[Feature Request] Custom button module

[Namnodorel]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use HyprPanel on a touch device and would like to set up shortcuts directly accessible in the top bar, such as an app launcher or rotating the screen.

Describe the solution you'd like
A module allowing to define custom buttons that show up in the top bar, with a specified icon and a command that gets executed when pressed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Rebinding the buttons in the dashboard works, but requires additional clicks, which gets cumbersome for common actions.

this already exists, read the docs

@orangci I did and could not find any such functionality.
Custom modules allow binding actions to clicks, but only for predefined modules. I don't think it is an elegant solution to add eg. a weather module so I can launch an application launcher by clicking it.
Other than this, the documentation only mentions shortcuts for the dashboard, which as I mentioned require first opening the dashboard, which gets cumbersome for frequent actions.

If there's a different way I missed, could you point me to it?

Like I already mentioned, all of the modules listed come with pre-defined functionality other than executing commands, and thus appear to be the wrong tool for the job.

I see.. appears I misunderstood what you wanted. I'll just re-open this.
