the output_symbol "t" is not a valid keycode-name

[Logical-sh]

Please install the newest version from source to see if the problem has already been solved.

Share some logs please:

1. input-remapper-control --version input-remapper 1.6.0-beta abb1b76e853b25d27c35450dcb1717b56488d420 https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper

2. which linux distro (ubuntu 20.04, manjaro, etc.) Arch

3. echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland

4. which desktop environment (gnome, plasma, xfce4, etc.) KDE

5. sudo ls -l /proc/1/exe systemd

6. paste the affected preset .json file from ~/.config/input-remapper/presets new preset.json.txt

7. sudo pkill -f input-remapper-service && input-remapper-gtk -d, apply the preset and hit your key. Then share that log. log.txt

8. sudo evtest while the previous command is running, to see how events are injected. Devices starting with input-remapper ... are of interest.

Remapping itself isn't the issue. I am pretty sure this is the error in question.

output_symbol
  the output_symbol "t" is not a macro and not a valid keycode-name (type=value_error)

  missing macro or key: "5" is not used as analog input, but no output macro or key is programmed (type=value_error)

Optional `xmodmap` command not found. This is not critical.

Without xmodmap, symbols like "t" are not available. Try KEY_T as output.

xmodmap is not a dependency, because I'm not sure how many X dependencies are pulled in on wayland installations and if people would be fine with that, and how useful it is on wayland DEs.

Maybe the error message should suggest to try installing xmodmap or to prefix it with KEY_

[sezanzeb]

I just added xorg-xmodmap to optdepends in the AUR packages

[sezanzeb]

logs won't make it look like xmodmap.json contains usefull stuff when xmodmap is not even installed anymore: https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/pull/531

todo:

• [ ] hide __root__ errors when there are other errors above it. Because __root__ errors usually seem to be the result of other errors and make understanding the error-message in this case more complicated
• [ ] replace __root__ with mapping
