Hi, when trying to apply a profile on a drawing tablet, key-mapper starts to make the tablet behave like a relative device. This should be changed in order to be able to use this software to remap buttons on a drawing tablet and its pencil. Thanks in advance.

I normally use the AUR package and input-remapper used to work as expected a few days ago. Then today I updated my Arch system and after a reboot, input-remapper didn't start at login and my keyboard layout is back to the default QWERTY. systemctl log is shown further below. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the AUR package and noticed these messages near the end:

[...]

[...]

They might have been there when I did the routine system upgrade earlier today as well but I didn't see it since paru (my AUR helper) didn't mention it at the end when it was done with the upgrades.

I tried installing from source using the setup.py but same issue.

edit by me, sezanzeb: removed information that was not needed

I've mapped some keys in your app, named, saved and applied the settings with autoload enabled, but after restarting Ubuntu the mapped keys stop working. key-mapper-autoload is enabled in the autostart settings of Ubuntu.

How to debug this?

I'm using v0.6.0 installed with .deb on Ubuntu 20.10 with Xorg.

Installed key-mapper-git from AUR. After setting it up and rebooting the mouse doesn't work. It starts working after couple of minutes but then the keyboard stops working. Uninstalling the package fixes the issue.

Both manjaro and endeavouros show this behavior. I am using KDE.

Attaching a journalctl log if that helps... eos-log-tool.log

• [x] show a multiline editor featuring a monospace font and line-numbers
• [x] figure out if the current syntax offers everything that is needed for a clean way to put this stuff into multiple lines
• [x] offer human-readable function names because now there is enough space for that
• [x] syntax highlighting
• [x] how is the editor opened? Is there a button in each line or is it mandatory to open the popup to configure anything?
• [x] comment support for macros
• [x] autocomplete for functions and keys

In the future the macro editor might get multiple tabs if plugins are to be configured for a certain button, becoming an advanced-editor instead.

I usually try to map mouse buttons to f13 -> f24 since they are pretty much unused, but using key_f13 does not provide a valid f13 for the games that normally accept f13 without problems (tried World of Warcraft and Minecraft).

I tried the same with key_f2 rather than the normal f2 mapping and it has the same issue. I'm not sure if mappings with "key_" are meant to be different, but they seem to be different at least for games.

So would it be possible to get similar mappings as f1 -> f12, for f13 -> f24 (aka where there isn't a "key_" prefix)?

Best regards, Mauritz

Hello, I want to bind Space+J=Left Space+K=Down Space+L=Right Space+I=Up but Space=Space So If I just press down Space and release it, it will send normal Spacebar key " " as expected. Is it possible with your tool?

New Features

• Multiple Trigger points for mapping EV_ABS or EV_REL to buttons
• Simultaneous mapping of EV_ABS or EV_REL to buttons and other analog axis
• All EV_ABS event codes can be mapped to axis and or buttons
  • No limitation for mapping only joystick to mouse or scroll wheel
• Individually (per mapping) configurable mapping parameters
  • trigger point, deadzone, gain, expo

Changes

1. replaced all Consumer classes with multiple MappingHandler classes
2. injecting release events to the forwarded UInput before combinations trigger
3. reworked macro if_singel to work with new injection architecture
4. renamed Mapping class to Preset
5. created new Mapping class responsible for mapping a event or event combination to an output action
6. moved multiple configuration classes to new configs directory
7. renamed ConsumerControl to EventReader
8. replaced all evdev.InputEvent objects with custom inputremapper.InputEvent objects
9. Replaced the Key class with a EventCombination class of type Tuple[InputEvent]

TODO

• [x] Integrate the new Mapping class into the Preset
• [x] Implement Setting for automatic key release see also #229
• [ ] make the Editor-Part of the GUI interact with the new Mapping instead of the Preset
• [ ] Patch the GUI to create Mapping objects for Joystick to Mouse
• [x] modify Injector._grab_device to purely rely on mappings, no longer use maps_joystick()
• [x] expose the Mapping in the preset files
• [x] rework the mapping_parser
• [x] migrations
• [x] make sure to release any keys, center any axis before stopping the injection
• [ ] Tests, Tests, Tests, Tests
• [ ] Update documentation

Future (probably not this PR)

• Update GUI To expose the new functionality
• Implement RelToAbsHandler
• Implement RelToRelHandler
• Implement AbsToAbsHandler
• Implement Offset for axis to axis handlers

Installation using deb fails with error code 0, installation using source code and setup.py install does work but the application doesn't launch. A question mark icon shows up on the taskbar for a few seconds before disappearing. Happened after I upgraded my python version from 3.8 to 3.10.

