(suggestion) Radius Selection Limit

[mauricio-asitp]

Hi! First of all, I would like to say that I have installed Kando two days ago and I'm already loving it. Big big congrats for everyone involved, it's amazing!

I would like to make a suggestion, if that's okay.

It would be cool to have the option of having a "radius selection limit", meaning, if the mouse pointer is outside that radius (measured from the center of the latest menu/category), a click would close the menu, and not select an button. More awesome would be if it could be variable (you can choose the radius size)

Sometimes I notice I start Kando, and I realize I wanted to do something first before using it, and I move the mouse away and click to close (it feels natural to do so), but it starts the action that is selected, even if the mouse on the other side of the screen.

I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this would be good to have, but I thought I should suggest it.

Anyway, thanks a lot for this incredible app.

Thanks for the suggestion! Generally speaking, this is not too great, as it defeats the idea of a pie menu. In a properly implemented pie menu, you can move your pointer as fast and as far as you want into the direction of an item. This is the key to fast interactions in a pie menu. And there are many options to hide a menu (click the center, right mouse button anywhere, escape key).

That being said, we can definitely make this an option which users could enable if they wanted to!

Yes please! I love this app and, for me, I just cannot use it without an option as suggested by the OP, it would be great to have this option, so those who don't require it carry on as they were, and an option for those of us who simply want to click on the icon in the wheel and not anywhere on the screen. Sometimes I get distracted or change my mind to do something else after activating the wheel, and would like that it won't trigger apps by accident. If Selection Wedges aren't visible also, it makes it even easier to click on wheel items I didn't mean to. Would this be possible please? Thanks!
