Handle Keyboard layout changes

Open girst opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

When xcape gets run before the keyboard layout is set (e.g. autostart) or the user switches between layouts, xcape sends out the wrong keycodes.

Right now, as a workaround, I use

bash -c 'sleep 5 && xcape -e "Control_L=Escape;Shift_R=slash"'

Thanks, Tobias

I may be experiencing something similar. Xcape works fine on my laptop. I connect my bluetooth keyboard and it continues to work fine for that keyboard. Then I disconnect it and Xcape seems to either have no effect, or only if I hit the control key several times... not sure if consistent.
