GDK keymap on Haiku

Development Third-Party
#1

While debugging Remmina, I found that mapping of CTRL and ALT keys (gtk keyvals 65507 and 65513) doesn’t work in GTK apps.

gdk_keymap_get_entries_for_keyval fails to find any mapping for those two keys.

Is the lack of support for CTRL and ALT a known issue on X11/Wayland haiku? Is there a way to fix it?

Alt GR is a known issue at least:

#3

Seems similar, because I was under the impression that Remmina did run under Xlibe, but instead I see it depends on Wayland, so I guess it runs on Wayland too like Web/Epiphany

#4

I’m also slightly confused about where GDK gets the keymap from.
For example letter “H” is translated as such

(remmina_protocol_widget_send_keys_signals) - Sending keyval: 104, hardware_keycode: 43

but the keycode 43, is not letter H nor in wayland-server/HaikuSeat.cpp at master · X547/wayland-server · GitHub nor in wayland-server/WaylandKeycodes.h at master · X547/wayland-server · GitHub so I’m not sure what that keycode refers to.

You need to substract 8 from GTK hardware_keycode value.

43 - 8 = 35 (KEY_H). This is some weird libxkbcommon behavior and don’t ask me why, I don’t know.

Ok, I was able to make “Send CTRL+ALT+CANC” work in remmina with following patch.
Previously it did segfault.
I’ll now have to work on a more general purpose solution.

There’s a similar issue in qemu gtk ui. Ctrl/Alt/Shift doesn’t work.
