screenkey does not work with i3-wm

[zenny]

Screenkey does not work with i3 window manager despite appending:

for_window [title="^screenkey"] floating enable

in the config file. My machine has the following:

$ screenkey --version 0.2

Note that screenkey in this repository is at 0.7 ;)

Sorry for the oversight. this work works better in some ways.

However, how can one show mouse clicks like how key-mon shows?

Not yet.

I use screenkey together with key-mon for this reason.

Closing this, I'll open a new issue for mouse clicks, since this is something that I'll also like to implement in the future.

@wavexx Thanks for considering https://github.com/wavexx/screenkey/issues/18 - a desired feature!
