Keyboard not working properly

[BeZaBel]

Describe the bug When launching into Ragnar the only way to launch alacritty is through the bar button, same with dmenu. The configuration is the default one. When it launches the terminal, the terminal cursor remains on the screen as if the window isn't selected. Sometimes I can type, sometimes I cannot, it is very inconsistent. If I launch Firefox or Chromium the same behavior appears, (minus the text cursor). Sometimes I can type, sometimes I just can´t. Also, the key binds in the default config are not working. Also, Y and Z are inverted, meaning that if I type Z I get Y on the screen and vice versa. No any other keys have this problem as far as I've seen. The only way to fix it is using setxkbmap to set my layout again, that is, if the terminal allows me to type.

To Reproduce Launch the WM and try to use any default keybind.

Expected behavior Keys working.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Arch Linux
• Browser: Firefox
• Version: 1.1

Additional context This were my first minutes in Ragnar. It may as well be that I'm doing something wrong, but I checked dependencies and the config and everything looks ok to me. Dependencies are all installed. Other WMs are working properly.

it's probably because you have to select windows by pressing Super + Left Mouse or Super + Middle Mouse.

Only then you will be able to type something in applications.

Tried it but no change, the window is still not selected and can't type. I'm guessing it has something to do with how Ragnar is processing the keyboard input? Since it still thinks Z is Y and Y is Z when I'm typing.

try updating to version 1.2 and also set the keymap to your country by doing setxkbmap yours. This fixes the keymap issue.

I hope updating to v1.2 fixes the key issue aswell because i changed the event handling in 1.2

[cococry]

do setxkbmap in the ragnarstart file

[cococry]

did you fix this issue?

I'm having a similar issue, my keyboard seems to be working, but none of the keybinds are working, I changed my keymap already

[cococry]

did you hold the super/windows key for every keybind?

[brainlessbitch]

yes

[cococry]

make sure you have alacritty installed and press super + enter. this should definitely work, if not give me more information, is it also not working with other window managers?

[cococry]

and are you using v1.3?

[brainlessbitch]

i do have alacritty installed, and my keyboard is working with everything else

[brainlessbitch]

i just installed it

[cococry]

put 'chromium &' in your ragnarstart file and sudo make install and try if chrome is working with your keyboard. also, can you send me your ragnarstart file?

[brainlessbitch]

welp, i have no idea why, i just reloaded the config and now it works, i didn't make a single change, it just started working

[brainlessbitch]

i do have a few more questions tho, do you by chance have discord or some more streamlined form of communication?

[cococry]

ah okay perfect haha. if you get why it's not working, you're welcome to sent your solution to the issue

[cococry]
