Preamble: I built this on Lua 5.4.3, since that's what I have available. On the plus side, everything works but this.

I'd thought it was keymapping, but the strace makes me second guess that.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Build and install Hawck on FC34
2. Run scripts with capital letters

Expected behavior It should output the text in the file as written.

Actual behavior It drops capital letters (among other things)

In short:

nc ~/.config$ cat ~/.config/hawck/scripts/macro_test.hwk 
local macro_test = "Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Hh Ii JJ"
ctrl + alt + key "o" => write(macro_test)
nc ~/.config$ a b c d e f h i a b c d e f h i ^C    # this is execution of the macro
nc ~/.config$ journalctl --user -u hawck-macrod --no-pager | tail

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Distro: Fedora 34
• Version: 0.7.1 from git
• Keymap: I've tried "no" and "us" and they appear to be loading per the strace
• Keyboard: USB and laptop built-in
• Kernel 5.11.20-300.fc34.x86_64
• Lua 5.4.3

Fyi I was facing too many issues with 21.04 which were interupting work so I rolled back to 20.04. I have gone through the installation steps on 20.04 and still hit the same problem. Here's the output from tree.

3 directories, 7 files

So have I. removing "-l init" from hawck-add kind of fixes it, but then runs into another issue with broken symlinks and trying to find lua.lua in "~/.local/share/hawck/scripts/<SCRIPT.lua>/" treating it as if it were a directory. something must've broken pretty badly. This is on 20.04 btw.

Hi there, I have encountered an issue with Lua dependencies whilst following the installation and testing steps in the README on an Ubuntu 21.04 system.

Below are the commands executed

cd /usr/local/src
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/snyball/Hawck.git
cd Hawck
pkexec xargs apt -y install < bin/dependencies/debian-deps.txt
./install.sh

At this point installation appears to be successful: I can run hawck-add with no arguments which displays the usage message. Now I attempt to follow the testing instructions as below

sudo setfacl -m 'g:uinput:rw' /dev/uinput
sudo systemctl start hawck-inputd
hawck-macrod
vim ~/.config/hawck/scripts/example.hwk
hawck-add ~/.config/hawck/scripts/example.hwk

When executing the hawck-add command above I get the following error

$ hawck-add ~/.config/hawck/scripts/example.hwk

Lua is new to me. I attempted to find a solution to this error by searching google but didn't see anything helpful. I instaled luarocks and attempted to install the missing init module; however, no such module exists.

Perhaps I've made a mistake which is obvious to someone more versed in Lua. Any assistance with getting hawck running on Ubuntu 21.04 would be much appreciated. I'm hoping it can replace AutoHotkey in Wayland on Ubuntu 21.04.

Hi! I'm trying to find a simple tool to remap a key combination (for example super+c to ctrl+shift+c) N:N mapping. I've found https://github.com/philipl/evdevremapkeys and https://github.com/autokey/autokey. Whats the pros cons compared to Hawck?

I can do this with autokey send_keys, but Ubuntu intercepts a lot of the commands (for example commands with super+ etc). Is it better for me to use Hawck here? Can I for example remap a key to mousewheel?
