2022-01-21 14:36:47 +0100 <dnzm> Heya folks, I'm toying around with Kmonad under Linux to try and recreate something an Apple keyboard did right: map CMD+arrow keys to the home/end/pgup/pgdn cluster. I'm adding a layer ("super"), adding an alias ("sup") to toggle that layer, and in deflayer I've mapped that alias to my `lmet` key.
2022-01-21 14:37:31 +0100 <sshine> awesome. I just idle here in the hope that I'll get around to doing exactly that. :)
2022-01-21 14:37:42 +0100 <dnzm> this works, in that it allows me to cmd+↓ to scroll down in a window, so yay. However, it now eats all the "regular" SUPER+... mappings I had in X11, which is less than ideal
2022-01-21 14:38:31 +0100 <dnzm> oh
2022-01-21 14:38:33 +0100 <dnzm> oh, I may have just figured out what I was doing wrong
2022-01-21 14:39:46 +0100 <dnzm> ...well, not quite. See, I had `-` in my layers in stead of `_` (so hyphens rather than underscores), which is silly. Fixed that now.
2022-01-21 14:40:33 +0100 <dnzm> Still no dice on getting the "old" combo's to work, though.
2022-01-21 14:42:01 +0100 <dnzm> which somewhat makes sense, come to think of it - I use lmet to switch to a layer, and press a key, which gets passed along just fine, just minus the lmet key since that's already "consumed" by switching to that layer, probably
2022-01-21 14:44:40 +0100 <dnzm> so what I want appears to be a combination of a layer and `around-next`, perhaps. Not sure if / how I can combine those two, so if anyone can weigh in on that...
2022-01-21 15:14:18 +0100 <dnzm> oh, I was also halted at first by using a pre-cooked binary from the github releases, that didn't work either way, threw errors on the tutorial file as well
2022-01-21 15:14:37 +0100 <dnzm> freshly building (through a container) did yield a working binary
2022-01-21 15:16:40 +0100 <Solid> you would probably need to check out the tutorial with the corresponding tagged release
2022-01-21 15:20:08 +0100 <dnzm> ah, that's one mystery solved then
2022-01-21 15:20:53 +0100 <dnzm> it tripped over the `cmp-seq ralt` line, which wasn't in the release-version tutorial file, OK.
2022-01-21 15:23:06 +0100 <dnzm> that leaves the matter of using one source key for several purposes, is such a thing possible?

2022-01-21 23:21:00 +0100 <dnzm> Hm, from perusing the tutorial again, I think what I want to do is quite... well, not so *difficult* as such, just a lot of work. I want a key on the input keyboard (the Cmd/Win/Super, whatever you want to call it) to be able to do several things:...

2022-01-21 23:21:35 +0100 <dnzm> I think especially the last part is going to trip me up in having to configure layers or aliases (or both?) for every combo, which gets unwieldy
