Bug: Doesn't seem to work on all connected keyboards

Requirements

[X] I've searched platform-specific issues, issues and discussions to see if this has been reported before.

Describe the bug

Hi there,

I've been using kanata for a while now and I seem to be hitting a snag using it with multiple keyboard. When I run it and use the laptop's keyboard, it works just fine, but the same config does not seem to apply to any USB connected external keyboards.

I tried validating my config in the simulator and it agrees with me that it should work..

Also, the keyboard itself works just fine, kanata detects it during startup, but there's no logging at all for this device (whereas my bluetooth mouse and laptop keyboard do generate output)

Relevant kanata config

(defsrc
  caps
)

(defalias
  esccaps (tap-hold 100 100 esc caps)
)

(deflayer base
  @esccaps
)

To Reproduce

Stick the above config in the sim, tap caps on both keyboards, it should show you that you pressed escape
Load the config in your system
Repeat the test, this time only the laptop keyboard is properly remapped
Also note that the second keyboard does not generate logging information, while the laptop keyboard does.

Expected behavior

I want caps to be remapped regardless of the keyboard that provides the keypress.

Kanata version

kanata 1.6.1

For whatever reason your usb keyboard may not be getting auto-detected.

You can try using the linux- device defcfg options to force kanata to find all desired devices.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately it doesn't work, the init logs show the following, I've marked the keyboard that doesn't work but is included:

I also checked with wev to see if the caps is mapped to a different ID or so, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I pressed caps on both keyboards once, but there's no difference, except timing and the serial for the keypress itself.

Thulium-Drake commented 1 month ago

It seems isolated to this one keyboard, at work I'm using a KeyCron, which remaps just fine :-)

jtroo commented 1 month ago

How strange. Perhaps the outputs are actually coming from a different device that doesn't have the expected name? You can try using evtest on every single input device, one at a time, while testing the non-functional keyboard's keys to see which device shows events.

Thulium-Drake commented 1 month ago

I've added the output below! :-) and I've seen something really odd (for me, I don't know if it does make sense in keyboard world)

The non-functional keyboard seems to be split in 2 keyboards:

So it seems some of the keys are on input 10, see below for the ones evtest detected (and what happens when I press capslock:
