What i did:

  1. Download source zip into home directory and extract the package
  2. Mapped KEY-L to KEY-RIGHT, KEY-I to KEY-UP, KEY-U to KEY-HOME, KEY-O to KEY-END and KEY-M to KEY-PAGEUP
  3. Build the executable running the make command
  4. run the program using the command sudo ./spacefn /dev/input/by-id/usb-BY_Tech_Gaming_KB-event-kbd

Expected behavior:

spacefn layout is applied to mapped keys and other keys are unaffected

Actual behavior:

  1. Mapped keys worked as expected
  2. Old keys stop working (due to blacklist function i assume)
  3. Enter key stop working completely

Note: Same behavior if the command is sudo ./spacefn /dev/input/eventXX

Hi mate! What can happen is that the enter key gets stuck "down" because you're holding it when spacefn starts.

What happens if you run

sleep 1; sudo ./spacefn /dev/input/by-id/usb-BY_Tech_Gaming_KB-event-kbd

so that you have time to let go of Enter before spacefn starts?

Hey man! Your deduction was correct. I was previously using spacefn in another ubuntu machine and it has been just wonderfull. I did not have the issue back then and i didn't really knew what was causing it but your suggestion worked perfectly. Thank you very much mate. Keep up with the amazing work!
