New Feature: Show Toolbars Only When The Mouse Hovered In about satty HOT 15 OPEN

okay.. well I think there is nothing wrong with hiding the toolbars on demand. I would prefer a shortcut for this, like Ctrl-T for "toggle toolbar" or something like this.

I must say that I am a big fan of explicit behaviour (shortcut/button toggles toolbar) and not dynamic behaviour (mouse hover toggles toolbar). Further I think that should be "opt-in" .. not the default behaviour. There might be a setting "hide-toolbar-on-startup" or something similar..

I am happy to accept PRs

thank you for that idea.. could you explain what we try to achieve with this feature?

Ha-ha.
Imagine a scenario where a programmer is writing code while looking at other people's code snippets.
Like this:

We could pin some screenshots on the screen.

okay, so an image viewer-like functionality? isn't that what image viewers like imv are for?

from satty.

While this is true, we can add annotations to the image.

I implemented the basic functionality #45 , but there isn't support for configuration.

Now, it supports configuration 6fb3d68.
However, it doesn't support hovering to show toolbars yet.

What are your thoughts on Krita like toolbar which gets opened using right-mouse-button ?

from satty.

I think most people find this very convenient, but for users who frequently use keyboard shortcuts (such as Window Manager, Vim-like Editor, Emacs), it is not convenient.

from satty.

You're right, Plus it's will increase development time which would be wasteful as this dosen't offer much as keyboard based implementation will still be there plus the hovering toolbar.

I like the way that flameshot took. 'toolbar' is outward of the image.

Buttons reflow if the selection was made near the screen edge.

from satty.

how does it work when you want to edit the fullscreen image, e.g. without crop?

from satty.

It's been ages since I took fullscreen shot. Using flameshot screen asks only about saving file. I don't recall if you could edit fullscreen shot after it had been taken.

the first basic functionality has been released as https://github.com/gabm/Satty/releases/tag/v0.10.0
