compose key with defseq

[aserowy]

Heho,

im trying to enable a compose key like configuration to enable key inputs like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key and i NEED help :D

But i am struggling to get the right output. The following config triggers after hitting 'sldr' s s, but the output is completely weird.

(defseq "ß" (s s))
(deffakekeys "ß" (macro (unicode ß)))

Leads to

Just writing

(deffakekeys "ß" (macro ß))

leaves a corrupt configuration.

It's neither fake keys or sequences issue. It's how unicode action works.

Read linux-unicode-u-code and linux-unicode-termination

Heho,

i neither have a different init key nor remapped the termination.

07:30:11 [DEBUG] (2) kanata::kanata: key press U
07:30:11 [DEBUG] (2) kanata::oskbd::linux: input ev: InputEvent { time: SystemTime { tv_sec: 1684301411, tv_nsec: 601103000 }, kind: Key(KEY_U), value: 1 }
u07:30:11 [DEBUG] (2) kanata::kanata: key release U

The unicode mappings are working normally. (ctrl shift u -> number -> enter: unicode gets inserted)

[aserowy]

Ok, i found that the mapping is working correctly in browser and co. The unicode input (regardless of kanata or manual input) is not working in wezterm. It seems not related to kanata.
