Keyboard shortcut that opens Wootility (web only?). Probably only gonna happen after wootility and wootomation merge, so you can open any links though a shortcut but whatever. It would be nice, a QoL improvement.
#Wootility shortcut

With the background service it would probably be possible

I don’t think you need a background service for that.

Well the background service is already being worked on so it would probably arrive sooner than any macro support like opening a URL

notice even gateron had to have the browser open already
so its just a glorified text macro

I haven’t tried their board yet but opening programs is possible without a background service right?
desert marsh
yes
royal fractal
My old Razer board could do that iirc.
desert marsh
anything is possible with a background program
since you can basically fully control the pc then
what gateron tried to do is without any software to be able to open it

That isn’t possible?
desert marsh
no
watch their video
it doesnt even press enter
it just types out the url in whatever text input youre in
desert marsh
a keyboard has a browser key
but
it doesnt know when the browser loaded
depending on the browser different shortcuts navigate to the url bar
desert marsh
yes a background program can do this and way more
imo gaterons idea is nice but the solution is kinda ass
royal fractal
Can a background program communicate with Wootility web for example?
Or would you have to use Wootility (not web) for that?
desert marsh
hm prob quite limited
royal fractal
🤔
desert marsh
im not entirely sure how they communicate or how much they can communicate
royal fractal
Interesting, I hope they can communicate enough to make it work.

Why not use the app version? It would still be needed for the background service

It doesn’t matter much but it might be an inconvenience for those that are used to using the web version.
If you want to use background service features and those are only possible to change with the non-web version, why would you use web anymore?
It’s np but would be nicer if they’re both capable of the same things.

im pretty sure our current stuff all works with web adn installed wootiltiy. again just not sure about the limits
shut summit
I'm not sure about limits either but I doubt chrome can communicate with a program on your computer more than app-handled URLs. I guess what I more meant is that to install the background service you probably need Wootility anyway.
The background service itself should be able to open a URL no problem
royal fractal
Wootility non-web supremacy I see.
