| 2026-03-12 22:02:43 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (xset's parameter parsing is idiosyncratic and primitive) |
| 2026-03-12 22:02:25 +0100 | <geekosaur> | e.g. xset r 500 50 |
| 2026-03-12 21:57:38 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> Yes, I saw how to turn it on. Is there a way to manually change the other two values without completely killing X? |
| 2026-03-12 21:57:04 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> auto repeat: on, auto repeat delay: 660, repeat rate: 25 |
| 2026-03-12 21:56:39 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I told you how to turn it on earlier |
| 2026-03-12 21:56:28 +0100 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2026-03-12 21:56:14 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> The WINE thing is new to me though. Is there a way to change the autorepeat settings with xset? |
| 2026-03-12 21:55:13 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I know that. I switched to the TTY to check if key repeat being broken was a hardware thing or a software thing. |
| 2026-03-12 21:54:28 +0100 | <geekosaur> | wine might possibly disable or more likely take over key repeat |
| 2026-03-12 21:54:14 +0100 | <geekosaur> | right, tty and X11 (and wayland) key repeats are distinct, with different settings |
| 2026-03-12 21:51:55 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> The last thing I remember doing before it broke was running a SNES emulator with WINE. |
| 2026-03-12 21:48:26 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> I don't know what caused this issue, but I do remember switching to a TTY and seeing that key repeat worked there. And then I rebooted my machine, and things went back to normal. |

| 2026-03-12 03:58:20 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (if I got the math right) |
| 2026-03-12 03:58:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (fwiw the repeat delay is in ms. if it somehoww got set to MAX_INT, that's around 23 days) |
| 2026-03-12 03:43:28 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it's also possible that the repeat delay is set really high (like, minutes or even hours) or that the repeat mask has been cleared somehow (all 0s in "auto repeating keys", which is likely to be rather difficult to fix) |
| 2026-03-12 03:33:59 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (or "xset q" to see what the settings including key repeat settings are) |
| 2026-03-12 03:33:34 +0100 | <geekosaur> | try: xset r on |
| 2026-03-12 03:15:08 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | Is there something wrong with my laptop and/or my Linux settings? |
| 2026-03-12 03:15:05 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <iqubic (she/her)> So, for some reason, my laptop's built-in keyboard has stopped doing key-repeat. No matter how much I hold down a key, Linux only ever registers it a single time. |

| 2026-03-11 21:42:14 +0100 | <geekosaur> | resizing it manually afterward eorked fine, but next time you started your X session it would do it again |
| 2026-03-11 21:41:48 +0100 | <geekosaur> | this had the amusing result that, back in the days when it had a frame size bug, it would get into a fight with kdewm that led to its initial window size visibly stepping down to about 3x2 |
| 2026-03-11 21:40:06 +0100 | <geekosaur> | emacs has a certain tendency to assume that the window manager (or for that matter anything else) should be subordinate to it |
| 2026-03-11 21:39:06 +0100 | <geekosaur> | or reconfigure it with emacs commands instead of the mouse |
| 2026-03-11 21:38:42 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I don't have an emacs confoiguration that saves frame information; if you do, you might need to turn it off or manually edit the save |
| 2026-03-11 21:25:20 +0100 | <geekosaur> | those together (especially the second) sound like it's emacs doing it and the most you can accomplish from xmonad is starting a war with it (that is, you get a resize loop) |

| 2026-03-11 18:53:13 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <eldritchcookie> it also doesn't allow me to manually fix the window with the mouse. |
| 2026-03-11 18:52:12 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <eldritchcookie> i thought it was something i did wrong but i tested with another application and it works fine, when i use doFullFloat on emacs it covers more than the whole window vertically on the bottom and misses a little horizontally on the right. Are there workarounds for correctly floating emacs? |
| 2026-03-11 17:52:32 +0100 | <liskin> | Even if, it'd look different than what X does |
| 2026-03-11 17:52:17 +0100 | <liskin> | Yeah but maybe use the brain a bit? We're not trying to make a generic WM interface... |
