Issue / Question - keyd mapping does not take effect on Dell laptop

Open moustaleurie opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

Hello everybody, I found keyd earlier this year and I was able to finally install it after Debian Trixie release. I am very satisfied with keyd on my home computer and made my writing experience far better and quicker. So I decided to upgrade my laptop to Debian Trixie and install keyd there as well. Unfortunately, despite the fact that I used the same steps to configure it and also copied my configuration file, keyd service seems to be working but new mapping does not take effect for my laptop's keyboard. I use a Dell latitude 7480. Below you can see my default.conf file.

Do you have any ideas why this is happening?

[ids]
* # applies to all keyboards

[main]
capslock = layer(nav)  # tap to toggle navigation layer

[nav]
# Basic arrow navigation
h = left
j = down
k = up
l = right
u = home
o = end
rightbrace = pageup
backslash = pagedown

# Word-based navigation
t = C-right   # jump forward by word
r = C-left    # jump back by word

# Word Selection
g = C-S-left       # select previous word
f = C-S-right      # select next word

backspace = delete
space = compose # menu key to chose correction on misspelled words 

Thank you in advance

Thank you so much, I must have added the comments to my notes markdown after I copied my configuration file from my home computer! Now it works ! Damn, I feel stupid, hahaha. Thanks again!
