Input Simulation (Bazzite-KDE Plasma 6-Wayland-RPM)
Yet another IS post 🫶
I am currently trying to get [k(Alt,p),k(F12,p),k(F12,r),k(Alt,r)] to run. I've tested F12 in browser as inspect element, [k(F12,p),k(F12,r)] works, k(F12,c) does not. Globally F12 doesn't work - for example if I hold Alt manually then use my F12 button on opendeck does not trigger my gpu screen recorder hotkey however [k(Alt,p),k(Alt,r)] will trigger when testing by itself on my browser.
Looking at Enigo github could I be missing dependencies or permissions? I ran their "example" code as well, Everything worked including ctrl+a select all.
I have also noticed that at times when editing the script in opendeck i've had to terminate and relaunch opendeck to get the buttons to function on testing.

So, first thing, the screenshot you sent of your IS settings has a typo, there's a missing comma, could that be the issue?
Secondly, about
p, r working and c not working, I'd already discovered that and reported it as 'Issue 4' on an enigo issue, this is pentamassiv's response as to why it happens: https://github.com/enigo-rs/enigo/issues/453#issuecomment-3215938364 and here's a tracking issue: https://github.com/enigo-rs/enigo/issues/464
Third of all, about having to terminate and relaunch OpenDeck, could you send over the Starter Pack plugin logs instead of the main OpenDeck log?
I think that I need to separate Input Simulation out into a separate plugin, and then have different downloads for the plugin based on X11/Wayland (and one for Windows/macOS)
Kinda crazy that it's coming to that but this library absolutely does not work with multiple features enabled...Looks like it's using x11 from the logs
As for the typo, I fixed it, I re-wrote the line like 12 different ways trying to throw different variations at the wall to see what would stick lol. I tried changing the keybind for gpu screen record to Ctrl+F12 too, no juice on changing IS to match that.
I guess I also have the double command issue too, tested uni('a') and I see it inputting a twice. bummer
If that's the case as I understand may be out of your control, do you have any suggestions as how I may make macros outside of opendeck via .sh or something and somehow launch them through the deck?
