Space bar does not work

[berkus]

far2l 2.6.3 on macOS (installed via homebrew)

I've added the following macro to key_macros.ini:

[KeyMacros/Shell/Space]
DisableOutput=0x1
EmptyCommandLine=0x1
NoSendKeysToPlugins=0x1
Sequence=Ins

Space stopped working in Shell completely, regardless of the command line contents.

I've removed the macro and restarted far but the space bar still not working.

Please check once again if macro is still in place. If you had several instances of far2l open, some of them could written key_macros.ini back on close.

I've checked from the terminal and it's definitely disabled:

❯ cat ~/.config/far2l/settings/key_macros.ini
   1 [KeyMacros/Common/CtrlShiftT]
   2 DisableOutput=0x1
   3 Sequence=Ins
   4
   5 ;[KeyMacros/Shell/Space]
   6 ;DisableOutput=0x1
   7 ;EmptyCommandLine=0x1
   8 ;NoFilePanels=0x0
   9 ;NoSendKeysToPlugins=0x1
  10 ;Sequence=Ins
  11
  12 [KeyMacros/Shell/CtrlShiftX]
  13 Sequence=Space

As you can see I now use a Ctrl-Shift-X macro to insert Space :D

Are you sure ; is accepted as comment mark by far2l? I am not

[berkus]

It is INI file, ; is a comment in ini file.

I tried removing the entire section out, but to the same effect.

[unxed]

try this:

1. close all far2l instances
2. rename ~/.config/far2l to something else
3. remove ~/.cache/far2l completely
4. start far2l
5. press space

this will help us to verify if it is some kind of settings problem or something else

[berkus]

I've tried slightly different approach:

1. I took a different machine, completely clean,
2. Installed far2l,
3. started it,
4. Space bar does NOT work by default at all.

[unxed]

Can you please publish far2l screen shot including window title

May be screenshot of far:about will be more informative?

May be screenshot of far:about will be more informative?

How to get there? The macOS menu does not have about item (it has no items at all), and the About FAR tab within the FAR help menu has no version info at all.

How to get there?

On the far2l command line type far:about and press Enter.
The menu containing various information should appear.

You can run it with logging enabled, it'll show smth. like:

08:26:10 PM: Debug: Unrecognised keycode 364
