Issue 315 in xmonad: XMonad.Prompt completion and NumLock cause nonsense characters to appear

Updates: Summary: XMonad.Prompt completion and NumLock cause nonsense characters to appear Status: Accepted Labels: Priority-Critical Milestone-Release0.9 Comment #8 on issue 315 by SpencerJanssen: XMonad.Prompt completion and NumLock cause nonsense characters to appear http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=315 Comprehensive steps to reproduce: 1. Turn on numlock 2. Open a shellPromptHere with the config in XMonad.Config.Sjanssen (this is probably not necessary, only including this information for completeness) 3. Type "xter" 4. Press Tab 5. Note that Esc, Enter and Backspace make a box glyph appear in the prompt rather than their usual behavior 6. Turn off numlock, note that everything seems to work correctly again I suspect that after the event loop enters or exits completion mode, the standard handlers aren't restored. I can also confirm that this issue happened somewhere during the recent prompt changes. This should be pretty easy to fix, but it's important that we get it done before 0.9. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #6 on issue 315 by ivan.miljenovic: Lockup with Xmonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise in -darcs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=315 I take it back: this _didn't_ fix it (I think I forgot to have numlock on when I tried it before :s). That is, I still have the situation that having numlock when trying to run the prompt results in funny characters in the prompt. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #5 on issue 315 by ivan.miljenovic: Lockup with Xmonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise in -darcs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=315 The magic "delete your current darcs repo and re-fetch and build everything from scratch" trick worked for me as well... why does this make a difference? Though I'd swear that I didn't have this problem _before_ this patch was applied... -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

How to find the XF86Launch1-Key reference?
by Thomas Friedrich 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

Hi, I use a Lenovo T61 with Arch Linux and Xmonad. The Laptop has this blue "ThinkVantage" Button in the upper left corner. I'd like to use this key for toggling my CPU-Frequency. I've written a little function in Haskell being inspired by a blog entry by Don Stewart (http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/2007/03) A) The reference to the key The function works as it should and now I'd like to bind it in my xmonad.hs. However, I just cannot figure out how to refer to this "ThinkVantage"-Button in my xmonad.hs. I had a look at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#What_i… which tells me to have a look at: $ xev | sed -ne '/^KeyPress/,/^$/p' KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x102, subw 0x0, time 31601784, (329,154), root:(855,155), state 0x0, keycode 156 (keysym 0x1008ff41, XF86Launch1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False so I know now the keysym and I know its bind to XF86Launch1. But how do I find out how I can refer to this key within Xmonad? I looked into the file /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h and searched for "ff41", "XF", "launch", etc. but no luck. Does anyone know, where to look for the right place? B) Nicer binding At the moment, I have the following: A file CpuToggle.hs, which is --- --- --- module CpuToggle (toggle) where import Text.Printf import System.Process toggle = do s <- readProcess "cpufreq-info" [] [] case (clean s) of True -> do system "sudo cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 2500000" system "sudo cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 2500000" printf "CPU is toggled up.\n" False -> do system "sudo cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 1200000" system "sudo cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 1200000" printf "CPU is toggled down.\n" clean :: String -> Bool clean cs = let a = read $ (!! 4) . words . (!! 11) . lines $ cs b = read $ (!! 4) . words . (!! 21) . lines $ cs in (a < 2.5 || b < 2.5) --- --- --- and a file toggle.hs, which is: --- --- --- import CpuToggle main = toggle --- --- --- the latter I compile and put something like , ((modm, xK_F11), spawn "/home/thomas/toggle") into my xmonad.hs. Works just fine!! Now, well, I just *really* would like to write someting like import CupToggle ... , ((modm, xK_F11), toggle) instead. How would I need to change the toggle-function in the CpuToggle-Module in order to achieve this? Thanks so much!! Cheers, Thomas

Strange, but it's fixed. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #2 on issue 315 by sean.escriva: Lockup with Xmonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise in -darcs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=315 I haven't made any changes to my copy of the repo but I can pull a fresh copy. darcs pull in the XMonadContrib dir gives: Pulling from "http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib"... No remote changes to pull in! If it will help I pasted the output of: darcs diff --from-patch "Clean keymask before use in XMonad.Prompt" -u here: http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=9894#a9894 This behavior doesn't occur with numlock off, so it's at least related. I'll let you know what happens with a fresh copy of the repo. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #1 on issue 315 by daniel.schoepe: Lockup with Xmonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise in -darcs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=315 Are you sure you are using the latest darcs version? The patch about cleaning the keymask fixed an issue that caused the same symtpoms, when numlock was set. I can't reproduce the problem here. Do you have any other modifiers like numLock set? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
