Some media keys don't work #7160

umbernhard · 2022-09-04T18:24:40Z

Sway version 1.7
Debug Log
Configuration File:
- repros with the default configuration file and a config with a binding like bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec brillo -U 10
Description:
- Some of my media keys are on a separated 0:6:Video_Bus device
- Specifically, the keys to control the brightness are not functional. They do not show up in wev or evtest (even with --grab specified)
- The physical keys work just fine, as their regular function key mappings show up
- According to the sway debug log, all keyboard devices are assigned to the same group, but sudo libinput list-devices shows them in different groups:

Happy to provide swaymsg -t get_inputs too, but seems like the info may be redundant. I've tried using the seat * keyboard_grouping smart and none settings, which change nothing. I have also tried adding input type:keyboard {...} with mapping and repeat settings, as well as adding both keyboards as separate input devices, and nothing changes.

I know these keys do work to adjust the brightness, as running with GNOME/KDE under wayland they function just fine. Any guidance would be helpful!

I encounter the same behaviour on fedora 37 with my keyboard. some media keys work under gnome but not in sway.

bl4ckb0ne · 2022-11-21T18:53:57Z

Do they show up with libinput debug-events? Could be a keyboard group issue.

Nachtpfoetchen · 2022-12-03T18:32:55Z

idk why. but it is working now for me. so i cannot reproduce it anymore on my system.

+1 I experienced the same issue with Razer Huntsman Elite keyboard. It works well in Gnome but not with swaywm. The output from libinput debug-events is below.

Capabilities: keyboard pointer

How can this keyboard have pointer caps? Multi function keys?

Could you also paste the output of swaymsg -t get_inputs and the logs from sway (with -Vd) please, I suspect a sway keyboard grouping issue.

iabdelkareem · 2022-12-14T16:13:39Z

I'm not sure to be honest this keyboard doesn't have pointer caps. But I'm attaching it to a lenovo laptop and the laptop keyboard has a pointer (red dot).

Solved for me by manually specifying bindings as follows.

bindsym XF86AudioMute exec pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%

~~Also having same problem on the Corsair K63, no matter if wired or wireless , using Sway 1.8 on Arch.~~

~~I still get the problem even if I manually set the bindings on my config file~~

removed debug info

bl4ckb0ne · 2023-01-30T16:04:07Z

*** (-1) pressed

that's when you're trying the media keys?

edmilsonaj · 2023-01-30T16:41:08Z

that's when you're trying the media keys?

Thats ctrl+c

edmilsonaj · 2023-02-01T13:30:59Z

Nevermind, just noticed that one of the config files I copied over my existing conf had some bindings that weren´t working on my setup. After removing it, it now works as expected.

Sorry for the confusion.

kamiyaa · 2023-07-06T13:26:00Z

Same issue here with a keyboard with mouse capabilities (media keys allows for controlling the mouse)

Sway version: 20ffe54
wlroots version: 77d5631e42fbcf3ceb51a1d607219228aeaabb00
Kernel version: 6.3.9

None of the media keys work for me (volume, playback, search, mouse, etc.)

The weird thing is:

sometimes when I start sway, it works, sometimes it doesn't
- when it works, the media keys show up in xev
- when it doesn't work, the media keys do not show up in xev
starting sway also stalls for a good 2-3s, which it didn't in the past with an old keyboard
which leads me to think theres some sort of race condition? or at least some sort of inconsistent processing order of devices
