version.
