EvDev | Full-Featured Dockerized Development Environment

I want to create one .exe file from the Sunshine GitHub program, I'm new to Cmake and I build that program with its help

I ran into a problem with my keyboard lately, my - and = stopped working and I manually remapped the two keys to PgUp and PgDn by editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev. Everything works fine but the problem is that vscode still recognizes these two keys as Page-Up and Page-Down while other editors respect my new config. The question is "How do I make vscode adapt to my new configuration"?.

Thanks in advance

I am using read_loop() from python-evdev to capture the codes from an ir remote control. Can anybody tell me how to break out of the loop when the codes from a button are received and the button no longer is pressed?

I am unable to use QGamepad in QML under Linux.

By "unable" I mean no gamepad signal is emitted (button pressed...)

Configuration:

• Ubuntu 20.04
• Qt 5.15
• Logitech Gamepad F310

Gamepad is well recognized by Ubuntu:

• dmesg gives:

usb 1-1.6: Product: Gamepad F310
input: Logitech Gamepad F310 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.6/1-1.6:1.0/input/input26

• jstest-gtk recognizes gamepad well:

Logitech Gamepad F310
Device: /dev/input/js0 and is responsive when pressing buttons

Sample QML code:

I am trying the get a usb barcode reader input in python so I used this code

A python evdev device has a .grab() function that prevents other processes from getting input events on the device. Is there any way to limit this to specific events from a device?

For my example, if I .grab() a pen input device that has pressure sensitivity and tilt and 2 click buttons on the side, how would I 'grab' ONLY the 2 click buttons but let the rest of the input (the tip, pressure sensitivity and tilt) be caught by the rest of the system as normal?

One of my pen buttons is normally a right click mouse event. I want to make it do something else but it still pops up the right click menu so I'm trying to figure out how to stop that.

I tried doing the grab and ungrab when the event occurs. Like event > grab > do my stuff > ungrab. But that is obviously too late and the OS still pops up the menu.

I tried doing the full grab, then in the event loop if it is a button press do my stuff, otherwise create a UInput event injection by just passing the event back to the system. This was a bit of a tangled mess. Permissions are required. When I finally got past that, the movement was offset and the pressure/tilt wasn't working... I think it is something to do with the DigiMend driver that actually makes that stuff work and/or xinput settings I have to pass to calibrate the tablet. But I'm not interested in writing all the pressure/tilt functionality from scratch or anything like that, so I need the DigiMend stuff to work as normal. So I gave up on this idea for now.

The only other thought I had was figure out why the OS defaults to the behavior it does and see if I can just manually disable the actions (i.e. Why does it think that button is a right mouse click and make it think that button is nothing instead.)

So I guess this is a 3 level question.

1. Can I achieve the the grab functionality on select events instead of the device as a whole?
2. If the passthrough idea was better, is there a way to achieve this without having to do any permission modifications and be able to pass the exact event (i.e. no offset and such that I experienced?)
3. If evdev does not have this ability or it'd be easier to do in another way, like disabling the defaults for the pen in the OS somehow, I am open to suggestions. I am using Kubuntu 20.04 if that helps.

Any help would be appreciated, let me know if more info is needed, thanks in advance!

DESCRIPTION

I use the Kivy framework and run a script in Python 3 that reads the input from a HID device. The device is a bar code scanner and simulates a keyboard.

PROBLEM

The script opens a popup and the bar reading procedure in background, both at the same time. Every attempt to read the bar code I have to be in the active window. In my case this is the prompt (console). This means I havo to click on the console window and only then the reader works. This happens regardless of how I call the reading procedure from the main script (method, thread, subprocess, Clock.schedule_once). How can I get the input outside the prompt window e.g. in the main kivy gui outside the console?

These other posts did help but did not provide an answer:

1. How can I get a String from HID device in Python with evdev?
2. python :Read from a USB HID device
3. How can I get a String from HID device in Python with evdev?
4. Read HID input while window is "out of focus" in Python

CODE

Using str = input("") as subprocess:

I wish to transpose some words in a line using output from one command piped to another. Given these lines of output:
