mouseless's Issues

How can we use mouseless with kmonad?

I am already using kmonad, but I want to know if i can use both kmonad and mouseless together.

Using debug mode I can see error "Failed to open /dev/input/by-id/usb-CHESEN_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd: device or resource busy". I guess it is because kmonad is already using it. Any fix for this?

failed to run without root privileges

I have tried to add udev rule:

echo "KERNEL==\"uinput\", GROUP=\"$USER\", MODE:=\"0660\"
KERNEL==\"event*\", GROUP=\"$USER\", NAME=\"input/%k\", MODE=\"660\"" \
| sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-$USER.rules

and add my username into input group:

sudo usermod -aG input $USER

However mouseless still failed to launch with below message:

ERRO[0000] Failed to init the virtual mouse: could not create relative axis input device: could not open device file
ERRO[0000] Exiting

A setting to type an origial key if another key is not pressed after hold the key?

Thank you for this amazing tool! I really enjoy it.

This issue ticket is just for a question or a suggestion for a new feature. I am experimenting with the following setting.

layers:
- name: base
  bindings:
    ...
    j: tap-hold j ; rightshift ; 300
    ...

When the "j" key is pressed longer than 300 ms, but any other keys are pressed after the "j" key, I want to type "j". Is there a way to do it?

I also tried another setting j: tap-hold-next j ; rightshift ; 300 too. I don't understand the difference in the behaviors tap-hold and tap-hold-next in this case.

Failed to read the config file: failed to parse layer 2 : failed to parse the key '_': neither an integer nor a key alias

When running `sudo mouseless -d --config ~/.config/mouseless/config.yaml` the output is the following:

DEBU[0000] Using config file: /home/arcus/.config/mouseless/config.yaml
ERRO[0000] Failed to read the config file: failed to parse layer 2 : failed to parse the key '_': neither an integer nor a key alias
ERRO[0000] Exiting

My system is arch very minimal, i may not have a package needed to run the binary.
Yes, the binary is in the path, the config file is correctly written

The last line seems to be the problem ( `_: rightalt+_` ) idk why, but by commenting that the program seems to run 'correctly'

Bluetooth keyboard not in /dev/input/by-path/ or by-id

I have a bluetooth keyboard that does not show up in /dev/input/by-path/ or by-id at least not with kbd in the name.

Is it possible to connect a Bluetooth keyboard with mouseless?

Thanks for your help!

Ability to use a regular mouse while mouseless is running?

When I run mouseless, I cannot use my regular mouse. I'd like to use this tool as a convenience, but still have access to my mouse. Is this possible?

Missing uinput / faq

Not an issue, but if you don't have /dev/uinput, do "sudo modprobe uinput" and it does the trick

I thought this would help someone if they didn't have /dev/uinput

Start as sudo when on system start

Is there a way to start mouseless on system start without allowing the current user to read keyboard input?

I think allowing user to read keyboard input seems dangerous, since that enables the possiblity of keyloggers. However I do aware that Windows allow user to read keyboard input without elevated previlages. But it seems more secure to only allow elevated program to read keyboard input.

I understand this is not necessarily related to mouseless, but I was wondering if anyone can help me here. And if we were able to find a simple way, maybe we can add it to the readme so that others can use this setup as well.

Here is what I have tried, apparently most people thinkg systemtcl is the modern way to do this. So I created the following file
/etc/systemd/system/mouseless-daemon.service:

[Unit]
Description=Mouseless

[Service]
ExecStartPre=chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mouseless
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mouseless --config /usr/local/share/config/config.yaml

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

However I keep getting the following error in systemctl status mouseless-daemon.service

When running /usr/local/bin/mouseless --config /usr/local/share/config/config.yaml as sudo works perfectly fine.

I was wondering if I can get any help with regard to this.

Binding `\`

Is it possible to bind the \ key? If so what is the text value for it, because \ and backslash don't work.

Map Caplock to Ctrl With ctrl+h, j, k, l` to Move Cursors

Hi, I am very sorry to post a personal setup issue in the issues, but I am at my wit's end here.

Presonally I use caplock as leftctrl, and use capslock+h, j, k, l to move my cursors.

