Window needs to be focused to get input on hyprland

Closed this issue 4 months ago · 3 comments

I use arch linux with the hyprland window manager. wayland-getevents works as intended and it can capture keystrokes and forward them to xtmapper. but only when the wayland-getevents is focused.
wayland apparently does not allow apps to read keystrokes from other applications.
so do you guys have a fix for this or should i just cope

As mentioned in the README using cage is being tried as a possible solution, you can test it. Hopefully it becomes more convenient to use.

New cage_xtmapper.sh script should make it easier.
