Issues with symbols `{` on linux Ubuntu.
Closed this issue · 10 comments
When inputting TPR-BGT i get 7 instead of { that is \{{^} gives an incorrect output. Similar issues happen with other symbols.
- OS: Ubuntu 21.10
- Plover Version 4.0.0
Try restarting Plover to see if it helps. (if it does, it's #1164)
Resolved by running:
./plover.AppImage -s plover_plugins install -v 'PyQt5==5.14.2' 'PyQt5-sip==12.7.2'
Please provide more information: what version of Plover are you using exactly? Does the incorrect output happen in all applications? I don't see how (possibly) downgrading PyQt5 is relevant, unless maybe if the issue happens only within the Plover GUI text fields.
Hmm, seems like it just worked for a second, might be missing something in my path. I am using plover-4.0.0.dev10-x86_64.AppImage. I can only get Plover to work when writing in emacs, where the issue happens. Everywhere else it just types as normal.
What layout do you use? Do you use ibus? xmodmap? How are 7 and { mapped on your keyboard layout?
I use the default layout (from QMK) on a crkbd, however the issue happens on two different ubuntu machines, even using the onboard keyboard with english:us keyboard layout and no keyboards pluged in. It seems like the input in different windows works if I use Xorg instead of wayland, however it still gives 7 instead of {. I think i am using ibus.
Seems to be an issue with a missing modifier key, tried printing the mapping and got:
keysym_to_string 55
is_latin1 55
chr 7
16:0=37[7]
keysym_to_string 47
is_latin1 47
chr /
16:1=2f[/]
keysym_to_string 123
is_latin1 123
chr {
16:80=7b[{]
So when you send 123 it should add the 80 modifier?
The issue seems to be that my default layout is danish, which it knows is the AltGr + 7 key combination on the keyboard, however when I have english keyboard active this combo just results in 7. So it only works when I use the default keyboard layout.
@benoit-pierre hope this helps.
Looks like a duplicate of #650.
For Wayland, assuming you're using a compatible config, you can check this branch (see discussion).
