Hyper instead of mod key

martvefun · 2024-10-14 16:07:12

Hello,

I am a user of the Ergo‑L keyboard layout which was integrated into xkbx this year.
The particularity of this layout is the modifier ★ key (located at the [O] key on a QWERTY keyboard) which produces no output but will have an effect on the next key that is pressed. This is used to make symbols that would otherwise be too far away (eg ★+S = é, ★+E = è, …).
xkb definition is using the ISO_Level5_Latch:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboar … heads#L670

All was working fine until this morning after a system upgrade. I noticed some issues in doom emacs. When pressing the modifier key to get an [é], I get an error saying “H+é is undefined” (where H is the shortcode for Hyper key in emacs). Same with any other combination key. Meaning the ★ key is now interpreted as Hyper.
I thought it was an emacs issue but in GNOME when trying to configure a new shortcut and pressing ★+S, it detects it as Hyper + S.

In all the other programs I have tested, it works fine but it is possible that it is because most software do not support the hyper key in the first place.

On xmodmap, we can see the definition of the ★ key at the keycode 32 (which looks ok)

Any idea what would have cause this and how I can disable this Hyper key?
Rebooting does not changes the behaviour.

Thank you

edit: ok I think I have a lead on the mod3 line. But no idea where this comes from.

$ xmodmap -pm
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0xcc),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        ISO_Level5_Shift (0xcb),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c)

I have tried clearing it with

$ cat ~/.Xmodmap
clear mod3

but the mod3 is still there after rebooting.

Apparently this seems to be due to this recent change in xboard-config
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboar … issues/440
and discussing a fix at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboar … quests/760
So I guess not much to do arch-side but wait for a patch in xkeyboard-config

Hyper instead of mod key
