Trigger a key combo on Presses, not after Presses+Release
https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/discussions/1072 I had a conversation on discord claiming that his similar setup work as it trigger immediately after presses. So I wonder if there is something wrong with my setup here.
Sorry if it's duplicate issue, I cant find similar issue with my wording.
When mapping, for example, the "a" key as input to "b" as output, then the "b" will appear once "a" is pressed down.
If this doesn't behave this way for you, then there is something (maybe input-remapper, maybe something else) broken on your system. The screenshot in https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/discussions/1072 looks fine.
I have never observed the behavior that you described on my systems.
Hm... To figure that one out, you'll have to play around with the bebug logs of sudo pkill -f input-remapper && sudo input-remapper-reader-service -d and sudo evtest. There is the possibility that it's just somehow broken due to peculiarities of your linux distro.

Hello, Thanks for replying, even though you not actively maintaining this repo anymore:)
As you already say, this is only ME problem, I ask another person with the same setup and their behaviour is normal (which is like you said, when "a" is press "b" will appear). Mine was "a" press + released, only then "b" appear.

Here is my log, and I think this looks pretty normal. and my sudo evtest:
Event: time 1741318543.509003, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90005 Event: time 1741318543.509003, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 276 (BTN_EXTRA), value 1 Event: time 1741318543.509003, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1741318543.516882, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90005 Event: time 1741318543.516882, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 276 (BTN_EXTRA), value 0
This is what I suspected: when I press evtest wasnt give me type 1 (EV_KEY), code 276 (BTN_EXTRA), value 1 at all. It wait until I released the button only then it pop up both press+release event: type 1 (EV_KEY), code 276 (BTN_EXTRA), value 1 and type 1 (EV_KEY), code 276 (BTN_EXTRA), value 0
My left and right key behave normally tho:

press and release in this case show up seperately
Hope my words isnt too confusing. Thank you
