niri bindings ignore virtual keyboards #403

Open minego opened 4 months ago

minego commented 4 months ago

Virtual keyboards, such as wvkbd or squeekboard work (current wvkbd requires a patch to either Smithay or wvkbd itself for the keymap size) but niri bindings can not be triggered.

Input is sent to windows properly, but nothing is handled by the niri bindings.

Hm, I wonder if it's even possible to catch those key presses with Smithay currently.

minego commented 4 months ago

Should I enter an issue for Smithay instead?

I'd first make sure that I haven't missed something (hence I haven't closed this issue yet).

I've experienced the same issue and wrote about it in #631, it's ultimately a duplicate issue of this issue so i've closed it now, though.
