rightalt-as-rightctrl option not working #95

Open fvsnippets opened 1 year ago

fvsnippets commented 1 year ago

Hi! I am pretty sure that rightalt-as-rightctrl option used to work with my old installation (was debian 11 "bullseye"/kernel 5.10 but I don't know the hid-apple-patched commit I was using then).

Now is broken with debian 12 "buster"/kernel 6.1 and latest hid-apple-patched commit on master 46f3457

root@hostname# evtest

// Notice RIGHTMETA is also know as Super_R in some other programs such as xev.

My hardware: macbook air 2017 - spanish keyboard.

bustype: 0003 product: 0291 vendor: 05ac version: 0110

Changing other options (following #19 issue) doesn't seems to work. Other options (those I choose to use: fnmode, swap_fn_leftctrl, swap_opt_cmd) are working fine.

Thank you!

Notice: as a temporal workaround I am using udev.

root@hostname:\~# vi /etc/udev/hwdb.d/99-macbook-keyboard.hwdb

# Reassign RIGHT-ALT physical key as a temporal workaround to https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched/issues/95
evdev:input:b0003v05ACp0291e0110*
KEYBOARD_KEY_700e6=rightctrl

root@hostname:\~# udevadm --debug hwdb --update root@hostname:\~# udevadm --debug trigger

For those interested in this solution, you can read this related article (but there's a lot information on google :P )