The problem with that setup is that I think of a good setup to do this. Because caplock is performing two different functionality here, the first is toggling the arrows layer, and the second is to act as ctrl.

I have tried to use capslock: multi toggle-layer arrows; leftctrl, but this means if I press capslock+j it would send ctrl+down instead of down.

Is there any fix to let capslock+h, j, k, l to move my cursors and for everything else use caplock as leftctrl?

Tank you SO much!

Not an issue. Just wanted to say thanks! I've been addicted to trackpoints for many years now and all other keyboards are worthless to me. I've tried qmk-compatible keyboards but they are really tedious to configure. mouseless fixes these problems and I can now start playing with new keyboards :D!

ESC going to layer initian, even when I removed the key-combo from config file

Hi. I would like to make the escape key work as usual, while not exiting the mouse layer, but ESC is always going back to the initial layer whenever I press it.
This is my config file:

Can't run without sudo command even with udev rule added

Hey, thanks for the cool program! I'm having troubles making mouseless run without sudo privileges. I ran the command on the readme, rebooted, and when trying to run mouseless it gave me this error.

ERRO[0000] Failed to init the virtual mouse: could not create relative axis input device: could not open device file

Then I tried to manually add the rules, this is the file. 99-seafoam.rules (user is seafoam)
KERNEL=="input", GROUP="seafoam", MODE:="0660" KERNEL=="event*", GROUP="seafoam", NAME="input/%k", MODE="660"
after rebooting, it kept giving me the same error as before. am I missing something?

reduce scroll speed

Is possible to reduce the scroll speed ( the n and p keys) ?

Thanks

Add LICENSE

This is a very trivial request. The reason is because I am packaging this for Nix and generally I need to reference a license to it.

Question regarding: mapping to Numpad Keys

I am trying to modify the config file so, I can use the numpad keys but, I don't know its names.

When I tried to use numbers like: 4, 6, 8, ...
It used the numbers row, not the numpad.

And I tried KP_num like:
KP_4
KP_2
But didn't work.

How can I find keys name of the numpd ?

Thanks in advance.
The tool is great!.

Fail to install mouseless

Hello,

Thanks for the repo. I was before using xmouseless, but with the upgrade of ubuntu to the 22.04 version, I had to rebuilt xmouseless but it did not worked anymore, so I am trying to make mouseless work.

I am quite a novice, and I am trying to figure out how to make mouseless working. I have found my keyboard in "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd so that I replace this on the third line of the config.yaml file given in the configuration (only the third line has changed) :

devices:
# change this to a keyboard device
- "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd"
# this is executed when mouseless starts
# startCommand: ""
# the default speed for mouse movement
baseMouseSpeed: 750.0
# the default speed for scrolling
baseScrollSpeed: 20.0
layers:
# the first layer is active at start
- name: initial
  bindings:
    # when tab is held and another key pressed, activate mouse layer
    tab: tap-hold-next tab ; toggle-layer mouse ; 500
    # when a is held for 300ms, activate mouse layer
    a: tap-hold a ; toggle-layer mouse ; 300
    # right alt key toggles arrows layer
    rightalt: toggle-layer arrows
    # switch escape with capslock
    esc: capslock
    capslock: esc
# a layer for mouse movement
- name: mouse
  # when true, keys that are not mapped keep their original meaning
  passThrough: true
  bindings:
    # quit mouse layer
    q: layer initial
    # keep the mouse layer active
    space: layer mouse
    r: reload-config
    l: move  1  0
    j: move -1  0
    k: move  0  1
    i: move  0 -1
    p: scroll up
    n: scroll down
    leftalt: speed 4.0
    e: speed 0.3
    capslock: speed 0.1
    f: button left
    d: button middle
    s: button right
    # move to the top left corner
    k0: "exec xdotool mousemove 0 0"
# another layer for arrows and some other keys

  passThrough: true
  bindings:
    e: up
    s: left
    d: down
    f: right
    q: esc
    w: backspace
    r: delete
    v: enter

It is located in ~/.config/mouseless.

Since sudo mouseless --config ~/.config/mouseless/config.yaml is returning mouseless: command not found, I am guessing I have to install mouseless before, so that I ran ./mouseless when I am on the dist directory downloaded previsouly, but it is giving me the following error:

ERRO[0000] Failed to init the virtual mouse: could not create relative axis input device: could not open device file
Can anyone help me ?

