#59 Shift key handling on non US keyboard 1 year, 9 months ago

Ticket created by ~dinkocar on ~mil/mepo-tickets

I am using Manjaro linux on desktop with default config. This is tested on amd64 with HR keyboard, and arm64 with GB keyboard. When shift key is pressed as modifier, every key is handled twice. For instance pressing "l" moves map to the right by 10 (as is in default config), but pressing "shift+l" moves map to the right by 100 twice . Also when moving through pins, pressing "n" moves to the next pin, but pressing "shift+n" goes +2 pins and ceneter on it. And it is like that for every key modified by shift. Funny thing is that this behavior can be turned off by pressing "num" key on numeric keyboard (irrelevant if it was on or off when mepo started) and then all "shift+key" work as expected, but then "ctrl+c" can not quit from application. One weird thing is when I press "shift+0" it does two things, moves pin to group 9 and also zooms in (shift+0 is = on HR keyboard), so it looks like it does both keyboard shortcuts "shift+0" from US keyboard and "=" from HR keyboard.

#339 SWMO - Wayland Version of SXMO 3 years ago

Comment by ~dinkocar on ~mil/sxmo-tickets

Hi! I have to say I am impressed with swmo and the performance compared to sxmo. I am not using my pinephone on daily bases, so I don't have many observations, but here are some things that I have noticed about surf:

  1. Surf does not work when switching from x11 to wayland. It has to be started with GDK_BACKEND=x11 and the it works again.
  2. Surf context menu does not work. Reason: in sxmo_wm.sh app_id is read from app_id json parameter, which is null in this case. Solution: read app_id from window_properties.instance.

I support the decisions to switch to wayland in 1.6. Great work, thank you all.

Interesting. I did not know that when using volume buttons sxmo_screenlock is used without command line parameters. I am using hotcorners for locking, so I always have command line parameters :) and it saves the buttons.

I must say I am looking forward to this next release. I see a lot of work done on phone answering, sms problem with international characters is fixed (when new modemmonitor gets merged), and hardware button hooks added. It is really looking great.

But back on topic. If I got it right, when call is incoming, and screen is locked, phone will be unlocked (screen on) only when moved (picked up). But then it is missing my basic use case for incoming call, which is: phone on table, face up. Call comes in, and I just glance at it quickly without picking it up (especially if my hands are dirty) and decide weather to answer right away or call back later. I would suggest to unlock it only based on proximity sensor, and if call is not answered to put it back to sleep, crust or display only based on previous state. And you can get previous state from sxmo_screenlock command line parameter, as you are already checking for sxmo_screenlock to see if it is locked. SCREENLOCKARG=$(ps | grep sxmo_screenlock | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $5 }') Of course if call is answered, screen is not locked after the call.

Actually, I was also thinking about implementing call menu in dmenu (in fact just today). And here are some ideas that I had, I don't know how feasible it is. First problem which is obvious is what if dmenu is already opened when call comes in. If you kill existing dmenu, you have to be sure that the script which has started it will behave in predictable manner, which basically means that it has to close, without doing anything. If the script is poorly written it can actually execute some action, which can then interfere with the call, or do something unexpected. So the idea that I had, which would be least intrusive, and I had inspiration in i3, which I use daily (I have dwm only on pinephone) is to open new workspace (I don't know if dwm calls it workspace, but the thing which is numbered with numbers 1,2,3,4), maybe give it the name "Call" (i3 can give names to workspaces, not only numbers) and open dmenu for call there. After call ends this new workspace is closed, as it will be empty. And user can switch between "Call" workspace and any other workspace during call, if needed. Open questions for me in this scenario are (I haven't investigated, so I don't know):

  1. can dwm open new workspace, which is not configured during compile time (can it have name or only number, this is not very important)
  2. can dmenu be opened twice (if it is already opened by user before call, you don't need to close it in this case).

So, these are just some preliminary ideas which I had, maybe they can be of some use :)

Most of the upper config is combination of sxmo default config and manjaro i3 linux config.

And this needs to be added to xinit hook:


# Start compositor picom
picom -b

# Set a pretty wallpaper
feh --bg-fill /usr/share/sxmo/background.jpg

# Start Conky
conky -c $HOME/.config/sxmo/conky24h.conf -d

After restart 3d compositing should be working, and you will have shadows below your dmenus, giving cool 3d efect (you can play with settings and have stronger shadows if you want). The only drawback which I found is that Firefox scrolling is a little les responsive, but still completely usable.

I agree. That is why I have implemented some automation during ringing. I will paste my ring, pickup and lisgdstart scripts here just as an idea. So, what it does is, when call is incoming, first it checks if phone is locked and then it checks proximity sensor. If there is nothing close to phone (screen is uncovered and phone is not in pocket or in a bag) screen is unlocked and turned on, and lisgd is restarted with special configuration for answering the phone (two fingers swipe up answers, two fingers swipe down rejects). After call is answered or rejected lisgd is restarted in normal mode. If call is missed, screen is returned in previous state (locked if it was locked, crust if it was in crust). Also during call proximity sensor is checked and when something is close (phone near ear) display is locked and off, and when proximity sensor is uncovered (user looking in screen), display is unlocked, turned on, and audio is routed to speaker. Also I am using mpv with ipc-server enabled, for ringing, because I am also using mpv for streaming internet radio, so this way, when I am listening to radio, and call comes in, radio is stopped and ringing starts. It can be used for any media actually, but currently I don't use any other media. Anyway, you can use this as starting point :) I have made only basic testing, so some bugs are expected. Also this implementation does not cover call waiting, and I have never tested what will happen if calls comes when one call is already in progress.
