2nd call to WORD-completion eats command line about autocomplete-all-the-things

[vifon]

I could not reproduce it. Can you provide some more information?

Does calling perl:aAtt:undo in the last step instead of WORD-complete erase the characters too?

[Lompik]

• In Step 3, when hitting the the WORD-complete key I see highligh showing on comple1.
• Calling perl:aTT:undo in Step 2 between <C-M-/> and Enter
• Calling perl:aTT:undo in Step 3 before <C-M-/> erase the characters too

The only tweak i did in source file was to use $char_class_before = '\b'; instead of "\s" for the WORD-complete. Is it reproducible with that tweak ?

[vifon]

It seems $self->{last_word} is not resetting correctly. And it is done in the leave() function called from conditional_leave(). I still can't reproduce it, sadly. You could try to add a few warn statements to see what is being evaluated (and when) and what is not. Run urxvt from a terminal (even from another urxvt) and the output from warns should be there.

[Lompik]

Thanks !

it seems like conditional_leave never enters the if confition as $event->{'state'} is always >2 (ie in the 16..25 range) . I'm not sure where that variable comes from though.

[vifon]

Maybe @seletskiy will be able to help, as he was the one that added this check. All I know about this variable is what he has described in this pull request: #9.

If you use urxvt pre-9.21, you may try using the older plugin version.

[Lompik]

Alright so this the values for the event->{'state'} :

# state bitmask: Shift = 1, Ctrl = 4, Alt = 8

But for unknown reason, on my system $event->{'state'} has 16 by default. So I changed the if condition as so :

if (($event->{'state'} & 14) < 2 &&

And issue is solved. I'm not sure why i have this weird value though. I can create a pull request if you see fit.

@Lompik: do you have secondary keyboard layout? If so, then state value can depends on what keyboard layout is now active.

[Lompik]

@seletskiy I have a modified xmodmap, I disabled caps-lock and move Control to caps . But not sure what you mean by secondary keyboard layout. It's probably this issue affects only me.

[seletskiy]

@Lompik: according to /usr/include/X11/X.h mask 16 = 1 << 4 stands for Mod2. Mod2 is a NumLock by default, check NumLock state, then.

[Lompik]

@seletskiy you're right. Disabling numlock gets me the Shift = 1, Ctrl = 4, Alt = 8 values as initially expected. Are you guys not using Numlock ?

[vifon]

Makes sense. Thanks a lot, guys. I'll fix it when I get back from work. I was going to rewrite that part anyway (there are issues with using ctrl/alt+something right after using the completion).

Are you guys not using Numlock?

Not really. I don't even have a numpad.
