keyboard shortcuts and auto repeat not working #10

Open cyberhuman opened 5 years ago

cyberhuman commented 5 years ago

In dmenu the following key combinations work:

Ctrl+W to remove word
Ctrl+A to go to the beginning of the line
Ctrl+E to go to the ending of the line
Ctrl+Y to paste from clipboard
Ctrl+Left to jump over the word left
Ctrl+Right to jump over the word right

Maybe there are others that I didn't find. None of these work in dmenu-wl. Also key presses don't auto repeat.

Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E should be already implemented. For Ctrl+Y I have to figure out how to paste from clipboard in Wayland (and how it plays with XWayland clients, too).

Keyrepeat is not yet implemented, on Wayland each client needs to handle keyrepeat by itself.

Right, I missed that Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E are implemented!

When implementing Paste, "Control+V" should also be implemented as well as the "Paste" keycode.

For example, I would like to paste in a Nerdfont glyph that I don't know how to type.
