Feature request: Start a scan on keyboard key press

Feature request: Start a scan on keyboard key press   24 November 2024, 20:16

Good day,

As fan of the Network Scanner tool, I have a feature request.
I would like to have the following function: When I press F1 (bookmark) and type the network I want (we have over 1000 networks) to scan, I want to be able to press the Enter key and start scanning right away.

At the moment, I have to select the chosen network and then have to click the "Start Scanning" button.

Just a request.

Kind regards,
Jim van der Harst

It might be challenging to determine whether, upon pressing Enter, the user intends to modify settings or make adjustments after selecting a bookmark before starting the scan.

As a practical solution, you could configure a hotkey or key combination for initiating the scan directly. This way, after selecting a bookmark, you can simply press the hotkey to start scanning immediately.
