I think he/she is talking about getting it in to these shortcuts

I am not sure how he customized and got all these shortcuts in the control center, but having all this plus the flash light will be great.

Update: Sorry, I forgot you can press and hold any option in settings and add/remove to favorites to customize the control center shortcuts.

Just found out how it actually can also instantaneously.

Reason why it didn't work for me straight away was that you can actually make two shortcuts for this plugin. If you make the shortcut from the main settings page, it will work as I described in my previous post.

However, if you make the shortcut inside from the actual torch plugin, it will work has Nodevel described in his earlier post and turn on/off instantaneusly just like the wlan-shortcut for example

And it works the same on the WLAN toggle. There you can add both too. You just forgot how it works since you first set it.

A new window opens and from there I click and the torch comes on. I can't find any setting or something that would change behavior so that torch would come on directly by clicking the torch shortcut

Here the same got the shortcut but clicking on in open a second page just like lokation.

This is not exactly related to flashlight, rather to settings plugin system, but I'll just put it out here.

I was thinking of creating a plugin for sound recorder. I need to often start recording (lectures, seminars at school) as fast as possible and having a plugin in the events view control center would be a great way to achieve this.

When switched, it would start recording (according to options in the settings, like naming scheme, format, folder), when switched again, it would stop. No pause functionality, just a start and a stop.

It would be great to have an indicator present on the lockcreen as well (like bluetooth, silent mode, etc), but that is of secondary importance.

I had started some initial work on this, but 1) currently don't have the time 2) need some time to master C++. So if somebody (Sfiet_Konstantin wink wink

) is interested in this idea, it shouldn't be that hard to implement, as the source code for a Recorder app is already out there:

Could the icon for torch on the cover of settings be made a bit smaller?
See https://together.jolla.com/question/...-settings-app/ for the reason ;-)
