Fix on Xwayland #1

Closed atx closed 3 years ago

atx commented 5 years ago

For whichever reason the dynamically generated keymap does not propagate to an application running under Xwayland. This is likely a bug somewhere in sway/wlroots/Xwayland.

atx commented 5 years ago

So, this seems to be a combination of X not accepting keycodes larger than 255 in its keymap and also all inputs getting merged together. Not sure if there is any reasonable fix at the moment.

Yup, that seems to do the trick. Thanks for noticing.

Leaving open for a while longer, since:

Not sure if just doing include "default" for the xkb_compatibility and xkb_types sections won't cause some unforeseen issues down the line
It makes xkbcli interactive-x11 crash for some weird reason. Other applications I have tested seem to do fine though, so it may just be a bug in xkbcli

emersion commented 3 years ago

xkbcli interactive-x11 exits because it checks keycode == 9 to look for Esc, which we use for the 3rd character. Fix: https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/253
