Having the "Start button" as Hotkey leads to "Touchpad Three finger tap" working as Hotkey as well

[SIVAH-AKASH]

I have changed my Hotkey to Start (which appears as "Win + LWin" in the Hotkey field). The popup appears perfectly fine when I click Start after that, but the popup also appears when I Three-finger-tap my laptop touchpad as well (which is currently mapped to 'Middle click' in Windows settings).

Currently I don't believe that work. Quite a few effort is needed to implement this.

@taooceros I was able to get the Start button to launch Flow Launcher by disabling the inbuilt Windows Start menu.

But that brings the problem I mentioned in this issue.

[taooceros]

oh I see. what do you mean by triple click? click with three fingers? My touchpad is set to open the start menu by default for triple click. Can that be an issue?

[SIVAH-AKASH]

My bad. I meant tap with three fingers (edited the issue topic).

I have mapped it to middle-click, so I don't think that's the issue.

Sry for the late reply. I think you can map triple tap to flow's key board shortcut that is (e.g. alt space).

@taooceros, wouldn't I need a separate app for that?

I don't think so. I remembered Windows allow you to have this kind of customization (i have set left right swap to be copy and paste). Though i think the option is kindly hidden.

It would be under windows settings, maybe 'Touchpad', where you can set finger gestures and assign them to keyboard shortcuts, I think that's what you mean right @taooceros.

hey @SIVAH-AKASH 3 finger tap = middle click is suuuuper weird implemented by Microsoft and i don't know how easy it is for other software to workaround that properly.

I have captured that behaviour in a commit for myself here: TheBestPessimist/AutoHotKey-Scripts@4874482

Basically, M$ is sending all modifier keys as "down" event before sending middle click, then sending them in reverse as "up" event after the middle click.
It does that every time you 3 finger tap middle click.

Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ask microsoft why did it make it so retarded.
