CopyQ icon indicating copy to clipboard operation

"Open windows on current screen" does not appear to work on Linux + i3 wm

Open matejdro opened this issue 3 years ago • 32 comments

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open CopyQ on left screen (via copyq toggle)
  2. Close CopyQ window
  3. Move focus to the right screen
  4. Open CopyQ again

Expected behavior

CopyQ should have opened on the right monitor that is currently focused.

Actual behavior

CopyQ opens on the same position that I closed it at, which means it opens on the left monitor.

Interestingly enough, it actually opens on the right monitor for a split second and then moves back to its previous position.

Version, OS and Environment (Get details from copyq version command if possible.)

CopyQ Clipboard Manager 6.0.1
Qt: 5.15.2
KNotifications: 5.89.0
Compiler: GCC
Arch: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
OS: Manjaro Linux
  • Desktop environment, window manager: i3 4.20.1

Can you start CopyQ with env COPYQ_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG copyq and share the logs (you can retrieve them with copyq logs or F12 shortcut from the main window)?

I've set CTRL+E for under mouse cursor.

@afro-coder Looks like you trigger "Show main window under mouse cursor" command which does not depend on the option "Open windows on current screen" but always opens main window under mouse pointer. Try assigning shortcut to "Show/hide main window" command instead.

hluk avatar Jan 25 '22 15:01 hluk

I've set that option to CTRL+~ same issue :( see I tried with both now

When I open CopyQ, these two lines are printed in debug mode:

Can you post a video or detailed steps to reproduce?

hluk avatar Jan 26 '22 06:01 hluk

Here are my steps:

  1. Start copyq daemon and keep it running in a terminal somewhere
  2. Open CopyQ (via copyq toggle command)
  3. Move it to the left monitor manually
  4. Close CopyQ window
  5. Move focus (either via mouse or via keyboard) to the right monitor
  6. Open CopyQ again (via copyq toggle command)
  7. Copy Q will open wherever I left it on the left monitor, it will not move to the right monitor that is now focused.

matejdro avatar Jan 26 '22 07:01 matejdro

Here are my steps:

1. Start  `copyq` daemon and keep it running in a terminal somewhere

2. Open CopyQ (via `copyq toggle` command)

3. Move it to the left monitor manually

4. Close CopyQ window

5. Move focus (either via mouse or via keyboard) to the right monitor

6. Open CopyQ again (via `copyq toggle` command)

7. Copy Q will open wherever I left it on the left monitor, it will not move to the right monitor that is now focused.

I think this is expected. Why move the window to left monitor (step number 3)? In such case, CopyQ would later expect that the window should open on the left monitor when the show action is triggered from the right one.

hluk avatar Jan 26 '22 11:01 hluk

This also happens with step 3 left out (if CopyQ starts at the left monitor). I wanted to include that because you wanted more detailed description.

Also, I might want to move CopyQ temporarily sometimes (maybe to see what is behind it). That should not save its position permanently.

matejdro avatar Jan 27 '22 05:01 matejdro

This used to work and it really helps when you have 2 monitors.

New to the whole screen rec let me know if the quality isn't good. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8469842/151310301-14d24397-112d-40b5-a85b-17747c3377d6.mp4

Thanks for sharing the recording.

The logs say New geometry... which indicates no previous window geometry has ever been stored. In such case it will reuse last known geometry.

Can you move the window manually (drag with mouse) to the correct workspace? Logs should say Save geometry... after it is moved and the window should open on given position next time.

hluk avatar Jan 28 '22 07:01 hluk

I can do that by moving the clipboard, but it doesn't seem to remember the new position that is the mouse cursor DEBUG: Executing: Command "Show main window under mouse cursor", this just moves it back to the last known location

Oh, the geometry won't be stored when the window is moved if it has been opened with "Show main window under mouse cursor" command.

