How do I redock a window? #318

Open Moooebie opened 1 year ago

Moooebie commented 1 year ago

Hello. I believe this is a very stupid question and not really an "issue" with the program, sorry for posting it here. But how can I redock a window which is undocked in the UI edit mode? (Just like the keypad shown in screenshot below, which has became a separate window - how can I redock it back to the main window?) Also I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the keyboard binding (how are the computer keyboard keys mapped to the calculator). I think it would be very helpful to add a section in the wiki about the keyboard shortcuts and key binding... image

You can drag it over the main window. If you use Wayland, that sometimes just doesn't work, and you need to run firebird with -platform xcb...

Also I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the keyboard binding (how are the computer keyboard keys mapped to the calculator). I think it would be very helpful to add a section in the wiki about the keyboard shortcuts and key binding...

The list is here: https://github.com/nspire-emus/firebird/blob/master/qtkeypadbridge.cpp#L28

Maybe you could start such a wiki page?

I'm indeed using Wayland, and starting the program with -platform xcb indeed solved the problem. Thank you very much! I'll see if I can figure out the keyboard binding thing and I'll try creating a wiki page...

Could Firebird override the platform to xcb if it detects that the platform is wayland?

Vogtinator commented 3 months ago

Yes, but not sure whether that's a good idea, as wayland works well enough (at least for me)

I can't dock windows in Firebird using Wayland, and when I move docks to new windows and close them because I can't redock them, I effectively softlock myself until I delete the configuration file.
