Hello, my regular keyboard layout is be-latin1, and I quite often switch to fr or us or even sometime dvorak
The problem is that sxhkd uses keysym. It's way easier to configure, but this cause a lot of problems.
For instance, the way I navigate between my window in bspwm is like this :
super + {_,shift + }{ampersand,eacute,quotedbl,apostrophe,parenleft,section,egrave,exclam,ccedilla,agrave}
bspc {desktop -f,node -d} ^{1-9,10}
and if I'm using us I have to
super + {_,shift + }{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}
bspc {desktop -f,node -d} ^{1-9,10}
And when using fr layout it's quite similar to be-latin1 layout but with some clash so I can't even just register all of them.
I currently have multiple configuration that I interchange whenever I switch keyboard layout. I'm doing this since I started using sxhkd (about 6 years now). And I wonder if this could be "fixed" somehow.
Here are my suggestions on solving this.
Ignore me and I have to script my way throught it. This is a good gatekeeping to avoid new users 👍
make a prefix that would allow keycode instead of keysym (for instance $49 would be the key with code 49 (ampersand if i'm not mistaken)
Add a command option that would "force" the keyboard layout. This way you can use only the US config file and use it anywhere with sxhkd -l us
These are ranked by difficulty of implementation, I think.
I have seen the -m 1 but I don't think it does what I want. This is quite unclear to be honest. My typical setup is I have a laptop setup with a us keyboard and if I want to work a lot I will get my wireless keyboard which is a be-latin1 and is more comfortable. If I connect it mid use it works well, but if I log into my computer with that new keyboard, everything seems to be broken...
