Shortcut Manager not detecting the Inkscape window
vadichi opened this issue · 3 comments
I have downloaded the script and copied the config.py file from examples into ~/.conifg/inkscape-shortcut-manager.
However, when the shortcut manager is launched, it prints {'style': PosixPath('/home/...'), 'object': PosixPath('/home/...')} and then nothing happens. None of the shortcuts work In the Inscape window and no keystrokes are intercepted. I have tried running Inkscape both before and after starting the script.
It seems as though the script doesn't detect the window at all: an Inkscape window is never passed to the is_inkscape() function.
I have also tried installing urxvt according to the advice from another issue, this did not change anything. The issue seems to be identical to #25, but I'm using Linux.
I'm running Fedora 36 with Gnome 42. with Python 3.10.7, all dependencies are installed
I've investigated it a bit and it seems like this is caused by Inkscape itself not setting some window parameters properly - things like wmctrl, xlsclients, and xwininfo also can't see it.
@gillescastel, are you using an older version of Inkscape? Mine is 1.2.1 from the default Fedora RPM repo
Using the latest development version from the website also doesn't fix the problem
Same problem here, on Manjaro with Gnome 42.5 with Python 3.10.7.
wmctrl can not find Inkscape.
Solved — even though it seems to work with a lot of other applications under Wayland, it does not work with Inkscape.
Switching to Xorg solves the issue.
