I just defined the video button as gui button
It would be very nice if you could adjust the position of this gui area in the layout editor. I do not know if that would be possible.
Btw, I got a compiler warning (gcc 4.9.3)
I tend to use "on ALT" but I figured others might not like it coming up each time you enter ALT - even though doing so does not prevent you from doing normal things.
Are you wanting to move it horizontally to center it in your wide display? That's one the items on my to do list as well.

allow user to shoot in ALT mode (user configurable choice for the shutter button to either launch the current script or shoot while in <ALT> mode. Or decide base on cursor position- if on script, launch script. Otherwise shoot.)
One thing I've been thinking about since the initial version: Do we even need to keep the old style alt mode?
I would argue for something that doesn't require setting a menu option. Deciding based on cursor position might be a bit confusing, but should be quick/convenient once you understand it. Another option would be to have separate cursor positions for "run" and "select" so for example pressing set when the name is highlighted runs the script, and there's a disk icon or something next to it to that brings up the selection dialog.
Existing alt mode shortcuts* Raw, zerbra etc are handled by the new GUI, so IMO don't need shortcuts at all. * The shooting related (mostly half press) shortcuts are probably valued by some users. If shooting is allowed in the GUI, then half press shortcuts would make sense (analogous to Canon AF and AE lock) and not conflict with Canon keys or the regular GUI. OTOH, half press shortcuts are pretty awkward on many of these cameras.
* One of my long term wishes has been to make shortcuts assignable. So you would have a list of actions (like "override focus to infinity") and rather than having a bunch of camera specific hard coded camera defaults, they would all start out unassigned and users could assign to based on what keys their camera actually has. Note I'm not suggesting you need to implement this, it could be a separate project for 1.6.
[quote author=waterwingz link=topic=13293.msg135260#msg135260 Yes, horizontally centered would be nice. I also would like to move the gui area over the Canon exposure values, so the suggestion with the layout editor.
One compromise here might be to have "on ALT" mode selected by default?
Somewhere there is a thread where we talked about a user editable table that maps key presses to user selected actions. I can't find it now but it would allow remapping broken keys or launching specific scripts based on pressing a specific key. Once you get started down this path there are a lot of possibilities.
But the CHDK histogram runs in "real time" while in shooting mode. I assume it's using the LCD buffer so getting a real Bv value might be tricky but somewhere in the Canon code the LCD brightness gets adjusted based on exposure settings so there might be something to play around with there?
Would you post a screen capture so that I can see the current centering and maybe where you'd like to be able to move things to?
