keypirinha-plugin-kill's Introduction

Keypirinha Plugin Kill

This is a package that extends the fast keystroke launcher keypirinha (http://keypirinha.com/) with a command to kill a running processes.

Usage

Type the trigger "kill" in the launch box and you'll see the item Kill:. After hitting Enter or Tab, you are present with a list of running processes where you can choose a process to kill.

There some alternative actions, if you hit Ctrl+Enter which should be self-explaining.

Installation

With PackageControl

Install Package "Keypirinha-Plugin-Kill"

Manually

Download the Kill.keypirinha-package from the releases.
Copy the file into %APPDATA%\Keypirinha\InstalledPackages (installed mode) or <Keypirinha_Home>\portable\Profile\InstalledPackages (portable mode)

Acknowledgements

Parts of the code are taken from Keypirinha's Packages Repository. Specifically the alttab.py library file to obtain visible windows is taken from here

keypirinha-plugin-kill's Issues

Kill all processes that matches the query

Hi
This is more a feature request than an issue, but could you add a possibility to kill multiple processes at once? For example Chrome has multiple processes and killing them one at a time is a pain.
Killy for Launchy had this feature and I really miss it after migrating to Keypiranha.

Cheers

Exception on Keypirinha start

Hi there,

unfortunately there is an Error thrown when trying to install your new version or restarting Keypirinha with the new version in InstalledPackage folder.

In case of an invalid _default_action

There's a potential bug at line 192 in case self._default_action is not found in self._actions. You probably want to correct that at line 33 in _read_config. For that matter, to call settings.get_enum should be more appropriate in your case.

Can this plugin have an option to ignore the background processes?

same as the title?

Decoding of sub-process output

It occurred to me that you could use the chardet module to auto-detect the encoding of the output you get from your sub-processes. It's not ideal since you first have to record the whole output (which is what you do anyway) instead of being able to parse it on-the-fly, but your plugin would feel way more stable and bullet proof; plus the chardet.detect() function is straightforward.

One recommendation if I may: give the function the whole output, do not try to optimize the speed of the call by limiting the amount of bytes to analyze or your may end up with an incorrect result.

chardet will always be redistributed with KP so you can rely on its presence.

load_icon call

Hi, I've just noticed that you directly call the load_icon function of the keypirinha module instead of calling the keypirinha.Plugin.load_icon method (i.e. self.load_icon), which would be safer.

War and peace

Dear Steffen,

It seems the way you and I exchanged opinions last night on Gitter was misinterpreted by @polyvertex.
He believes I owe you an apology (despite no harm was meant) and because of that ban was set.
Could you be so kind to assure him no harm was done to you so we could resolve this misunderstanding?

P. S. Thank you for this plugin as well, works flawlessly.

How to install?

How is the Kill plugin installed?

The readme says refer to the "release notes" but I can't see any release notes in the repository.

Thanks

Option to (re)start process after killing

My laptop has a lot of scaling issues (yay 4k + windows 10) and I use this plugin to quickly kill explorer.exe when I see it glitching. This works great, but I have to start the process up again myself afterwards. Could we maybe add an option to restart the process instead?

is it possible to "prefer" Foreground Apps but dont hide Background Apps

i'd like to show background apps, but most time i want to kill the foreground. so if its possible to set priority to foreground you dont have to tap the curser down so many times.

would be nice to get implemented

Looks like 'hide_background' doesn't work as it's expected

I have set hide_background = yes

See my task manager:

When I use this plugin:

But I can see it in TaskSwitcher plugin:

Perhaps we can reuse the logic of getting available processes in TaskSwitcher plugin?

Heavy loading of CPU

I reported a heavy CPU load here when launching KP as non-admin, and it turned out to be specific to the Kill plugin. I'm happy to help debugging.

KP version: 2.21, installed via choco install, Windows 10 64 bit. The Kill version is whatever is installed when running the PackageControl install command.

Here's the log for the startup and where it stops, when Kill is installed:
