3 years ago Going through the list of existing issues it seems that this issue should probably be included in the Meta Issue: Keyboard input #1806 and is possibly related to No character getting received on international keyboard on macOS #1208.
While using alacritty on macOS and OpenBSD I notice a difference in the keybinding configuration, where some keybindings working on macOS are not working on OpenBSD. The helpful folks in the
#alacrittyLibera.Chat channel pointed me to this repository and suggested that the issue that I run into might be related to a missing (platform) mapping in this repository, which alacritty uses as a dependency.I modified the
examples/resizable.rsin order to provide a Minimal Working Example (MWE) (see below).Note that on OpenBSD I am using the
us.swapctrlcapskeyboard layout, have assigned the physical Control left of the spacebar toHyper_Lusingkeycode 37 = Hyper_Lin~/.Xmodmap(this should not matter though as the tests below only use the Command key), and have swapped the left logo key with the left alt key in order to match macOS' layout where the left Command key is left of the space bar and the left Alt (Option) key is to the left of the left Command key resulting in: Alt Command Spacesw_vers -productVersionuname -rrustc --versionI've tested the MWE on both macOS and OpenBSD as follows:
