ctrl + s (and other key combos) not working in lönn

[dire copper]

using endeavour os (basically arch linux) with kde plasma

lönn seems to have just randomly stopped registering a bunch of key combos sometime in the past week or so?
weirdly enough some stuff like N to add nodes still works perfectly, and even the rebinding menu is behaving like normal (but somehow even rebinding doesn't seem to help? even if i rebind e.g. copy to just C without the ctrl i still can't copy anything)

the only package that's updated recently which might be noteworthy is sdl2 being replaced with sdl3 and sdl2-compat, given that löve2d seems like it might make use of the behind the scenes

oh this seems relevant actually

Since the sdl2-compat switch, the most commonly reported bug is that keyboard input stopped working in various games (only for typing in text, not for controlling the games). This bug was already fixed in revision control but had not made it to a release version; that was corrected on day one and Arch users have that update in their hands already.

okayy so i suppose this is technically resolved since downgrading back to normal sdl2 seems to have fixed it, but it's interesting that the typing keyboard input was fixed but lönn's key combos were still broken

@unreal knoll hmmm

[unreal knoll]

do I need to install arch?

[unreal knoll]

I'll try to drag in SDL3 in another Linux distribution that has an installer

... oh that's EndeavorOS I guess? :p

[unreal knoll]

how do you even get sdl3 though

I see I already have sdl3

except text fields just work™️

are you on 2.30.51? it's like, very recent

even downgrading to 2.30.50 doesn't prevent it from working

key combos too

I still told the person on GitHub to try updating sdl2-compat 🤷‍♀️

[oblique osprey]

fyi this exists https://distrobox.it/ and its quite handy to use other distros, you can even run gui apps with a bit more effort i believe

and going back to the issue, hopefully they will make a post in the arch news soon so that people are aware of this

[unreal knoll]

well, apparently updating sdl2-compat fixed the issue for the GitHub person ✅

(well, updating their system fixed the issue at least, but their sdl2-compat was updated in the process)

[dire copper]

oh cool tried updating again and seems to work now
