Leftwm: Some keybind commands doesn't work.

[rigoletto-freebsd]

Some keybind actions doesn't work. I have not tried all possible commands but I can list some that simply doesn't work for me:

FocusWorkspacePrevious,FocusWorkspaceNext, MoveToLastWorkspace.

The keyboard have an ABNT-2 layout, but ever changing the keybinding to some key already previously tested with a working command doesn't help at all.

Environment:

FreeBSD

Side issue: I still have not found a way to have focus_manager working in here. I have focus_manager = "ClickTo" on config.toml but the behavior still is the default one (Sloppy).

:: LeftWM version: 0.2.8
:: LeftWM git hash: 10-eol-88773-g0bac49595e04-modified
:: Loading configuration . . .
    -> Configuration loaded OK
:: Checking keybinds . . .
    -> All keybinds OK
:: Checking environment . . .
    -> Environment OK (has XDG_RUNTIME_DIR)

Thank you!

Just to exclude a possible misconception:
You are actually using multiple workspaces as in multiple monitors or have configured a multi-workspace desktop in config.toml, right?
And you are not on a single monitor single workspace setup trying to switch tags with these commands.
Sorry if asking this back sounds stupid, but mixing up workspaces and tags in leftwm is kind of a common pitfall.

Currently on mobile, but could check on this (and your side issue) later today.

The focus issue is because it is focus_behaviour
Thanks.

I understand I have one workspace with multiple tags, with one monitor. So, that explain why this is not working.

Thanks.

Fixed, thank you!

Now it works using FocusPreviousTag, FocusNextTag. \o/
I can't use [ and ] as keybinding. :-(

I'm not familiar with your ABNT-2 keyboard layout, does it have [ and ] directly on the top layer, same as lower-key-characters?
If it is on a higher layer which is accessed by Shift or any other mod-key you would need to use the mod-key plus the base-keys of where [ and ] are located.

So on a QWERTZ Keyboard as mine this would be ALTGR+8 for [ and ALTGR+9 for ]
In the config.toml this would resemble to

[[keybind]]
command = "FocusPreviousTag"
modifier = ["Mod5"] # I believe this was AltGr
key = "8" # [

Another thing worth noting is that leftwm seems to be agnostic of the X11 keyboard (not sure how that translates to bsd?) but relies on the layout defined for the tty. I am not sure about the actual mechanics at this point, but I have observed that my keybinds persist on the same keys invariant if I am using de(T3) layout or de(bone).

ABNT-2 is the Brazilian keyboard. Besides this is QWERTY, except by some specific extra keys this is mostly the same as the US one, and the [ and ] keys are on the lower-keys, without need of using shift.

Xorg in FreeBSD is the same Linux Xorg just with some patches to make it work in here. This is in fact using evdev now too.

PS. Interesting I realized now none of the last keys (before Enter, [ ] / =) work for keybinding.

Oh, this reminds me of something..

Here have a look at lines 274 and 276 you should use the bracketleft and bracketright keywords in config.toml as pointed out (a bit poorly I have to admit, will attend to this in my promised "getting started" I guess) in the wiki.

Yeah, that worked! Thanks!
