Hotkeys handling breaks sometimes

[nikitabobko]

AeroSpace v0.6.1-Beta abcd09d

h_tiles
  window1
  window2 (focused)
  window3

Steps:

1. alt-shift-slash
2. alt-shift-l
3. alt-shift-h
4. alt-shift-l
   Expected:

h_tiles
  window1
  window3
  window2 (focused)

Actual: Ò is typed on step 4 (alt-shift-l)

Workaround: call reload-config

As an alternative for anyone frustrated with this:
I deleted all the keybindings from my Aerospace config, and now I used SKHD to manage my aerospace keybindings. My config below if anyone wants to use it as a starting point:

# This keybinding uses a VIM-inspired but heavily simplified
# set of keys and layers to manipulate windows and workspaces
# using Aerospace.
# I have f16 and f17 bound on my keyboard to easy to press keys.

# === Layers ====================================

# Define the layers, tell sketchybar to show the active layer in
# the taskbar.

:: default : sketchybar --set skhd label="I"
:: active @ : sketchybar --set skhd label="A"

:: focus @  : sketchybar --set skhd label="F"
:: move @ : sketchybar --set skhd label="M"
:: organize @ : sketchybar --set skhd label="O"
:: desktop @ : sketchybar --set skhd label="D"
:: resize @ : sketchybar --set skhd label="R"
:: quick_focus @

# Activate
default < f16 ; active

# Handle returning to default mode
active, move, focus, organize, desktop, resize < escape ; default
active, move, focus, organize, desktop, resize < f16 ; default
active, move, focus, organize, desktop, resize < return ; default


# ==== Focus: Move focus from window to window ================
active < f ; focus

focus < h : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame left
focus < j : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame down
focus < k : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame up
focus < l : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame right

# Non-focus, but useful when in focus mode
focus < x : aerospace close
focus < f : aerospace fullscreen

# Often, you just want to move to the window next to the current one.
# These bindings move you one window, then exit back into 'insert mode'.
default < f17 ; quick_focus
quick_focus < h : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame left; skhd -k 'escape'
quick_focus < j : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame down; skhd -k 'escape'
quick_focus < k : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame up; skhd -k 'escape'
quick_focus < l : aerospace focus --boundaries all-monitors-outer-frame right; skhd -k 'escape'
quick_focus < escape ; default

# Quickly change to different modes from within focus mode
focus < m ; move
focus < o ; organize
focus < d ; desktop
focus < r ; resize

# ==== Move: Move windows both on desktop and across desktops ===
active < m ; move

# Shift-move means join.

# Quickly change to different modes from within move mode
move < f ; focus
move < o ; organize
move < d ; desktop
move < r ; resize

# === Organize: Change aerospace layouts. ========================
# Called organize because (l)ayout is one of the direction keys.
# so you wouldn't be able to switch to this mode from move and focus otherwise
active < o ; organize

organize < t     : aerospace layout tiles
organize < a     : aerospace layout accordion
# (f)ocus is taken for floating, so j/k to 'raise'/'lower'
organize < k     : aerospace layout floating

organize < v     : aerospace layout vertical

# Quickly change to different modes from within organize mode
organize < f ; focus
organize < m ; move
organize < d ; desktop
organize < r ; resize

# === Desktop: switch to different desktops, move desktops across monitors
# I prefer 'desktop' to 'workspace'
active < d ; desktop

desktop < 0x53 : aerospace workspace 1
desktop < 0x54 : aerospace workspace 2
desktop < 0x55 : aerospace workspace 3

# Quickly change to different modes from within desktop mode
desktop < f ; focus

# === Resize: Make windows bigger or smaller ============
active < r ; resize

Should be fixed in 0.8.4-Beta

[yzlnew]

alt-h, alt-shift-1, alt-shift-h, etc still not working for me in 0.8.4-Beta.
alt-1 is working.

[nikitabobko]

alt-h, alt-shift-1, alt-shift-h, etc still not working for me in 0.8.4-Beta.

Please elaborate. What is your config, and what sequence of keys do you press?

[yzlnew]

@nikitabobko Default config from https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/config-examples.html#default-config
These keys just do not work for me. I change alt-h to alt-left, then I can change focus.

[nikitabobko]

1. Please make sure that you don't have any other software running that may intercept global hotkeys (e.g. skhd)
2. Try to reboot

[yzlnew]

@nikitabobko Thanks! Turns out that I forgot to uninstall skhd along with yabai. After a full reboot, working fine now.