The behavior is quite complex but I was expecting users to use either one of the Show commands exclusively. :)

The workaround would be:

  1. Trigger "Show/hide main window" command.
  2. Move window to desired position on the current screen.

At this point the geometry would be saved and when you trigger the command again on the same screen it would reappear with this last set position (which would be different from "Show main window under mouse cursor" position from now onward).

hluk avatar Jan 28 '22 15:01 hluk

Here is my recording. Left two terminals are on the left monitor, rightmost terminal is on the right monitor.

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/507922/151689945-b1573185-b77c-4494-9125-d494384c9692.mp4

You can see logs on the leftmost terminal. I close copyQ with escape key (and I don't move the window around at all).

oh alright, no worries but then can you please let me know what the shortcut " Open window under mouse cursor" is actually doing? I'm using two different commands moving the clipboard across screens seems a bit weird is there any way we can help with this, like the use case is when I'm working on screen 1 I open the clipboard there but when I need it on screen 2 it pulls my mouse cursor back to screen 1

afro-coder avatar Feb 08 '22 05:02 afro-coder

oh alright, no worries but then can you please let me know what the shortcut " Open window under mouse cursor" is actually doing?

"Show main window under mouse cursor" opens main window under mouse pointer but blocks storing window geometry until the window is closed.

I checked both recordings with the logs again, and it seems that i3 is ignoring further window positions set by the app and just opens the window on its initial position (or last position set manually).

Can you test copyq showAt 0 0 vs copyq showAt 500 500? Do they show main window on different positions (indicated by command line arguments)?

Can you also disable "Open windows on current screen" option (in General config tab) to see if it changes anything?

hluk avatar Feb 09 '22 17:02 hluk

BTW, if anyone is interested, the code that does most of the geometry restoring magic is here: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/blob/ff4f670588df9ae15bd6d86c3f49cdd28aea5cd8/src/common/config.cpp#L228-L268

hluk avatar Feb 09 '22 17:02 hluk

So in the end I tested couple of things under i3 and the best behavior was to increase delay before restoring geometry, here: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/blob/ff4f670588df9ae15bd6d86c3f49cdd28aea5cd8/src/gui/windowgeometryguard.cpp#L90

Unfortunately, depending on the delay, the window visibly jumps from the position restored by i3.

I wonder if there is a simple way to destroy the old window and create it again (if Qt framework supports this).

hluk avatar Feb 09 '22 19:02 hluk

BTW, workaround to disable the geometry restoring and leave it to window manager is to use the following command and restart the app:

copyq config restore_geometry false

hluk avatar Feb 09 '22 20:02 hluk

I can confirm, this config workaround works!

matejdro avatar Feb 10 '22 06:02 matejdro

Sadly this didn't work for me no clue I'm also on i3wm @hluk did this work on i3 for you? if so maybe something is wrong with my system :(

afro-coder avatar Feb 10 '22 07:02 afro-coder

Can you test copyq showAt 0 0 vs copyq showAt 500 500? Do they show main window on different positions (indicated by command line arguments)?

Opens at the same position

afro-coder avatar Feb 10 '22 07:02 afro-coder

Sadly this didn't work for me no clue I'm also on i3wm @hluk did this work on i3 for you? if so maybe something is wrong with my system :(

The command only disables the geometry restoring on application side - i3 would still set the position. Using "Show main window under mouse cursor" probably won't work if the showAt commands do not work.

hluk avatar Feb 10 '22 13:02 hluk

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier. This is how it works for me now.

Disable the Shortcuts from copyq prefs.

In i3wm config

bindsym ctrl+e exec copyq toggle

I appreciate work being done on this..

sahilrajput03 avatar Apr 16 '22 18:04 sahilrajput03

Hey @sahilrajput03, can you please post the debug mode output? Also, what doesn't work?

Can you start CopyQ with env COPYQ_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG copyq and share the logs (you can retrieve them with copyq logs or F12 shortcut from the main window)?

Also, try disabling the shortcut from within the application

afro-coder avatar Apr 16 '22 18:04 afro-coder

@afro-coder image

It looks like this!
