Match remaps even if extra modifiers are held

[danyspin97]

I am replacing rightalt + n with left key and a couple more. However, it requires a new remap for every added modifier combination.

keymap:
  - name: Arrows
    remap:
      alt_r-n: left
      alt_r-e: down
      alt_r-i: up
      alt_r-o: right
      super-alt_r-n: super-left
      super-alt_r-e: super-down
      super-alt_r-i: super-up
      super-alt_r-o: super-right
      super-shift_l-alt_r-n: super-shift_l-left
      super-shift_l-alt_r-e: super-shift_l-down
      super-shift_l-alt_r-i: super-shift_l-up
      super-shift_l-alt_r-o: super-shift_l-right

Is there an way to just add the first four remaps and make them work with any other modifier automatically? I have tried with modmap but I couldn't make it work.

Yeah, I think alt_r-n: left alone should remap whatever-alt_r-n to whatever-left. It's currently not working that way due to a premature optimization in the implementation.

I'll work on this when I can allocate time to work on this. Meanwhile, please use the current workaround and also consider generating it with a template as needed.

Update: As I'm currently focusing on a big change for another OSS, I'm planning to work on this issue on Aug 13th. If I receive a pull request before that, I can take a look at that too.

Released #145 in v0.6.0. Enjoy.

For report: i tried it with release v0.7.0 and downloaded v0.6.0, it's not working for me. I'm not sure if I have to do something extra.

[k0kubun]

In addition to the version, could you report the following information?

• Platform: X11, GNOME Wayland, or Sway
• Your config (preferably minimum one)
• Output of RUST_LOG=debug xremap

For example, using xremap v0.7.0 on X11, my config to test this behavior is:

keymap:
  - remap:
      alt_r-n: left

and the RUST_LOG=debug xremap is:

As you can see, while Ctrl-Alt-N is pressed (ctrl is not needed), Left is emitted successfully.

[k0kubun]

Well, I guess you want to leave the extra modifier, e.g. Ctrl-Alt-N should be Ctrl-Left? I'm not sure if it's what you mean, but I can work on fixing this.

[nullbyto]

Yes thats what i mean. So no need to write all the combinations. It makes configurating cleaner.

Edit: I think thats what the author meant as well. Let me know if an extra log is still needed, because i have the same result.

[k0kubun]

Addressed it in v0.7.1. Please try that version.

Works perfectly! Thanks for your great work.
