kupferlauncher / keybinder Goto Github PK

Hi there.
I made my app which uses this package and it worked fine in Cinnamon. But I recently shifted to GNOME 3 and whatever key I try to bind, it simply tells me "Binding <my key> failed". I thought that this issue was with my app and so used the example provided by this repository and it also gives me the same error.
Using : Python 3
Keybinder : 3.0
OS : Debian Buster

• It works fine if I use GNOME Classic and Cinnamon instead of GNOME 3

Hi there,
I've been using keybinder3 with gir bindings for a while. Now I'm looking for a way to make it work in Wayland session. After doing some research I found this:

GTK3 + gir bindings - works in X session, doesn't work in Wayland
GTK2 + python-keybinder lib - works in X and Wayland session

Can someone explain this behavior please?

Thanks.

Hi,

Using keybinder as part of https://github.com/Guake/guake and ran into an issue where I cannot bind T. Guake/guake#759

Looking for any noob assistance in debugging this. I write PHP/JS but this is deeper than I know how to debug right now. Any guidance appreciated.

I downloaded the example at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/engla/keybinder/master/examples/example.py and it worked with the <Ctrl>A shortcut by default. I changed it to <Shift><Alt>T and it stopped working so it appears something is funky with my keybinder.

I know this is very late and the last release was a year ago, but when I download the tarball for the latest release from github, I get:
keybinder-keybinder-3.0-v0.3.2.tar.gz
when I think is should be simply:
keybinder-0.3.2.tar.gz

The tarball also extracts to the directory keybinder-keybinder-3.0-v0.3.2 and this is confusing.

As a new user of python and github I am frustrated that there is no instructions in the readme on how to actually install keybinder. I can download it, I can even clone it, but I just want to install it on my Mac - help. Please, just show me the explicit command to run. Thanks.

Test code

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '4.0')
gi.require_version('Keybinder', '3.0')

from gi.repository import Gtk
from gi.repository import Keybinder

def callback(keystr, user_data):
	print( "Handling", keystr, user_data)
	print( "Event time:", Keybinder.get_current_event_time())
	Gtk.main_quit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
	keystr = "<Ctrl>A"
	Keybinder.init()
	Keybinder.bind(keystr, callback, "Keystring %s (user data)" % keystr)
	print( "Press", keystr, "to handle keybinding and quit")
	Gtk.main()

I have issues building the python2 version of keybinder on fedora.
It fails with the following build error:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1463339

Thanks a lot!

Trying to bind KP_5 does nothing. Applications get KP_5 normally, and the keybinder callback is not invoked.

Strangely, KP_Begin (same physical key as KP_5) works, but only if numlock is off. If numlock is on, KP_5 doesn't work anywhere (I suppose libkeybinder grabs the key, but ignores it).

Gimp can bind KP_5 (as application specific key bind and not as a global one, of course). If Gimp really uses gtk_accelerator_parse() as I'd expect, it means the string is correct. (You never know, because it's so badly documented. Always a waste of time trying to find out what a key binds to.)

How do I build the GTK3 version? configure shows it building for GTK2 and I don't see any configure options for GTK version.

Thanks.

How do I build this library for GTK3? Is there a configure option? With the default options it seems to only have built the GTK2 version of the library.

version 0.3.2

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gtk-doc
make

results in:

warning: failed to load external entity "../xml/tree_index.sgml"
../keybinder-docs.sgml:26: element include: XInclude error : could not load ../xml/tree_index.sgml, and no fallback was found
make[1]: *** [Makefile:730: html-build.stamp] Error 6
make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/libkeybinder3/src/keybinder-3.0-0.3.2/docs'

Where are those SGML file supposed to come from?

Let it render in markdown, you've already done the markdown formatting work.
