Mouse bindings doesnt work with numlock on about bspwm

[c00kiemon5ter]

this is actually a bug (or design decision?) with your prefered keybinder (guessing xbindkeeys)

Mouse binds are provided by bspwm

[c00kiemon5ter]

ah, misread that, sorry

[baskerville]

I pushed a workaround in the numlock branch (2a2bdc3). Can you test it?

Numlock branch didnt fix the problem

[baskerville]

I forgot to ungrab (fixed in 9eeb60e), if you set button_modifier in your autostart file, please try again.

Otherwise, I'll make a debug commit so we can understand what's happening under the hood.

That code seems work with Capslock on, but no others

[baskerville]

Please checkout the numlock-debug branch and add

options=('!strip')

to the header of bspwm's PKGBUILD.

Then use your mouse bindings with and without NumLock and send me the relevant lines from bspwm's stdout (the lines starting with "button press").

button press 1 0 0 #normal
button press 1 16 0 # numlock
button press 1 18 0 # numlock and capslock
button press 1 2 0 # capslock

I didnt test scroll lock because I dont have one

[baskerville]

Ok, I see... NumLock is Mod2.
What's the output of bspc get button_modifier?

bspc get button_modifier
mod4

[baskerville]

Should be fixed by 9b23755 (in the numlock branch).
The fix involves two new settings: numlock_modifier and capslock_modifier (the default values should be ok with your setup).

Works

Ok, merged in master.