I am using EMV101 VR controller via bluetooth

The system sees the device as EGV101:

/dev/input/event23:	EGV101 Mouse
/dev/input/event24:	EGV101 Keyboard
/dev/input/event25:	EGV101 Consumer Control
/dev/input/event26:	EGV101

When I click 'click here' to pick up the button and then press some key on the controller I can see that it's picked by Gnome (audio is muted or volume is increased/decreased) but the button just flashes briefly. Here's an example:

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1406222/112552108-8cc7ac80-8dc2-11eb-9d67-94ab5bb07ff5.mp4

It all works fine when configuring my extra mouse buttons. As a workaround I used evtest with EGV101 Consumer Control and manually populated the .json file key-mapper is using. Injecting part of key-mapper then does it job.

Here's what evtest produces on a single press of a button:

Event: time 1616711773.811813, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value c00cd
Event: time 1616711773.811813, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 164 (KEY_PLAYPAUSE), value 1

Good day sir, I'm trying to set up a couple mouse buttons using a Logitech M705 mouse. In the Device drop down window I can choose Logitech M705. Left clicking under the Key column with button #2 I get BTN_MIDDLE and I can enter super_l in the mapping column. After saving and applying, I can press the middle button and the super_l is simulated which opens and closes the Activities Overview window perfectly. After pressing the Apply Defaults button and I press button 6 or 7 in the Key column nothing happens. If I execute the command 'xev' button 6 and 7 are recognized.

Looking forward to the feature of combining keys that you stated is getting close. I will be adding two modifiers and a key for button 6 and 7. Everything else is working fine. In fact using your program to simulate button 2 works exactly as if I was using the Super key. Xdotool and xte do not give me the same results pressing button #2

I'm running your software on a laptop that has POP_OS 20.04 installed. There will be some differences between button 2 and buttons 6 and 7. Using 'xev' when I press button 2 down I get one response and I get a second response when I release button 2. If I hold down button 6 or 7 down the buttons do a repeat until I release them.

I have not done anything to input-remapper-control but install it on by Debian Bookworm.

I'm getting the following warning when I list the systemd-udevd service. First I want to ask, is that a normal behaviour? If no, what can I do to get rid of the warning messages? I tried to search for solution but did not find any.

I did run some debugging to see if I notice something obvious but did not.

The udev service warnings:

I have side buttons on my mouse that I want to remap to a "custom button" so that I can choose what it does on a per app/game basis.

The side buttons get detected perfectly, I just want to know if I can map it to a button that doesn't technically exist or do anything, so I can set what it does in each game myself.

Please install the newest version from source to see if the problem has already been solved.

Share some logs please:

1. input-remapper-control --version (Answer: Latest Git Version)
2. If a button on your device doesn't show up in the GUI, verify that the button is reporting an event via sudo evtest. If not, input-remapper won't be able to map that button. (Answer: only shows up on when using a different profile)
3. If yes, please run input-remapper-gtk -d, reproduce the problem and then share the logs.

when i try to use mouse button 6 (Check image for better understanding) it doesn't get recognized by any software at all

I created a macro modify(Shift_L, wheel(down, 50)) when right click and wheel input to change the scroll direction horizontally, but it is not suppressing the right click input and it is frustrating that the menu is displayed.

9. Command not found

notify of CombinationHandler has a forward_release method, which iterates over keys_to_release and sends all of them into a single forward_to device

notify passes a single "forward" uinput down.

some of the events in keys_to_release originate from other devices though

I'm trying to add a property to the inputEvent that has a reference to the correct forwarding device
