Wrong behaviour on the non-english keyboard layout

XF86AudioLowerVolume
    ~/scripts/volume-down.sh

super + F11
    ~/scripts/volume-down.sh

I have these two hotkeys in my config file. On English keyboard layout, I can press Super and press and HOLD F11 key so my volume changes until I release the F11 key. But on Russian layout, the key repeat doesn't work: I have to tap the F11 key a lot. It's strange, but XF86AudioLowerVolume (Fn key + F11) works great on both layouts.

Have you tried -m -1?

Yes, this didn't help.

Can confirm there's something wonky with different keyboard layouts. I'm using Swedish as default, but when switching over to English layout, some keybindings don't work. Can't say for sure, but it seems the only keybindings that don't work are the mouse buttons. (Default mouse bindings for bspwm)

I also tried with -m -1 to no avail.

It doesn't matter if I restart sxhkd with the English layout activated, the mouse bindings still only work in Swedish layout.

I'm also having similar issues in the dvorak keyboard layout.

The -m -1 works perfectly for me, running in arch linux using a dvorak layout.

-m -1 also worked for me (arch, dvorak, bspwm)

Hi, this is still a problem for me. I'm using the layouts it, us and us:colemak with options terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp compose:rctrl grp:menu_toggle. The argument -m -1 did not solve the issue.
