Hyprland: Mod key not working

Hyprland Version

0.28.0

Bug or Regression?

Bug

Description

I’ve run into similar issue as #1762: I configured Hyprland with CZ keyboard layout and after few minutes Hyprland starts ignoring all my shortcuts that have Super in them… In terminal I can see something like ^[[100;9m when pressing my shortcuts. It will work for a few moments though (which is kind of strange) - I can generally open few terminal windows.

It seems like there is some kind of a bug in a way Hyprland handles keystrokes - everything works OK in Xorg and in Sway. Also it seems that it is only Super key that will behave in this way as Alt+F2 (for example) keeps working.

Snippet of my config:

input {
    kb_layout = cz
    kb_variant =
    kb_model =
    kb_options =
    kb_rules =

    follow_mouse = 1
    numlock_by_default = yes

    touchpad {
        natural_scroll = yes
        tap-and-drag = yes
    }

    sensitivity = 0 # -1.0 - 1.0, 0 means no modification.
}

$mainMod = SUPER
bind = $mainMod, D, exec, kitty
bind = ALT, F4, killactive, 
bind = $mainMod, M, exit,

How to reproduce

Configure Hyprland with CZ locale.

exit submap is not finished properly (no submap=reset) jsyk

this is definitely odd.

Funny thing is that I fixed that exit submap and the problem did not manifest so far (writing this from Hyprland) 😳 However I jumped from X to Hyprland several times and it might be possible that something somewhere got stuck…

Also it seems that the Mod2 (NumLock) behaves as I would expect: it is ignored in bind maps. I was slightly worried for a moment that I’d have to define all my maps twice (one for NUM on and one for off). 😅

Tomorrow I will try to reboot to wipe the slate clean and then I will report back. Thanks for your help @vaxerski, hopefully this was it!
