sxhkd doesn't work unless a window is focused

codic12 commented 3 years ago

I'm developing a reparenting window manager, and on my setup using sxhkd for keybindings.

The problem is, sxhkd only seems to work if a window is focused. So, say I bind super+Return to open a terminal:

I start out with only the root window.
I open a terminal with super+Return, it works.
I close the terminal
Now I can't use any sxhkd keybindings, unless I spawn some application another way and focus that.

Is this a bug?

This doesn't happen on bspwm so probably my wm needs to do something; but what?

Figured it out: when you unmap a window and there's nothing on the screen left, you must revert the input focus to root:

self.conn
                .set_input_focus(xproto::InputFocus::POINTER_ROOT, screen.root, CURRENT_TIME)?
                .check()?;

@codic12 ignore it; it's probably a spambot https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd/issues/216#issuecomment-932950183 quote:
