| 13:36:47 | <dnzm> | Heya folks, I'm toying around with Kmonad under Linux to try and recreate something an Apple keyboard did right: map CMD+arrow keys to the home/end/pgup/pgdn cluster. I'm adding a layer ("super"), adding an alias ("sup") to toggle that layer, and in deflayer I've mapped that alias to my `lmet` key. |
| 13:37:31 | <sshine> | awesome. I just idle here in the hope that I'll get around to doing exactly that. :) |
| 13:37:42 | <dnzm> | this works, in that it allows me to cmd+↓ to scroll down in a window, so yay. However, it now eats all the "regular" SUPER+... mappings I had in X11, which is less than ideal |
| 13:38:31 | <dnzm> | oh |
| 13:38:33 | <dnzm> | oh, I may have just figured out what I was doing wrong |
| 13:39:46 | <dnzm> | ...well, not quite. See, I had `-` in my layers in stead of `_` (so hyphens rather than underscores), which is silly. Fixed that now. |
| 13:40:33 | <dnzm> | Still no dice on getting the "old" combo's to work, though. |
| 13:42:01 | <dnzm> | which somewhat makes sense, come to think of it - I use lmet to switch to a layer, and press a key, which gets passed along just fine, just minus the lmet key since that's already "consumed" by switching to that layer, probably |
| 13:44:40 | <dnzm> | so what I want appears to be a combination of a layer and `around-next`, perhaps. Not sure if / how I can combine those two, so if anyone can weigh in on that... |
| 14:14:18 | <dnzm> | oh, I was also halted at first by using a pre-cooked binary from the github releases, that didn't work either way, threw errors on the tutorial file as well |
| 14:14:37 | <dnzm> | freshly building (through a container) did yield a working binary |
| 14:16:40 | <Solid> | you would probably need to check out the tutorial with the corresponding tagged release |
| 14:20:08 | <dnzm> | ah, that's one mystery solved then |
| 14:20:53 | <dnzm> | it tripped over the `cmp-seq ralt` line, which wasn't in the release-version tutorial file, OK. |
| 14:23:06 | <dnzm> | that leaves the matter of using one source key for several purposes, is such a thing possible? |

| 22:21:00 | <dnzm> | Hm, from perusing the tutorial again, I think what I want to do is quite... well, not so *difficult* as such, just a lot of work. I want a key on the input keyboard (the Cmd/Win/Super, whatever you want to call it) to be able to do several things:...

| 22:21:35 | <dnzm> | I think especially the last part is going to trip me up in having to configure layers or aliases (or both?) for every combo, which gets unwieldy |
