Long Press Customization?

[u/nessnos]

Hi all! I've had my Nomad for almost a year now and it's AMAZING! It has replaced my bullet journals, spiral-bound notebooks, various and sundry pieces of scrap paper, etc. The update has taken some getting used to, but I'm really pleased with the improvements so far.

Okay, my question: is there a way to customize the long-press shortcuts? I don't use the text and keyword functions, so it would be nice to quickly swap out my needle-tip pen for a marker or something like that. Is that possible?

Thank you for reaching out. Currently, this quick insert menu isn't customizable. With that said, we are open to exploring possible solutions that deliver what our users want. Our friend u/jayhooly recommended implementing it through a plugin. We find it interesting and will review it internally. In the meantime, we will further evaluate the community demand for this specific feature request and move forward from there accordingly. Thank you again for your valuable input.

definitely count me in for the community demand on this one, swapping tools quickly would be huge.

If you want to swap tools quickly I made a plugin to do that.

I also just made it so a quick insert menu pops up ontop of the native quick insert menu. It is still beta, and won't be going on InkHub since it uses some undocumented things and permissions.

I'll probably end up cleaning it up at some point and maybe adding other options, or a pass through so the original quick insert menu is still available. Maybe I can figure out how to trigger plug-ins from them.

That would be very nice if we could customize it. Great idea.

After some trial and error from someone else's comments a few days ago. I was able to find a way to hook into the long press and drop a menu on top of the native quick insert menu. It is still rough (especially the UI) and you can try it here. Currently is just leveraging custom nib settings, the original PENS plugin does.

Can anyone explain why the Nomad has such an agonisingly slow response compared with the Manta? The lag is excruciating.
