Using keymapper for a global PTT gets interrupted by keypresses. #73

Closed naelstrof closed 8 months ago

naelstrof commented 9 months ago

Trying to use a global binding so that discord on wayland works.

# ~/.config/keymapper.conf
ButtonForward >> $(pamixer --default-source -u) ^ $(pamixer --default-source -m)

Expected behavior:

Holding ButtonForward down will unmute, on release it'll mute.

Actual behavior:

pamixer --default-source -m will get called as soon as any key is pressed. Regardless if ButtonForward is still held down or not.

Oh this appears to be intended behavior, not sure how to make this match regardless of the key sequences input.

Yes, right, this is the current behavior. It is effectively waiting at the ^ until ButtonForward (or any other key) is released. I will try to allow this use case but I am not sure when I get to it.

Thank you! I'm slowly picking at the code and have already soft locked my setup a few times trying to make it be more specific on key releases.

I'll make a pull request if I make more progress tomorrow, but it kind of seems like what I'm doing is going to be a hack.

Thank you very much for your pull request! It looks good, but I recently implemented it differently. Without the blocking behavior there was no longer a good reason, to implement it in the platform specific code.

This is now available. Currently in the 3.0.0 prerelease.
