keyd: keyd-application-mapper doesn't detect wayland?

Hello.

Good work for KDE compatibility. Thanks to both of you.

I’ve test this commit on both Kde Plasma 5 and 6 (Fedora) I have 3 comment :

1. In the Kwin Script, the client.resourceName seems to be less reliable than client.resourceClass to identify the class of an window. With mpv and Firefox (Flatpak) the 1st is empty but the 2nd is in all case populate.

2. The Kwin Script work with Plasma 6 but need some adjustment for Plasma 5 Line 127 workspace.windowActivated.connect => workspace.clientActivated.connect

ressourceClass vs ressourcename.txt

1. The python script keys-application-mapper work with Plasma 6 but need some adjustment for Plasma 5 Line 144 script = bus.get_object(‘org.kde.KWin’, ‘/Scripting/Script%d’ % num).run() => script = bus.get_object(‘org.kde.KWin’, f’/%d’ % num).run()

I’ve made a rough modification for testing

keyd-application-mapperMOD.txt

I hope that helps.

Short answer is: yes

Longer answer is: read https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd particularly the section on Application Specific Remapping:

1. You should have an app.conf in ~/.config/keyd which contains application specific mappings. This is different to your /etc/keyd/default.conf
2. Don’t chmod /var/run/keyd.socket; add yourself to the keyd group (may need then to reboot or at least open a new terminal and check you’ve been added)
3. Then run my keyd-application-mapper as above (with KEYD_DEBUG=1 and -v option) to test everything’s working.

Ok - here’s a first pass at a KDE/Wayland version of keyd-application-mapper. This is alpha quality - beta at best - and requires a lot more testing. If anyone wants to test it, I’m happy to look at bugs/feedback.

A few notes:

1. Consists of two files:

• keyd-application-mapper should be a drop-in replacement for /usr/bin/keyd-application-mapper. There may be edge cases that I’ve missed, but works for me on KDE Plasma 6.0.2.
• keyd.kwinscript is a kwinscript that can be installed via System Settings -> Window Management -> KWin Scripts -> Install from File. See note below though.

1. Dependencies:

This keyd-application-mapper is written in Perl (because that’s what I know!), and relies on the following modules:

• File::HomeDir
• Net::DBus
• Proc::Daemon
• File::FnMatch

1. Starting the kwinscript:

After installing the kwinscript, you might need to enable it in order for it to work. The most reliable way of doing this is

kwriteconfig6 --file kwinrc --group Plugins --key keydEnabled true
qdbus6 org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

I’ll look into this and see if I can make this slicker.

Hurray! That’s great news. As far as I’m aware you’re the first user (other than me) - so please do let me know any problems that you come across.

Got it. Thanks. However I think there is a way to do this for KDE using KWin scripts and DBUS messaging. I’m working on a proof of concept now - will report back in a day or two.

With a bit of debugging, it looks like this is because the KDE 6 compositor doesn’t implement zwlr_foreign_toplevel_manager_v1
