Xswitcher Layout Corrector für Linux: Schritt zwei

1.

[Templates] # "@name@" to simplify expressions
 # Words can consist of these chars (regex)
 "WORD" = "([0-9A-Z`;']|[LR]_BRACE|COMMA|DOT|SLASH|KP[0-9])"

2. Was tun, wenn etwas gedrückt wird (der nächste Scan-Code ist eingetroffen)?

[ActionKeys]
 # Collect key and do the test for command sequence
 # !!! Repeat codes (code=2) must be collected once per key!
 Add = ["1..0", "=", "BS", "Q..]", "L_CTRL..CAPS", "N_LOCK", "S_LOCK",
        "KP7..KPDOT", "R_CTRL", "KPSLASH", "R_ALT", "KPEQUAL..PAUSE",
        "KPCOMMA", "L_META..COMPOSE", "KPLEFTPAREN", "KPRIGHTPAREN"]

 # Drop all collected keys, including this.  This is default action.
 Drop = ["ESC", "-", "TAB", "ENTER", "KPENTER", "LINEFEED..POWER"]
 # Store extra map for these keys, when any is in "down" state.
 # State is checked via "OFF:"|"ON:" conditions in action.
 # (Also, state of these keys must persist between buffer drops.)
 # ??? How to deal with CAPS and "LOCK"-keys ???
 StateKeys = ["L_CTRL", "L_SHIFT", "L_ALT", "L_META", "CAPS", "N_LOCK", "S_LOCK",
              "R_CTRL", "R_SHIFT", "R_ALT", "R_META"]

 # Test only, but don't collect.
 # E.g., I use F12 instead of BREAK on dumb laptops whith shitty keyboards (new ThinkPads)
 Test = ["F1..F10", "ZENKAKUHANKAKU", "102ND", "F11", "F12",
          "RO..KPJPCOMMA", "SYSRQ", "SCALE", "HANGEUL..YEN",
          "STOP..SCROLLDOWN", "NEW..MAX"]

• "Drop" an dieser Stelle habe ich vor, auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren. Für eine flexiblere Verarbeitung (ich werde unten zeigen).

3. Fensterklassenbezeichnung

# Some behaviour can depend on application currently doing the input.
[[WindowClasses]]
 # VNC, VirtualBox, qemu etc. emulates there input independently, so never intercept.
 # With the exception of some stupid VNC clients, which does high-level (layout-based) keyboard input.
 Regex = "^VirtualBox"
 Actions = "" # Do nothing while focus stays in VirtualBox

[[WindowClasses]]
 Regex = "^konsole"
 # In general, mouse clicks leads to unpredictable (at the low-level where xswitcher resides) cursor jumps.
 # So, it's good choise to drop all buffers after click.
 # But some windows, e.g. terminals, can stay out of this problem.
 MouseClickDrops = 0
 Actions = "Actions"

[[WindowClasses]] # Default behaviour: no Regex (or wildcard like ".")
 MouseClickDrops = 1
 Actions = "Actions"

• « » «Actions = …». / — .
• «MouseClickDrops» — . xswitcher « », - . () ( ).

# action = [ regex1, regex2, ... ]
# "CLEAN" state: all keys are released
[Actions]
# Inverse regex is hard to understand, so extract negation to external condition.
# Expresions will be checked in direct order, one-by-one. Condition succceds when ALL results are True.
 # Maximum key sequence length, extra keys will be dropped. More length - more CPU.
 SeqLength = 8
 # Drop word buffer and start collecting new one
 NewWord = [ "OFF:(CTRL|ALT|META)  SEQ:(((BACK)?SPACE|[LR]_SHIFT):[01],)*(@WORD@:1)", # "@WORD@:0" then collects the char
             "SEQ:(@WORD@:2,@WORD@:0)", # Drop repeated char at all: unlikely it needs correction
             "SEQ:((KP)?MINUS|(KP)?ENTER|ESC|TAB)" ] # Be more flexible: chars line "-" can start new word, but must not completelly invalidate buffer!
 # Drop all buffers
 NewSentence = [ "SEQ:(ENTER:0)" ]

 # Single char must be deleted by single BS, so there is need in compose sequence detector.

• "Wait = 1" - Warten Sie, bis der laufende Prozess abgeschlossen ist.
• Wahrscheinlich wird "to the heap" die Umgebung extra belasten wollen. Informationen wie der Name der Fensterklasse, von der sie abgefangen wird.
