08:08 <zakora> Has anyone built foot for Ubuntu 20.04? I tried to, but got stuck on some dependency issues (xkbcommon), so I wanted to know how much more effort is needed before diving too deep :)

08:23 <manio> zakora: apt install xkbcommon-dev

08:40 <zakora> it's already installed, but Ubuntu 20.04 ships with v0.10.0 whereas foot requires >= 1.0.0. I tried to build to install it from source but got stuck, hence my question

09:02 <manio> zakora: you are sure you are talking about libxkbcommon-dev and not libxkbcommon-x11-dev ?

09:15 <manio> oh and I mean 'apt install libxkbcommon-dev' before, sorry

09:23 <zakora> Yes, https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libxkbcommon-dev also shows it's at v0.10.0 for Ubuntu 20.04 (the newer Ubuntu seem to have v1.0.0, but not the current LTS 20.04)

11:00 <dutchie> not sure if foot or kakoune bug: since 1.10.3, pressing menu with grp:menu_switch enabled in sway inserts a ｾ (katakana se) as well as switching the layout

11:00 <dutchie> (only in kakoune, which afaik is the only TUI application i have that supports the kitty keyboard protocol)

11:10 <dnkl> dutchie: does it happen in kitty too?

11:11 <dutchie> no

11:11 <dutchie> not in kitty 0.23.1

11:12 <dutchie> so i guess it's foot. want me to open an issue?

11:12 <dnkl> yeah, sure

11:13 <dnkl> it's kind of weird that xkb both handles it (by switching layout), and passes it on to foot...

11:16 <dnkl> dutchie: is this sway 1.6.1, or a git snapshot?

11:16 <dutchie> 1.6.1 release, though it is kakoune master

11:21 <dnkl> dutchie: apparently, I don't have a menu key... but, I can sort of reproduce anyway, in river as well. I swap ctrl <--> caps-lock, and have the control key (the actual Ctrl key) switch layouts. Pressing it doesn't insert any chars in kakoune, but it does affect the previous char in some way, that isn't happening in kitty

11:23 <dutchie> i can try with my other laptop, which has a custom xkb layout because for some reason lenovo put print screen where menu ought to be

11:25 <dnkl> don't think that's necessary

11:25 <dnkl> or, I'll have you test it when I have a PR up ;)

11:26 <dnkl> at least on foot master, pressing the ctrl key (with the kitty flags enabled by kakoune) emits an escape (which it shouldn't)

11:26 <dnkl> let me fix that

11:26 <dnkl> and then you can test

11:26 <dutchie> ok then

11:30 <dnkl> dutchie: aaah... this kind of makes sense. The escape I'm getting is XKB_KEY_ISO_Next_Group

11:30 <dnkl> which isn't in kitty's key table

11:30 <dnkl> which means it gets the "generic" treatment

11:30 <dnkl> i.e. is emitted as a unicode codepoint

11:47 <dnkl> dutchie: think you can test https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/pulls/847 ?

11:48 <dutchie> i'll have a look now, might have to pause for lunch/taking the dog for a walk

11:50 <dnkl> oh yeah, look at that... already lunch time

11:51 <dutchie> that seems to work fine

11:51 <dutchie> no more katakana

11:52 <dnkl> \o/

11:55 <dutchie> (that was just a debug build, something's not quite working with release/pgo in my setup that i don't know if i want to dive into fixing atm)

12:02 <dnkl> dutchie: merged to master

12:05 <dutchie> cool, i'll use that until a release makes its way to nixos-unstable then

12:05 <dutchie> ty for fixing it so quickly!

12:05 <dnkl> np

13:37 <w0rm> dnkl: re font sizing - either I had an aneurism or something was fixed since I made that config... in either way I can now use size=11 and get consistent results

13:38 <w0rm> so you won't get a bugreport from me

13:43 <dnkl> w0rm: great, I appreciate the feedback! (it's not the first time I see someone doing both - good to know that it isn't necessary)

13:48 <w0rm> I really do enjoy foot, url selector is something I've been missing since I moved away from urxvt...

17:30 <sterni> dutchie: are you active in NixOS/nixpkgs

17:30 <sterni> I often struggle finding people to test foot / fcft updates somehow