Thanks for your help.

Pointer moves in fixed directions and with fixed set of speed

Following are the problems that i have faced using this software:

the pointer moves in only 8 fixed directions, if i had my target very close to me and somewhere between these 8 possible directions, there's no way for my pointer to reach there without juggling around a few times.
speed of the pointer is fixed i.e. can only take some discrete values and cannot be changed gradually, no matter how hard i try pressing the "e" key to slow it down as it approaches the target, i fail to press it at the right moment so that i may land exactly on my target, making it a bit finicky to use

I just love this software and the concept behind it but was facing these issues lately, i wanted it to be a complete replacement to my mouse. I understand that some of the issues cannot be mitigated easily because of how this software is designed, i just wanted to make sure if i am using it right or not. Was this able to replace your mouse in your setup?

I am using the default config [tried changing it as well but didn't help much]

Mouseless making my keys slower

i have set my keyboard to register key taps faster (xset r rate 250 35), but when i run mouseless, it gets reverted back to the default slower speed. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks :)

Possible to use XF86Back or something similar

I have setup some control for going foward/back in my browser, but often use different browsers means that it only works on one and not both.

Getting "Back" or "XF86Back" would solve that. I have tried both and also "button back" but none of then are recognised by mouseless.

Question regarding mouse layer activation

I am new to mouseless and am using the default config in the readme file. When I am holding down the tab key for example and press the mouse layer keys the mouse moves as expected.

However, if I hold a, for example, and try to use those same keys the mouse layer never "toggles" on.

My question is what would the syntax be for me to bind a key, for example "capslock", so when I press that key it turns the mouse layer on and if I press it again "toggles" it off? If there is a another key that is a simpler example then capslock no worries just curious.

Thanks in advance as holding down tab isn't the easiest with some key presses :) .

Unexpected acceleration on diagonal movement

When moving the mouse pointer diagonally, e.g. with speed 1 to the right and 1 upwards, the total speed is not sqrt(2) as expected, but somewhat higher, so that the speed to the right is actually also higher than 1. At least this is the case for relatively slow speeds.

The cause is that mouseless is producing the same events as a physical mouse, and the speed of the pointer usually is not linear to the speed of a mouse, one can see in this diagram how they are related (the different curves show different settings):
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/pointer-acceleration.html#ptraccel-linear

It is generally possible to make this relation linear by configuration, but unclear whether it can be done independently of the display server (e.g. Xorg or Wayland), which would be preferable.

Key-combo not working?

Perhaps I have misunderstood something about the key-combo syntax, but I had thought that i could activate a layer holding down multiple keys like this:

- name: initial
  bindings:
    leftmeta+leftalt: tap-hold-next leftmeta+leftalt; toggle-layer mouse ; 300

But I can't get that working. (Both leftmeta and leftalt work fine seperately)

config.yaml file not found

I have the config.yaml file in the right place saved. But I am still getting this error.

Enabling two keyboard at the same time

Hello,

Thanks for mouseless, it is great.

I am getting a new split keyboard and as a result, my OS see 2 differents keyboard for the split keyboard. Do you know if I can change something in the config.yaml file so that it takes both keyboards ? Something like

devices: 
- PATH/TO/KEYBOARD1
- PATH/TO/KEYBOARD2

Thanks :)

Mouse acceleration

The mouse cursor currently moves at a constant speed. The speed may be too slow for moving the cursor longer distances, and too fast to get the precision you need. It's possible to modify the speed if you bind the speed function to a modifier key, but that is not always so convenient to use.

I propose modifying the cursor's speed over time, so it accelerates in the direction you are pressing (a bit like Super Mario and other user-controlled objects in games).

I have a working implementation of this in a branch.
I'm going to play around with it for a while to feel if it can be improved. I'm considering retardation as well, so the cursor doesn't stop immediately when you release the key.

Can't run mouseless: "Device or resource busy"

Hi! First of all, thanks for your new program! I've been using (and proselytizing about) xmouseless for a while now, and am very happy with it. :)

At the same time, I've been wanting to switch to Wayland on KDE — since you announced on xmouless's issue list that you'd make a replacement that runs on Wayland, I've been enthusiastically waiting for it.

