Logitech mouse buttons 6 and 7 #12

Good day sir,
I'm trying to set up a couple mouse buttons using a Logitech M705 mouse. In the Device drop down window I can choose Logitech M705. Left clicking under the Key column with button #2 I get BTN_MIDDLE and I can enter super_l in the mapping column. After saving and applying, I can press the middle button and the super_l is simulated which opens and closes the Activities Overview window perfectly. After pressing the Apply Defaults button and I press button 6 or 7 in the Key column nothing happens. If I execute the command 'xev' button 6 and 7 are recognized.

Looking forward to the feature of combining keys that you stated is getting close. I will be adding two modifiers and a key for button 6 and 7. Everything else is working fine. In fact using your program to simulate button 2 works exactly as if I was using the Super key. Xdotool and xte do not give me the same results pressing button #2

I'm running your software on a laptop that has POP_OS 20.04 installed. There will be some differences between button 2 and buttons 6 and 7. Using 'xev' when I press button 2 down I get one response and I get a second response when I release button 2. If I hold down button 6 or 7 down the buttons do a repeat until I release them.

Hi, thanks for posting an issue!

First, please install the latest source. Afterwards, can you run sudo key-mapper-gtk -d and try to set your buttons 6 and 7 to something? Post the output here.

Key Mapper_007

I mean using the instructions here: https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper#ubuntudebian, involving the git clone

Since I can't see button 6 and 7 in the log, lets go one level deeper and use evtest

run sudo evtest and send me the events caused by your two buttons please (after clicking the defaults button)

I think you copied some sort of previous console output into your terminal

And it seems you didn't execute sudo dpkg -i ./dist/key-mapper-0.4.0.deb

Don't worry!

Copying the instructions line by line, executing each one individually, is the safest way. Copying and pasting multiple at once sometimes doesn't work if one of the commands suddenly expects input.

I just filtered the input from mouse-movement events, and this is what is left over:

Event: time 1609522127.108917, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1609522127.108917, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1
Event: time 1609522127.300908, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1609522127.300908, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0
Event: time 1609522154.899485, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1609522154.899485, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1
Event: time 1609522155.077489, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1609522155.077489, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0

So evtest doesn't report mouse 6 and 7. I don't know how xev would be able to detect anything in that case.

Did you make sure to use "Restore Defaults" before running evtest? Or was an injection ongoing?

*ah, injection couldn't be active, it would be visible in evtest.

So your mouse buttons don't do anything. Are you sure they are visible in xev?

please run xev | grep button -B2 and try again (EDIT: forget about that, that doesn't show what I thought it shows)

it's probably

Event: time 1609522136.349847, type 2 (EV_REL), code 6 (REL_HWHEEL), value -1
Event: time 1609522136.349847, type 2 (EV_REL), code 12 (REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES), value -120

then. very interesting. key-mapper can't map that yet indeed. I'm currently working on something somewhat similar with gamepad joysticks, I'll probably include a way to map scroll wheel actions

The difficulty is, that mice don't report end events for that. So I'll have to detect the end of that myself. Some experimental stuff exists but I need to think about it for some more time. I also think I need a break after working almost non-stop on key-mapper in my free time for over two months.

Ah, I forgot to mention, the git clone command changes if you want to clone a different branch to:

git clone -b wheel-attempt-2 https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper.git

Same here on a Logitech M590.

$ xev | grep button
    state 0x0, button 6, same_screen YES
    state 0x0, button 6, same_screen YES
    state 0x0, button 7, same_screen YES
    state 0x0, button 7, same_screen YES

@sojusnik please try this branch: git clone -b wheel-attempt-2 https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper.git

nobody gave me feedback yet if it works properly, the feature is basically finished and has unittests. Which distro are you on?

  • For ubuntu: build the deb file
  • For manjaro: try cd key-mapper && sudo pip install .

You'll know if you installed it correctly if "shift + del" activates the "restore defaults" button, because that is also new.

For ubuntu: build the deb file

What's the correct way to "build" a .deb file on Ubuntu?

I'm currently using the 0.5.0.deb from here.
Do I have to uninstall this .deb file, before building the updated .deb?

no, just build it and install it

I'll make release 0.6.0 possibly next weekend, you'll also get the deb from there
