OSM - Trigger Events without OSM Prefix

[jsonnabend]

First of all, sorry about posting this here. The "plugin support" forum didn't give me a "new topic" option.

I am playing with Pako's really nice On Screen Menu plugin. I'm trying to trigger events from it without the "OSM" prefix. Is that possible?

TIA

Unfortunately this is not possible without the change made in the code.
I not understand, why you need it?
Can you explain - preferably with an example?

I am hoping to trigger events from the OSM that are identical to events triggered elsewhere, using the OSM to emulate other events. For example, to spoof Keyboard.Numpad5, for example.

I've written a single event handler for the event OSM.* that strips the "OSM" and re-triggers the modified event. For example, I can have the OSM trigger OSM.Keyboard.Numpad5, and my OSM.* handler receives the event and triggers Keyboard.Numpad5.

You can do it through action "Python command":

But I can add an option for setting of event prefix.

That's essentially what I've done, but using a Python script instead (I prefer scripts over one line commands).

Also, you should note that the command you listed won't work -- it adds the "keyboard" prefix to all events. Instead, I've written a Python script that strips the "OSM" event prefix, takes the next event string element as the new prefix, and what's left as the event.

Code: Select all

import sys
print "event=" + eg.EventString
newEvent=eg.EventString.split('.', 2)[-1]
newPrefix=eg.EventString.split('.', 2)[-2]
print "newPrefix=" + newPrefix + " NewEvent=" + newEvent
if newPrefix=="OSM":
    print "newPrefix is OSM.  Not re-triggering event."
    sys.exit(0)
eg.TriggerEvent(newEvent, prefix=newPrefix)

Well, I made some improvements to plugin.
See OSM topic.
I please you to check and possible correction of my poor English in the help string and in Tooltip string!
Thanks, Pako

Thanks for your continuing work on the great OSM plugin. I will check out the new features soon.

I am happy to check the English of the plugin (I take it the Czech is your first language, Python second, and English third ).
