[ABANDONED]Bindings weird behavior Hyprland

I have 2 specific bindings here

bind = Super_L, SPACE, exec, rofi -show run
bind = Super_R, SPACE, exec, mpc toggle

Both bindings were responding to any Super button, but I fixed that adding 's' flag

binds = Super_L, SPACE, exec, rofi -show run
binds = Super_R, SPACE, exec, mpc toggle

But now these bindings sometimes just don't work until I hit LMB. I've tried 'p' and 'l' flags but that doesn't seem to help. How to fix that?

Info that might be useful:

• Kernel : 6.15.2-arch1-1

• WM     : Hyprland 0.49.0 (Wayland)

• Config : Github(these bindings on 166 and 293 lines)

Re: [ABANDONED]Bindings weird behavior Hyprland

I've fixed it by doing empty binding:

bind = SUPER, SPACE, exec,

Now it works pretty fine
No it doesn't.. Problem still not fixed

Re: [ABANDONED]Bindings weird behavior Hyprland

Super_L and Super_R are distinct keys but they'll trigger the exact same modifier (mod4, 0x40) so if you're using them as a modifier to "space" the will cause the exact same event (same key on the same |0x40 modifier)
So https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/5966 the "binds" version should™ be the correct pick.

bindings sometimes just don't work until I click onto wallpaper

Does *only*

bind = SUPER, SPACE, exec, rofi -show run

work in the scenarios where the "binds" approach didn't?

Re: [ABANDONED]Bindings weird behavior Hyprland

Sorry for not responding for a quite time. I've tested your thing.
I've set bindings:

binds = Super_L, SPACE, exec, rofi -show run
binds = Super_R, SPACE, exec, mpc toggle
bind = SUPER, SPACE, exec, rofi -show drun

And indeed, when the 'binds' bindings don't work, the 'bind' one works.
The 'bind' one works even when 'binds' do work, but that's expected.

Re: [ABANDONED]Bindings weird behavior Hyprland

Test the behavior of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprland-git and in doubt file a bug at https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues

binds = Super_L, SPACE, exec, rofi -show run
binds = Super_R, SPACE, exec, mpc toggle

should™ be correct.
On more thing to test would be wofi (for a native wayland client instead of rofi) and https://man.archlinux.org/man/rofi.1#normal (to prevent rofi from grabbing the input)

I've tested it on hyprland-git, nothing changes.
I don't think it has anything with rofi, because it isn't even running when it happens.

Re: [ABANDONED]Bindings weird behavior Hyprland

I've got an answer from github and it seems to be a common issue with 'binds'.
It happens after Scroll event as described here
I still didn't fix it unfortunately, and seems like there's no way to fix it since it's just a hyprland bug.
So I'm closing this.
