New generated incomplete config file

Dear community,

i3-config-wizard is a tool of x11-wm/i3 to generate a default configuration file. The last lines of a newly generated file end with

# alternatively, you can use the cursor keys:
bindsym $mod+ISO_Level3_Shift focus left
bindsym $mod+Super_R focus down
bindsym $mod+Print focus up

As far as I remember previously generated files have had much more default lines. On https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/54290/#post-314824 problems about restarting i3 are reported.

An error message on my system is as below:
i3-config-wizard: xkb_keymap_key_get_syms_by_level returned no symbols for keycode 114
I am not sure if this is related to the problem or not.

Thank you for your kind consideration!

Kind regards,
Christoph Brinkhaus

Old working config file
Comment 2 c.brinkhaus 2016-03-16 20:15:04 UTC
Dear Baptiste,

I have digged a little bit and compared the lines where the incomplete config ends with similar lines in an older configuration and in i3.config.keycodes.

i3.config.keycodes:
# alternatively, you can use the cursor keys:
bindcode $mod+Shift+113 move left
bindcode $mod+Shift+116 move down
bindcode $mod+Shift+111 move up
bindcode $mod+Shift+114 move right

working config
# alternatively, you can use the cursor keys:
bindsym $mod+ISO_Level3_Shift focus left
bindsym $mod+Super_R focus down
bindsym $mod+Print focus up
bindsym $mod+(null) focus right

Therefore I guess that a new version of i3-config-wizard might not catch the missing keycode. It seems to me that an older version replaced whe missing key by (null). The new version just stops at an undefined keymap entry.

Kind regards,
Christoph Brinkhaus

Please see https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2141.
The behaviour has already been detected by the i3 community.

Thanks very much for the report and sorry for the late reply.

I will have a look in a few days as I'm very busy now (sorry)

[patch] Existing keysyms are translated - others are copied

Dear Baptiste,

please find attached a patch which works for me.
The modifications are:

1) Change the error to a print to continue operation.
2) In case of a missing key code just insert the code
into the config file instead of the description.

This is the first patch file in x11-wm/i3. May be therefore
svnlite-diff gives no output. I have no idea. Therefore I
attached the patch only.

[patch] Existing keysyms are translated - others are copied - svndiff

Dear Baptiste,

please find attached the svndiff.
Unfortunately it took me some time to find the description how to track changes. Finally I found it well documented in the Porters Handbook. What a surprise;-).
I did not mark the patch file itself as obsolete because there are some lines at the bottom of the svn diff file which make me unsure.

Kind regards,
Christoph
