Allow passing modifier keys on full screen

Open jcalonso opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Hi,

Is it possible to pass all keystrokes when working on full screen to the server? Example, pressing my $mod + a number takes me to another workspace, currently it will change the workspace in my client, but I would like to be able to do the same on the server when using full screen. I hope that make sense.

Is this something not supported yet? or something I can configure somehow?

Thanks!

I second that, wlvncc is basically unusable for me when it comes to actual remote vnc unless I configure the remote to have different keybindings, I was looking into capturing compositor shortcuts and while I have not been able to intigrate this, I have found the Keyboard Shortcuts Inhibit protocol

edit: seams somebody has already done that in a pr, but it is happens to break the scalling for the wlvncc view for me

Feel free to finish #5. The original author has abandoned it.

@any1 I just reimplented #5 in the up to date version of wlvncc, works great for me so far!, the scalling issue fixed, do you know if there was any reason for the pr being abandoned?

I'd love to see this finished but I don't have the time (and likely skills; I'd have to take a deeper look) to contribute it; would anybody be interested in picking this up for a bounty if that model is of interest to the community?

This feature is a must-have for wlvncc to be my daily driver :)

I'd really like to see this merged too! I just tried @Im-0xea 's fork and it works great! :+1: Could we do a new PR?

I wanted to bump this as it'd be great to use wlvncc in this manner.
