Only in the case where "enter" in an experiment already has a meaning. -- Robert Jordens. ___ ARTIQ mailing list https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/artiq

If experiments and explorer are different docks/windows they have focus at different times. I see. After we do this "experiment dock" change, how important is submitting from the explorer? Can we support submission only from the experiment docks? Sebastien ___ ARTIQ mailing list https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/artiq

Can we support submission only from the > experiment docks? It is a bit inconvenient. In many cases one just fires a calibration or verification experiment without wanting a window to pop up then having to close it again. Is this analogous to submitting using meta-experiments and the problem of getting the arguments? -- Robert Jordens. ___ ARTIQ mailing list https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/artiq

What about using the shortcuts (which can have buttons in addition to the F-key mappings) instead of the explorer when doing this? ___ ARTIQ mailing list https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/artiq

I suspect one would quickly exhaust the number of F-keys on even the largest keyboards or the capacity to remember more than ~5 mappings ;) -- Robert Jordens. ___ ARTIQ mailing list https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/artiq
Re: [ARTIQ] ARTIQ shortcuts
A possibility is keyboard chording. Only using the letters A S D F, certain presses map to certain actions. This was used to great effect in the acme text editor. (keep in mind people also use other keyboards like dvorak.)
