Ulauncher: Show on key release

[sematula]

This isn't a problem so much as it's a question ... is there a way to configure ulauncher to appear when the bound key is _released_? I'd like to keep my use of the super key consistent across OSs, which means SUPER is used to launch applications, while SUPER+ arrow keys moves windows around the desktop.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, it's not possible in the current version.

I gave it a thought, and decided I'm not going to add this feature because it requires a lot of changes.

Currently my goal for Ulauncher is to reduce the amount the new code to the minimum, so I can keep up with bug fixes and support on my own.

@gornostal would you kindly reconsider? Currently yours is the only launcher that is working with my Hyper L key mapped to the useless Caps Lock, however, I'm using Hyper+X for a quick launch/switch to the already launched apps, and Ulauncher breaks it :(
This means that I can't really replicate the simple and very convenient Windows experience of having Caps Lock launch launcher on a single key press and work as a launcher/switcher itself when pressed as part of a key combo
Would really appreciate it!

@eugenesvk reopening the ticket.

Looks like more and more people would like to have this feature

@eugenesvk ... this feature would move forward with a nice PR. Would you consider doing the work?

sorry, @goodwillcoding, but don't know any coding to be able to help :(
