Leaving context

[Anntoin]

Not entirely sure if this is a bug or just something wrong in the config (or my environment).

I've set up an abstract command launch_terminal and it's working in general running different commands in different contexts. However, it doesn't leave the context for Tmux when I navigate to an empty workspace in sway and as a result it seems to stop working (but is actually still just executing commands in Tmux). Moving over any other window sets the active contexts as expected.

Any suggestions?

Here's the config in question:

# Matchers
Tmux    = /^tmux/
Zed       = "dev.zed.Zed"

# Abstract commands
AltLeft{Escape} >> launch_terminal

[default]
launch_terminal >> $(foot) ^

[class = Zed]
launch_terminal >> Control{Backquote}

[title = Tmux]
launch_terminal >> $(tmux new-window) ^

I'm still happy with X11 so can't provide much help but I would suggest adding ContextActive logging to see whether the contexts get activated or not. If needed you can find examples from my config linked in the README.md. The relevant parts can be found in the linked main config and the include/utils.conf files.

Thanks for the tip :) I've added the following and can see the context 'key' be triggered and released now.

DefaultContext = Virtual100
ZedContext = Virtual101
TmuxContext = Virtual102

[default]
ContextActive   >> DefaultContext ^ !DefaultContext

[class = Zed]
ContextActive   >> ZedContext ^ !ZedContext

[title = Tmux]
ContextActive   >> TmuxContext ^ !TmuxContext

Can see now from the logs that the previous context does not get 'released' when the window loses focus, i.e. navigating to an empty workspace; only when another window is focused. Also a little unexpectedly I don't see any logs for default being activated/deactivated. I guess this is just a special case where it's the absence of any other context.

Now I don't know if this issue is down to Sway not sending the appropriate signal or Keymapper just not catching it. I'm new to Wayland too so don't know what the mechanism is.

lol, I just went to start looking at the code to see if I could figure out what was going on and I've been beaten to it! 3d09c01

Is working a treat now with that fix. Much appreciated @houmain
