Can't send super/windows key hotkeys when using hardware keyboard

sudomain commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I'm trying to send super + key hotkeys to my server using hardware keyboards, but these hotkeys aren't going through. Ctrl, Alt, Shift modifiers all work, but not super for some reason. I've tried a few things:

2 different bluetooth keyboards and an usb keyboard using a usb-c adapter.
I use Key Mapper and disabled it entirely

I checked Ctrl and Alt are working in my sxhkdrc config:

ctrl + a
termux-notification -c "Ctrl a test"
super + q
termux-notification -c "super q test"

With this config, both hotkeys work using the virtual keys, but only Ctrl + a works with a hardware keyboard. I'm wondering if it's just Android intercepting everything starting with super for its annoying keyboard shortcuts?

Edit: It turns out not to work for MultiVNC either

Edit #2: I spoke too soon: xev -event keyboard reports that it can see the event:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    root 0x51b, subw 0x0, time 572006702, (112,130), root:(677,740),
    state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    root 0x51b, subw 0x0, time 572006706, (112,130), root:(677,740),
    state 0x40, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Interestingly the KeyPress event of the super key is reported only after it is released (unlike the other modifier keys which have KeyPress occur instantly when the key is pressed). Additionally, if another key is pressed, for instance "q", then "q" is not reported

Please go to Settings => Tools => Key test in AVNC, and record different shortcuts involving Super key. Then, paste the event logs here.

Thank you for the reply. The following is a log of me holding the following keys for approximately 3 seconds and then releasing before proceeding to the next key:

left Ctrl
left Super
right Ctrl
right Super

None of the keys were pressed at the same time:

Unlike the Ctrls, the left super only had 2 key events- up and down, while the right super doesn't appear at all.

Next I tried a sequence of sequence of:
1. Left super + q
2. Right super + q

and this is the log:

Key test

```python KeyEvent { action=ACTION_DOWN, keyCode=KEYCODE_META_LEFT, scanCode=125, metaState=0, flags=0x0, repeatCount=0, eventTime=679834811, downTime=679834811, deviceId=205, source=0x0, displayId=0 } KeyEvent { action=ACTION_UP, keyCode=KEYCODE_META_LEFT, scanCode=125, metaState=0, flags=0x0, repeatCount=0, eventTime=679834811, downTime=679834811, deviceId=205, source=0x0, displayId=0 } Preview text: ```



So the left super is detected but any keys pressed at the same time are ignored, while the right supre does not get detected.

left and right `super + q` hotkeys can be detected in Key Mapper.

left and right super + q hotkeys can be detected in Key Mapper.

Is this an Android app?

sudomain commented 1 year ago

Yes - https://github.com/keymapperorg/KeyMapper

gujjwal00 commented 1 year ago

Try mapping the right super to left super (or any other key code) in Key Mapper, and check if something is detected in AVNC key test.

Key Mapper seems to use accessibility service to detect key events, so it might not be affected.

gujjwal00 commented 1 year ago

Closing this. If the OS is not reporting events correctly, there is nothing AVNC can do. You could try one of the key mappings in Input settings.

sudomain commented 1 year ago

Sorry for the late reply. I ended up mapping left super to left super and right super to right super in Key Mapper when AVNC is in the foreground. This fixed the issue and allows all Super + * hotkeys. You're probably right about the accessibility service. Thanks!
