After update keepmenu started to incorrectly type `|` as `>` #140

prosp3ro commented 2 years ago

After updating keepmenu and using it I started to get errors about entering wrong passwords on sites. Turns out keepmenu is replacing | symbol with >.

A couple of questions:

what was the previous version and what's the new one?
what is the auto-type method (pynput, xdotool, ydotool, wtype)?

prosp3ro commented 2 years ago

pynput was used, now after a change to xdotool it's working corretly. Sorry, I didn't think this could be a issue.

firecat53 commented 2 years ago

No worries! I'm not sure if you're using US English keyboard, but xdotool is the only one that will work with non-English layouts. It's in the documentation, but I know there's a lot of words in there, so easy to miss!

vaygr commented 10 months ago

Now I've faced this bug myself. Using pynput keepmenu turned password .....|.......... into .....>........... Regular US English kb/layout here.

firecat53 commented 9 months ago

I'm very tempted to remove pynput but it does provide a low barrier for people testing keepmenu for the first time without any additional configuration or tools.

vaygr commented 9 months ago

Should we report this behavior to pynput? I feel like this is a great dependency-less option to keep.

firecat53 commented 9 months ago

That would prob be good. Sure be nice if they also supported wayland! I tried the uinput backend and even though my /dev/uinput has rw-rw---- 1 root users, and my user is part of users group, it still wanted root permissions.

In any case, I don't use X so it'll be awhile before I get around to switching and gathering enough info for a bug report. If you have the capacity, please do so!
