[Issue] Modifier does not work for other G-Keys #15
Description
Hi,
I want to use G5 a an "Hyper" Key, and all other keys G-keys defined as F-key (F13...F21). My main point is that I prefer to manage G-keys at application-level.
Note: Below was tested on XUbuntu 18.04.
I added in char_uinput_mapper.py :
# japanese keys
"muhenkan": click(uinput.KEY_MUHENKAN),
"zenkakuhankaku": click(uinput.KEY_ZENKAKUHANKAKU),
"katakana": click(uinput.KEY_KATAKANA),
"hiragana": click(uinput.KEY_HIRAGANA),
"henkan": click(uinput.KEY_HENKAN),
"katakanahiragana": click(uinput.KEY_KATAKANAHIRAGANA),
'F19': click(uinput.KEY_F19),
'F20': click(uinput.KEY_F20),
'F21': click(uinput.KEY_F21),
'F22': click(uinput.KEY_F22),
'F23': click(uinput.KEY_F23),
'F24': click(uinput.KEY_F24),
My /etc/g910-gkeys/config.json contains the mapping of G1-G9 to F13-F21 (please see the comment for G8) :
{
"__comment": "following hotkey types are supported: nothing, typeout, shortcut and run; only en and si keyboard mappings are currently supported",
"keyboard_mapping": "en",
"g1": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F13"
},
"g2": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F14"
},
"g3": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F15"
},
"g4": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F16"
},
"g5": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F17"
},
"g6": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F18"
},
"g7": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F19"
},
"__comment": "I am in fact unable to use F20 : even xev does not show the keycode. It just mutes/unmutes sound, same as the G910's <mute> button - until understood, F21&F22 look a better choice below",
"g8": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F20"
},
"g9": {
"hotkey_type": "shortcut",
"do": "F21"
}
}
I have added in my ~.Xmodmap :
! Map "Windows right" to Meta_R and "Menu right" to Super_R
keycode 134 = Meta_R NoSymbol Meta_R
keycode 135 = Super_R NoSymbol Super_R
! and G5 (F17) becomes Hyper_L
keycode 195 = Hyper_L NoSymbol Hyper_L
! necessary on my system, for some reason original modifier for mod4 contains already Hyper_L:
! mod4 Super_L (0x85), Meta_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
clear mod4
add mod4 = Super_L Super_R
! now we define G5 as Hyper_L
clear mod3
add mod3 = Hyper_L
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Logitech G910 keyboard
! original F13, F14, etc... mapping
! F13 = keycode 191 = XF86Toolks NoSymbol XF86Tools
! F14 = keycode 192 = XF86Launch5 NoSymbol XF86Launch5
! F15 = keycode 193 = XF86Launch6 NoSymbol XF86Launch6
! F16 = keycode 194 = XF86Launch7 NoSymbol XF86kLaunch7
! F17 = keycode 195 = XF86Launch8 NoSymbol XF86Launch8
! F18 = keycode 196 = XF86Launch9 NoSymbol XF86Launch9
! F19 = keycode 197 = (nothing)
! F20 = keycode 198 = XF86AudioMicMute NoSymbol XF86AudioMicMute
! F21 = keycode 199 = XF86TouchpadToggle NoSymbol XF86TouchpadToggle
! F22 = keycode 200 = XF86TouchpadOn NoSymbol XF86TouchpadOn
! map the Gkeys to F13-F22, and not XF86Tools, etc...
! Except G5, that became Hyper_L above
! Keycodes are from 191 (G1/F13) to 199 (G9/F21)
keycode 191 = F13 F13 F13
keycode 192 = F14 F14 F14
keycode 193 = F15 F15 F15
keycode 194 = F16 F16 F16
! G5 - skipped
! keycode 195 = F17 F17 F17
keycode 196 = F18 F18 F18
keycode 197 = F19 F19 F19
keycode 198 = F20 F20 F20
keycode 199 = F21 F21 F21
So far so good, the hyper modifier works (tested under Emacs):
G5-c is seen as Hyper-c, etc...
G5+CTRL+Windows+ALT+SHIFT-f is seen as ctrl-meta-super-hyper-shift-f.
For other g-keys (except G8/F20), I can also use ctrl-g1, shift-g1, meta-g1, ctrl+super+g1 etc, who return the correct codes (ctrl-F13, etc...).
The issue is for the "hyper" modifier (G5), when used with another G-KEY.
G5-G1 should return "Hyper-F13". It returns nothing.
More interesting: When used with another modifier (let say control), nothing is returned too:
ctrl-G5-G1, shift-G5-G1 etc... do not work.
Hope this will help,
br.
