mps: hey, you can configure all XKB parameters by setting the corresponding environment variables before launching wayback.
<PaulFertser>
mps: xmodmap isn't the right tool even for regular Xorg, it's using old protocol essentially via an emulation layer to configure Xkb, better configure XKB directly.
<mps>
PaulFertser: I looked earlier at this but it looks unnecessary overcomplicated to me
<PaulFertser>
mps: Xkb? Well, it is complicated but it is what it is, the only system used by Xorg and libinput (used by Wayland compositors for input).
<PaulFertser>
mps: what kind of customisations do you need from keyboard input system?
<PaulFertser>
Probably theree's an existing Xkb option for that already.
<mps>
PaulFertser: map caps lock to ctrl and left ctrl to super lest
<PaulFertser>
mps: I see, makes sense. It is more complicated than xmodmap but xmodmap was designed in simpler times and these days it's an emulation layer that (imperfectly) translates between xmodmap and xkb for Xorg.
<mps>
I managed to make this with sway
<mps>
for me easier will be to patch kernel
<PaulFertser>
Haha, you mean patch evdev to report fake keys? Interesting idea.
<mps>
yes :)
<PaulFertser>
mps: oh, so with sway it works for you without xmodmap, then it should be possible with waydroid too, how did you do that with sway?
<PaulFertser>
Or was it on sway level?
<mps>
in sway config 'exec xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap.m1'
<PaulFertser>
You can use options "ctrl:swap_lwin_lctl caps:ctrl_modifier" then your left Control key will be Super_L and your capslock with be Control modifier.
<PaulFertser>
Hm, but wouldn't that xmodmap affect just the XWayland instance and so just the X11 clients running in that wayland session?
<mps>
my try is 'setxkbmap -model hhk -option "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt,grp:shift_caps_toggle,lv3:switch" "us,rs"
<PaulFertser>
If that works in Xorg then it should work the same with Waydroid if you set XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL/OPTIONS/LAYOUT env variables before starting it.
<mps>
PaulFertser: by 'Waydroid' you mean wayback?
<PaulFertser>
Yeah, sorry
<PaulFertser>
Lost my ways
<mps>
maybe it will but I have another issue which loads its problems, using kbdd to switch keymap by window in awesomewm
<PaulFertser>
Oh yeah :/
<mps>
PaulFertser: ok, thanks for help and ideas, I will see what I can do
