--- Comment #1 from Shual Kravot <as.afgre.enb...@gmail.com> --- I just realized the main issue: When I assign Unicode keyboard input to a hotkey, the characters are not sent correctly. I assume they are being sent in plain ASCII, and the unicode char is being interpreted as a control character, (cause random phenomena on the way). How to reproduce: 0. in "Custom Shortcuts", 1. define a keyboard action (New > Global Shortcut > Send Keyboard Input") 2. assign a shortcut key (I tried Meta+M, Meta+W, alt+ctrl+N) 3. assign a non-ascii, unicode string (I used €, or ₪) 4. Save. 5. the keyboard input is not sent 6. when I press the shortcut, I see a brief flicker in the whole GUI/screen, or a random action of the window manager (e.g. raising windows, change task, minimize/maximize, etc). 7. the settings appears in ~/.config/khotkeysrc , and seems "in order". I.e. the character is saved there as UTF-8. I tested the same with pure textual (a-zA-Z0-9) ASCII string, and it worked as expected. Hence I deduce this is an encoding problem, either in the sending part, or the receiving part. Moreover: 1. I created an executable script using xdotool (apt install xdotool) #!/bin/bash xdotool type € 2. This script works as standalone, e.g. from the command line, crontab. It sends the euro character to the active window. 3. If the same script is running by khotkeys's "command/URL", then the outcome is not sent (produce the flicker / actions I mentioned described above). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
