I would like to setup keyboard shortcuts for GPS data capture with QGIS.
Using GPS Information dialog box, I could use Mouse-Left-Click to "Add feature" and "Add track point", but I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for them so that I can use a programmable Mouse.
Settings --> Configure Shortcuts lists only few commands
Is there a way I can call the API behind that and assign to a shortcut key?
The following code will allow you to access the GPS action:
GPSdock = iface.mainWindow().findChild(QDockWidget, "GPSInformation")
button = GPSdock.findChild(QPushButton, "mBtnCloseFeature")
button.click()
You can wrap this logic in a plugin by using the QGIS Plugin Builder plugin from inside QGIS to get you a template for the plugin. Example coming later..
