New Skill: desktop window tool and dictation #1343
Comments
This skill has similar functions to https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-desktop-launcher, except will run using xdotool (a necessary requirement) instead of using PyGObject for application launch() for example as this seems to be GTK specific. Correct me if Im wrong.. |
Personally, I'd rather not see a bunch of small skills for individual desktop features. That'll end in a very cluttered marketplace. I think it's fine if there are multiple "desktop suites," like maybe extensions to the desktop launcher for specific distros or WMs/DEs. I'd even be okay if there were several basic desktop skills (I've got one I haven't published, and probably won't =P) But I think things like this would be better as part of a suite. |
@ChanceNCounter , sure, makes sense. I was about to post an issue in mycoft-core about resolving overlapping intent words by context.. Id like to see the mycroft-skills page on GitHub divided into categories like the marketplace is. I agree, clutter is counterproductive. Speaking of, which other desktop skills are there? No need for me to reinvent the wheel. Also, please just create a post (maybe here) for your code, as I said no reason to reinvent the wheel =P. Im fine with merging this with skill-desktop-launcher, but I think in the interim, it can be delineated maybe if I put 'xdotool' in the skill name. Then users will have a general sense of its capability and distro compatibility. |
Also, being able to sort by the number of downloads (maybe using this https://github.blog/2014-08-12-clone-graphs/ but it looks like info only the repo owner can see) or maybe on number of stars the repo has. That would cut down on the clutter tremendously. @ChanceNCounter |
Alright, moving along faster than I can follow the procedure to submit into the marketplace, I now have a skill that can use xdotool on Ubuntus for desktop window manipulation, so far minimze and activate (restore). It also has a rudimentary dictation function through the xdotool Type.
