i'm trying to make plover work on sway, but after nix run .#plover-dotool and enabling the plugin, I get these errors:

why?

Hello, it's likely a problem with the configuration of plover.

Could you try removing the files ~/.config/plover/plover.cfg and ~/.config/plover/user.json ? You will then need to reconfigure plover

[formula-spectre]

i'll try it asap, ty!

[formula-spectre]

nope

rm -rvf ~/.config/plover
nix run .#plover-dotool

update:
I tried, after a nix-collect-garbage -d a nix develop, launched plover and tested both flavors, but nothing, I keep getting that error. why is that? do I need some regression?

[FirelightFlagboy]

I'm able to reproduce the error when I'm configuring plover in keyboard mode, usually I run plover in Gemini PR mode with a compatible keyboard

[FirelightFlagboy]

I only get the error when I change the mode, it's something that also happens to you ?

[formula-spectre]

nope, it happens when I toggle the output of plover on or "refresh"

ah I forgot to mention, i'm using Plover as a keyboard emulation, I don't have a steno kb (yet)

[FirelightFlagboy]

I've added some additional log in d32e9dbf873ca9652820c1d0408a2f3018279fe2 and run plover with

nix run .#plover-dotool -- --log-level info

Above the error I get the following log:

2024-05-13 18:26:41,698 [Dummy-1] INFO: Update Steno Engine, current keyboard: <plover_output_dotool.KeyboardEmulation object at 0x7f7c1150ed70> (<class 'plover_output_dotool.KeyboardEmulation'>)

That seems to indicate that the issue is with plover-dotool

[FirelightFlagboy]

I've a patch that resolve the error but I seems the keyboard mode don't work :/

Could you try the draft #2 ?

indeed; I don't get the error anymore, but keyboard mode does not work indeed, it works as a qwerty kb. is this a sign that I have to get a steno kb asap? /j
