If ^[^TKEY_KPMINUS: xdotool key 'Control_L+Shift_L+Meta_L+t'
gets printed on a key press it seems the key is being recorded successfully and the command is being found in the layer, meaning the ^[^T
section is not actually part of the keycode Keebie is processing. This looks like what would occur if you focused the terminal window and pressed ctrl+[
then ctrl+T
on your main keyboard. Odd.
bah I'm afraid I gave you the wrong input, it's just
KEY_KPMINUS: xdotool key 'Control_L+Shift_L+Meta_L+t'
What i had sent initially is what occurs when I have keebie's terminal output window open. The point is, ctrl+shift+alt+t does not work on the first attempt if i press kpminus on the other keyboard, whereas it works on the first attempt if i just press ctrl+shift+alt+t on my first keyboard.
Any ideas?
my keys are these:
"KEY_SPACE": "xdotool key 'Control_L+F10'",
"leds": [],
"KEY_T": "xdotool key 'Super_L+t'",
"KEY_KPSLASH": "xdotool key 'Control_L+F9'",
"KEY_KPASTERISK": "xdotool key 'Control_L+F10'",
"KEY_KP1": "xdotool key 'Super_L+1'",
"KEY_KP2": "xdotool key 'Super_L+2'",
"KEY_KP3": "xdotool key 'Super_L+3'",
"KEY_KP4": "xdotool key 'Super_L+4'",
"KEY_KP5": "xdotool key 'Super_L+5'",
"KEY_KP6": "xdotool key 'Super_L+6'",
"KEY_KP7": "xdotool key 'Super_L+7'",
"KEY_KP8": "xdotool key 'Super_L+8'",
"KEY_KP9": "xdotool key 'Super_L+9'",
"KEY_KPENTER": "xdotool key 'Control_L+Shift_L+O'",
"KEY_KPMINUS": "xdotool key 'Control_L+Shift_L+Meta_L+t'",
"KEY_KPPLUS": "xdotool key 'Control_L+Shift_L+Meta_L+e'",
"KEY_KP0": "xdotool key 'Control_L+grave'",
"KEY_KPDOT": "xdotool type --window 209715207 key 'Super_L+t'",
"KEY_COMPOSE": "xdotool key 'Multi_key'",
"KEY_F1": "xdotool key 'Multi_key+Alt_R'",
"KEY_F2": "xdotool key 'F13+Alt_R'",
"KEY_F3": "xdotool key 'F14+Alt_R'",
"KEY_RIGHTALT": "xdotool key 'alt_R'",
"KEY_S": "xdotool keydown ctrl keydown x keyup x keydown s keyup s keyup ctrl",
"KEY_DOWN": "xdotool keydown ctrl keydown c keyup c keydown f keyup f keyup ctrl",
"KEY_UP": "xdotool keydown ctrl keydown c keyup c keydown b keyup b keyup ctrl",
"KEY_1": "layer:emacs",
"KEY_2": "layer:secondary",
"KEY_3": "layer:remoteDesktop",
"KEY_F": "a"
}
Ok i think I understand, could you run Keebie with --verbose
and replicate the issue, then post that output?
eeeeeer sorry to ask this, but i run keebie with python3 keebie.py, and i can't put --verbose in there... is there another way !?
Keebie has a shebash so you dont need to set an interpreter, just run keebie --verbose
(or ./keebie.py --verbose
if not installed).
Keebie-master ./keebie.py --verbose
usage: keebie.py [-h] [--layers] [--device DEVICE] [--detect] [--add] [--settings] [--edit [layer]]
keebie.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --verbose
hmm i just dloaded the latest version, mine was from april. Let me give it a go and i'll get back to soonish. Thanks a lot for the immediate help !!
Ah sorry, I guess I should have established what version was being used. By the way the latest version will be majorly incompatible with a version that old.
You're welcome for the immediate help, Vivaldi notifies me of emails and I have no life! :)
Heads up: Starting tomorrow (20th) I will be out of contact until Monday.
Thanks for the heads up, but I never expect an answer so no worries ;)
I managed to install and run the latest version, same problem, the first attempt doesn't work, although i get the same results in the log:
event19) > rising with new keys KEY_KPMINUS

having a life is overrated :P
I use Vivaldi, too, and love its features, but its slowness is killing me :(
Alright, no obvious failures in Keebie here (as I'm sure you figured out), at this point I can only assume that it's an issue with your keyboard not sending events, or evdev
not reading them.
A few tests:
First here is stupidly barebones test script, put this code into a python file, make it executable, and run it. See if it prints lines like key event at 1629476850.384745, 74 (KEY_KPMINUS), down
when it should. If not then evdev
isn't getting events and there's likely nothing we can do about it.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import evdev
device = evdev.InputDevice("/dev/input/event19")
device.grab()
for event in device.read_loop():
print(event)
if event.type == evdev.ecodes.EV_KEY:
print()
print()
print(evdev.categorize(event))
print()
print()
If evdev
isn't getting events it may be interesting (though futile) to see if the event file is getting events. To do so run cat /dev/input/event19
and see if it spews nonsense onto the terminal when you press keys.

Vivaldi is pretty good for me, but maybe it's just being covered for by my terrible internet.
Just to poke a little, any news?
Hello hello! First day of vacation, will be back in a few days! No luck though. I also need to set the device again after each restart, so will be coming back with requests for help :D Thanks a lot!!

The second keyboard I've set up works, but if it has been a while since I used it, the first keypress presses something else alltogether. From the log e.g. i get this:
the second line reflects what happens when I haven't pressed it in a while. Am I doing something wrong? or is this a bug? Thanks for the excellent software, i'm enjoying it a lot !!!!
