Go to specified panel position action

[exnova]

Hello,

I have a panel that is 3 desktops wide, scrollable.
I'd like to assign Home key to scroll it back to the middle section.
I was looking into Bookmarks, but can't see how one can be launched with an action, only a shortcut.

Did I really discovered something this Launcher can't do? Even with a script?
To be clear, I just want to replicate the "Go to home desktop" action, but for a panel instead of the desktop.

First, to get the terminology straight: I think you're talking about pages, as LL has a concept of multiple desktops which aren't connected to each other.

Second, scripts can do that. Something along the lines of

Code: Select all

getActiveScreen().getContainerById(<your panel container id>).setPosition(0,0)

Thanks!
Although the script doesn't make my panel scroll, I should probably figure it out, now that I know the correct approach.

edit: can't get it to work after all

I only managed to move the panel, not scroll it. Using:

Code: Select all

getActiveScreen().getItemById(<your panel container id>).setPosition(0,0)

Can setPosition be used to scroll as well?
Or do I need to create 3 panels, instead of having one that's 3 pages wide?

Also I had to add "0x" to the start of panel ID, taken from the hierarchy. Just wanted to mention it's not obvious from the documentation.

You need to get the container, not the item. My script above uses the container id. If you want to use the item id, use

Code: Select all

getItemById(...).getContainer().setPosition(...)

Thanks, now it works!
I did need to add getActiveScreen() at the beginning, otherwise I got: "getItemById" is not defined"
so

Code: Select all

getActiveScreen().getItemById(0x<panel item id>).getContainer().setPosition(0,0)

I guess I just incorrectly assumed the Panel's id in the hierarchy is the container id.
