zmk commit not outputting events to xev (on nixos)

[stites]

Hi dnaq!

I built your fork for my ZMK device (a cornish zen) and have a keymap which looks the the following (https://github.com/stites/zmk-config/blob/main/config/corne-ish_zen.keymap#L73-L80):

        plover_layer {
            label = "PLOVER";
            bindings = <
   &none        &kp  PLV_SL  &kp PLV_TL  &kp PLV_PL  &kp PLV_HL  &kp PLV_ST        &kp PLV_ST  &kp PLV_FR  &kp PLV_PR  &kp PLV_LR  &kp PLV_TR  &kp PLV_DR
   &none        &kp  PLV_SL  &kp PLV_KL  &kp PLV_WL  &kp PLV_RL  &kp PLV_ST        &kp PLV_ST  &kp PLV_RR  &kp PLV_BR  &kp PLV_GR  &kp PLV_SR  &kp PLV_ZR
   &to  COLMAK  &kp  PLV_X1  &kp PLV_X2  &kp PLV_X3  &kp PLV_X4  &kp PLV_X5        &kp PLV_X6   &kp PLV_X7  &kp PLV_X7  &kp PLV_X8  &kp PLV_X9  &none
                                          &kp PLV_A   &kp PLV_O  &kp PLV_NM        &kp PLV_NM   &kp PLV_E   &kp PLV_U
            >;
        };

This layer is not triggering any output according to xev -- is there something I should be doing in addition to simply toggling the layer?

Because I am building a zen (which is not in the main branch of zmk) I had to cherry picked your commit over someone else's fork. Possibly this is also the problem? The branch I am working off of is here: https://github.com/stites/zmk/tree/zen-on-main+969+plover-hid

I am also using this flake for my build environment and run make clean && make to produce my firmware.

You need to use the corresponding input plugin for plover. You shouldn’t see any output in xev, since this acts is its own protocol, not as a keyboard.

ah! I need to add figure out a nix derivation for this library -- I am getting the following error:

Would you happen to have one already on hand or could you add it to https://github.com/dnaq/plover-flake ? I see that you have already set up hidapi here: https://github.com/dnaq/plover-flake/blob/master/default.nix#L3-L35

[dnaq]

I don’t have one unfortunately, but you should be able to install the plugin with plover -s plover_plugins install /path/to/git/repo using the plover-flake derivation.

You also need to make sure that your user has permissions to read the raw hid devices, on nixos it’s the uinput group I believe.
