Subject: Re: [Moom Talk] Global keyboard shortcuts

I found a small issue with this. If you assign left-shift as a modifier 
then Moom is treating it as a "global modifier" so it overrides the 
key combination everywhere. For example, I assigned "Left Shift Tab" to be 
"Move to Other Display Left" and lost the ability to do Shift-Tab in my 
normal applications.

Thanks,

Cool, now I can assign global things like  L_CMD+R_CMD+D which I will 
never type normally then assign special key combinations from 
KeyRemap4MacBook - like CapLock-D.

Thanks!

Not at present.

Yes, I agree the help is excellent :). The only thing I would change 
would be having it online also.

I somehow missed the global stuff when I first read it (or maybe it 
wasn't in the initial release), and I missed the modifier stuff when I 
reread it  yesterday :).

Cool. Those two would make it much easier to map keys (there are only so 
many combinations :) and the second would make it easier to script.

Thanks!

You're right, I hadn't realized you could do global ones. I guess when 
the keystroke is created Moom assumes certain key types (modified, 
F-keys) are global?

And on a related note, is it possible with Moom to have it treat the 
left- and right-side modifier keys uniquely like you can with Witch 
(using defaults write ~/Library/Application\ Support/Witch/Settings 
"Require Exact Modifier Key Matches" -bool true)? Note I asked as 
similar question about disabling the fade-in also (like disabling the 
fade-out for Witch).

Thanks!

I have to hit the global trigger key, then the custom action key. I would 
like to hit something like Command-Alt-D instead to put something on the 
right.

I'm not sure I understand the question/comment -- what do you mean two keystrokes to move a window?
