Text is not inserted

[jjnilton]

I'm using Lubuntu 16.04 (through VirtualBox), when I press the keyboard shortcut it does show rofi and suggestions and aliases but it does not insert them.

In Firefox it opens a new window, probably related to issue #37. In other applications it does not seem to insert any text at all, tried in LXTerminal and Leafpad.

These are my keybinds:

    <keybind key="C-F1">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>textsuggest --auto-selection</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-F2">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>textsuggest</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="C-F3">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>textsuggest --no-selection</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

What happens when you run it from the terminal?

Try this:

$ mkdir ~/.config/textsuggest/processors

Meanwhile, I'll update the install.sh script.

Probably fixed by 380e73d.

[bharadwaj-raju]

@jjnilton Is it fixed? I'm waiting for a response so I can close this.

[jjnilton]

@bharadwaj-raju yes, it works after making the directory. Thanks!

Neither of the two issues described have been fixed.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, and I still can't insert words unless I make the directory:

$ mkdir ~/.config/textsuggest/processors

Also, if a word is inserted somewhere in Firefox, it opens a new window. I'm not experiencing this issue in Chromium. I haven't tried other browsers.

@whitemarvin I'm sorry, the deb file must be having an outdated install script.

Can you try with git version? Just to see where the issue is.

[bharadwaj-raju]

@whitemarvin As for the Firefox issue, can you tell me your desktop environment?

[actuallySIG]

@bharadwaj-raju I'm using Unity.

Do I have to uninstall before trying the git version? Because TextSuggest doesn't show up in Ubuntu's package manager, and I can't remove it using the command line either:

E: Unable to locate package textsuggest

[bharadwaj-raju]

No, just use the git version's install script:

$ sudo ./install.sh --uninstall
$ sudo ./install.sh

[actuallySIG]

I've installed the git version, but both issues are still present. Also, I've encountered the following error once, while testing TS in Firefox: http://i.imgur.com/XvOxvUU.png

[bharadwaj-raju]

I'll fix it by next week, sorry. Meanwhile, try removing the ~/.config/textsuggest directory and then re-installing.

Sorry.

[actuallySIG]

I tried that, but now TextSuggest doesn't work at all. If I use TS in the command line, I get the following error:

textsuggest -h

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/textsuggest", line 50, in with open(custom_words_file) as f: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/dan/.config/textsuggest/Custom_Words.txt'

[bharadwaj-raju]

I think I've found the problem; will fix by next week. Sorry.
