Due to a driver issue with my digitizer, I am using a bash script to simulate right-clicks with xdotool when my stylus button is pressed. However, these clicks cannot be used to activate a shortcut (I would like to show the popup palette when it is pressed). This does work if I simulate a keypress instead of a mouseclick: I hoped to work around this problem by adding "xdotool key F13" to the button-down case and binding the popup palette shortcut to it. It worked, but annoyingly, the right mouse button then did register on the palette as soon as it popped up, necessitating that I use separate scripts and not run them simultaneously. The same problem results when using xte instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place mouse cursor over canvas, or open Configure Shortcuts menu and attempt to bind a new shortcut. 2. execute "xdotool click 3" or "xte 'mouseclick 3'" in terminal. Actual Results: No result. Expected Results: Successfully binding a shortcut to the right mouse button, or showing the popup palette (default binding). See http://askubuntu.com/questions/724891/how-do-i-correct-this-mismapped-stylus-button?725258#725258 for the script being used.
Hi Rebekah, Thanks for your report. I'm sorry, but I haven't had a chance to setup a way to test this issue. It could be in our code, it could be in Qt... It might even just work out of the box with the development version of Krita 3.0, because that uses a different way to talk to the x server.
Hi, Rebekah! Could you please try the latest beta version of Krita 3.0? The whole tablet support has been rewritten there, probably it'll work now. https://krita.org/item/development-builds-ready-to-test/
setting this to waiting for info.
