Problems with Super+letter shortcuts #23
Comments
demonstration.mp4 |
Really not sure what's going on there. DId or did you not test other Super shortcuts though? And have you tried the BigBag on your Arch host OS too, or is it only in the VM? Could you please describe what's happening, as I don't quite follow the video. |
I installed the big bag on my Arch host (XFCE desktop environment) the exact same as I did in the vm, but I ran setxkb.sh without -a so I could test the shortcuts while focused on a terminal window before activating it, to make sure the shortcut's problems weren't also mirrored in qwerty. All the shortcuts below were made in Shortcuts that don't work at first and just type the letter in the terminal (Except Super+Alt+b)(Ex: Super+L will just type L; see 1:02 in vid), but work correctly after changing the shortcut to something else and reverting (Ex: Going into xfce4-keyboard-settings, changing Super+L to Super+/, then back to Super+L (This "fix" goes away after logging out and must be done on every login)): Besides shortcuts, there's problems I had with Extend+Q. It didn't close nomacs (nomacs has an option to bind esc to this. Pressing the real esc key does close it), and Extend+Q doesn't close popup windows/menus in Anki (installed via anki-bin), Krita, or Kdenlive, while esc is able to. In GIMP, neovim, Notepad++ (Wine) and elsewhere it does function like esc. |
I found a "fix". I set the layout persistently by plugging in the options for the setxkbmap command into localectl set-x11-keymap, which looks like this for 4cw us us: On a tangential note, for setting the console font, which is used in TTYs (and the LUKS password prompt if you have that set up, although for that to change, rebuild the initramfs with Edit: seems like with the persistent configuration, extend doesn't work properly and keys don't repeat when held down. I'll just use the colemak dh built into vanilla xkeyboard-config for now. |
Host OS: Arch Linux
VirtualBox Version: 6.1.30 r148432
Steps to reproduce:
Install Xubuntu 21.10 in a VirtualBox VM
Install git, then clone https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB.git
Install big bag using
bash install-dreymar-xmod.sh -o "4caw us us"
Reboot VM
Set keyboard layout with
bash setxkb.sh -a "4caw us us"
Try shortcuts involving Super+[Tab, D, E, F, L, etc]
Recorded a video in my VM for demonstration, with
python3-pip
andpython3-xlib
additionally installed so I could install key-mon to show keypresses. When I used Xubuntu 21.10 on bare metal with big bag installed like this, Super+L behaved like it did in this vid, but I didn't test the other shortcuts.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
