alt+shift keychords not handled correctly

[romgrk]

Mappings with <A-S-x> don't work.

What is your keyboard layout? The equivalent to that in macOS (shift-option-x) seems to work.

[romgrk]

Qwerty, en_US, on Linux.

@romgrk Would you be able to try out latest master and see if this is still a problem? I'm not sure, but #124 might have resolved this issue.

[romgrk]

On master at 0.28, alt and alt+shift keychords don't seem to work out of the box.

@romgrk would you be able to check out this branch, run npm ci && npm run dev, and paste the output from the terminal when you type alt+shift+x, alt+x, etc.? That should provide a (hopefully useful) log of what uivonim's receiving when you press those key sequences (and thus what it's sending to neovim).

I would test it myself but unfortunately I don't really have a machine I can test this on atm.

[romgrk]

Pressing any keyboard shortcut with starting with alt- doesn't produce any output in the console. But the rest works as expected. Alt keys might be being eaten by electron & the alt menu, I think I saw some issues about that back then, not sure what's the status on that.

[smolck]

Oh, I see. electron/electron#28088 looks to be the issue? Maybe this could be hack-fixed within uivonim, but I’m not sure, need to look into it. Ideally that’ll just be fixed soon, and then no need to change anything in uivonim, but I’m not sure if it’s even being worked on atm unfortunately.

[romgrk]

It's definitely possible to fix it though, VSCode's keybindings with alt- do work.

So I tested this in an Ubuntu VM (with the mappings nnoremap <a-s-f> :echo 'hi'<cr> and nnoremap <a-f> :echo'hi'<cr>) and it seemed to fix the issue, mind giving it a shot @romgrk? ffaf90b

[romgrk]

It works <:=]
