18:37 <dnkl> https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/pulls/841 implements the new wl_output.name() and wl_output.description()

18:37 <dnkl> we still need xdg-output however, for correct DPI calculation with fractional scaling...

18:42 <TobTobXX> Hey there! I seem to be a bit stupid, but I can't trigger the url mode reliably. When I start foot, I can usually trigger it once and then visit a site. But once I visited a site, I can't trigger it again, it'll always insert an underlined u.

18:44 <dnkl> TobTobXX: this may sound silly... but are you re-activating URL mode again? It exits as soon as a link has been activated

18:45 <dnkl> oh wait, that's what you're trying to do...

18:45 <dnkl> hmm, which version of foot?

18:45 <dnkl> sounds like a key input/state issue

18:46 <TobTobXX> foot version: 1.10.1 -pgo +ime +graphemes -assertions

18:46 <TobTobXX> GNOME, wayland (obvsly) on Alpine Linux v3.15

18:46 <dnkl> which compositor?

18:46 <dnkl> ah

18:46 <dnkl> :)

18:46 <dnkl> does it work if you switch to another window and then back?

18:47 <TobTobXX> Nope

18:47 <TobTobXX> And in fact, as soon as foot once looses focus, it looses the ability to enter url mode

18:48 <TobTobXX> this is my foot.ini: https://paste.sr.ht/~tobtobxx/8e7d890ea9f57803c20419e4a1bc67f5cf31d443 (should be fairly standard)

18:48 <dnkl> are you using the default key bindings (ctrl+shift+u)? does other key bindings, like ctrl+shift+c (copy) and ctrl+shift+v (paste) continue to work after switching focus?

18:48 <TobTobXX> Oh, and I use fish.

18:48 <dnkl> shell shouldn't matter

18:49 <dnkl> but it's likely related to the compositor

18:49 <TobTobXX> Ctrl-Shift-c and Ctrl-Shift-v do work after focus switch

18:50 <ifreund> dnkl: RE xdg-output, there are plans to stop exposing to normal clients/rename it to xwayland-output https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/issues/7

18:50 <dnkl> that's weird, to say the least... the bindings are handled in exactly the same way...

18:50 <dnkl> ifreund: I know :/

18:50 <dnkl> I'll use it for as long as I can

18:51 <dnkl> then we'll have to stop supporting dpi-awareness when fractional scaling is used

18:51 <dnkl> hopefully, real fractional scaling has become a thing then...

18:51 <dnkl> (fingers crossed)

18:52 <dnkl> s/real/working

18:53 <TobTobXX> Hmm... I remapped url-mode to Ctrl-Shift-i and now it seems to be working...

18:53 <dnkl> TobTobXX: hmm... it _could_ be related to GNOME's IME (ibus?)

18:53 <dnkl> isn't that bound to C-S-u too, by default?

18:53 <dnkl> could be some kind of collision there

18:54 <TobTobXX> I never used ibus. Isn't that some input method related stuff?

18:54 <TobTobXX> FWIW, no keybinding set in the control-center uses C-S-u

18:55 <dnkl> TobTobXX: could be an ibus setting

18:55 <TobTobXX> Youp, found it. You were right

18:55 <dnkl> I don't have a GNOME setup available at the moment, and can't verify. But pretty sure C-S-u is used to enter "unicode", which is handled by an IME

18:55 <dnkl> ah, nice!

18:56 <TobTobXX> Unicode code point uses C-S-u

18:56 <dnkl> mystery solved :)

18:57 <TobTobXX> Yes, it works now. Thanks.

18:58 <TobTobXX> I just remapped the keybinding through imap-setup

18:58 <TobTobXX> *ibus-setup

18:58 <p00f> dnkl: Oo I thought this was a Firefox thing

18:59 <dnkl> p00f: nope. In fact, it would have worked nicely in foot as well, if GNOME imlemented the correct text-input Wayland protocol (but it doesn't)

19:01 <p00f> On sway it works only inside Firefox, libreoffice and thunar

19:02 <p00f> dnkl: I see

19:03 <dnkl> p00f: yeah, there's one interface between the compositor and the clients (firefox, foot, etc), and another between the compositor and the IME

19:03 <dnkl> everything has to match up

19:04 <dnkl> but I also think some applications can talk "directly" to the IME, over e.g. dbus

19:04 <dnkl> but not sure. I haven't really investigated how IMEs work, beyond the Wayland protocols

19:04 <p00f> 👍
