I just installed river on my new Lenovo Ideapad 1. It launches properly but I am not able to open my terminal because the return key is not registering. I am getting the error "X11 cannot support keycodes above 255." It also says the maximum keycode is 708. This is all appearing in the console that i ran river from. Has anyone else had a similar
<Guest78>
problem?
<ifreund>
Guest78: that log message is just annoying noise from Xwayland and should be ignored
<ifreund>
please share the full debug log in a pastebin
<Guest78>
Ok if thats the case then I am going to assume it is a problem that is unrelated to river. I had assumed the annoying warnings where the cause.
<Guest78>
There is nothing else that is useful in the logs. I think my keyboard must be misconfigured.

hmm, the current window management protocol doesn't make it possible for a window to be added to an in progress interactive resize
<ifreund>
the use-case I have in mind is interactive resize of all windows in a tiled layout
<ifreund>
it would be slick if a new window that is opened while the resize is in progess would seamlessly join the layout being resized
<ifreund>
maybe that's enough of an edge case to not have to care about it

the simplest way to solve that would be to push all the resizing policy to the window manager and just send it accumulated cursor movements in windowing updates
<ifreund>
this would make window managers do more work to implement move/resize, but it would be more flexible and probably simplify the protocol itself
<ifreund>
it would cost one extra roundtrip to the wm per step of the interactive resize, which should be pretty insignificant
<ifreund>
I would prefer to centralize as much of the complexity of interactive resize in the compositor as possible, but I also don't like the idea of the protocol being limiting
<ifreund>
leon-p: would be curious to hear your thoughts
<apoorv569>
can river configure output/display as well? I don't see anything in the example configuration on the codeberg repo.

apoorv569: people usually use kanshi or wlr-randr for that