However, I wasn't able to run it.
Apparently, my system blocks the device from being used:

ls /dev/input/by-id/*kbd* ; ls /dev/input/by-path/*kbd* gives me:

/dev/input/by-id/usb-413c_Dell_KB216_Wired_Keyboard-event-kbd
/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:0a:00.3-usb-0:4:1.0-event-kbd

which is linked/mapped to event3 (i.e. /dev/input/event3)

Either sudo lsof /dev/input/by-id/usb-413c_Dell_KB216_Wired_Keyboard-event-kbd or sudo lsof /dev/input/event3 gives me something like:

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
systemd     1 root  105u   CHR  13,67      0t0  611 /dev/input/by-id/../event3

systemd-l 531 root   28u   CHR  13,67      0t0  611 /dev/input/by-id/../event3
kwin_wayl 863  aug   32u   CHR  13,67      0t0  611 /dev/input/by-id/../event3

(the truncated commands should be kwin_wayland and systemd-logind, I think)
~~If I had to guess — but I don't really know about any of this — kwin_wayland would be the "culprit"?~~
EDIT: got the same problem on X11. So I've edited the issue title to not include "Wayland".

DEBU[0000] Failed to open /dev/input/by-id/usb-413c_Dell_KB216_Wired_Keyboard-event-kbd: device or resource busy 
ERRO[0000] Execution of start command failed: exit status 5

Finally, I also tried running without root privileges, but the debug message is the same as with sudo. My user is aug, so the file is /etc/udev/rules.d/99-aug.rules, with only this as content:

KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="aug", MODE:="0660"    
KERNEL=="event*", GROUP="aug", NAME="input/%k", MODE="660"

Please let me know if this is useful information, or the right place to send it.
Thanks!

I need vim functionality to save the position

I want to have a mode for remembering the cursor position (preferably three: horizontal, vertical and both) and a mode for restoring the position. Like the standard " m " and " ' " in vim. Your application turned out to be convenient for everyday use, but it took a relatively long time to aim the cursor at small panels or timeline videos.

I have 4*4 keys to teleport the cursor, as in keynav/keynavish/warpd, but this is too universal a solution. I would like to record positions on the fly without a hardcode.

Thanks, mouseless works stably and it is much better than keynav/keynavish/warpd/xmouseless. What an irony, I tried mouseless the last of such programs.

Three commands sequentially?

I was pleased that there is a meta action "multi", but I could not cover more than two actions (even by embedding one operator into another).

Thank you for getting rid of the mouse!

Toggle-layer from toggled layer?

See line 57. I noticed that "toggle-layer can only work if not already enabled. Being on a layer enabled with the "toggle-layer", we cannot use this function until we return to the previous layer.

I liked that thanks to mouseless, alt is no longer sent to other programs. Such a side effect. But I use shortcuts in i3wm, so in some cases i still have to send alt (for example, in line 47 I launch the browser). When i3wm notises a known shortcut, it doesn't skip alt either, so everything is fine, and libre office calc doesn't bother me with focusing on the menu anymore. :)

Unfortunately, there are shortcuts of the type "meta+alt+a", which cannot be bound in mouseless yet. I want to be able to move from the alt and meta layers to the altmeta layer, after which I could release one of the keys and end up in one of the layers. After releasing the next key, we would turn on the initial layer (and not always standard named "initial").

The key release event would partially solve the problem, but it probably does not fit into the mouseless concept. An exit event from a layer enabled by "toggle-layer" would also partially solve the problem. However, I would like to entrust the layer management to mouseless.

Please Make an AUR build

I'm not sure what distro you use, but AUR could reach more users.

Using numbers needs to be +1

I use the the config below and wanted to use 1-4 for navigating tabs in my browser. However, I wanted 1 to be back, but mouseless needs to be configured with 2 before the command is bound to 1. Therefore, the command bound to 5 is on 4 and 3 on 2. So, all the keys are +1.

mouseless's Issues

When running sudo mouseless -d --config ~/.config/mouseless/config.yaml the output is the following:

The last line seems to be the problem ( _: rightalt+_ ) idk why, but by commenting that the program seems to run 'correctly'

I understand this is not necessarily related to mouseless, but I was wondering if anyone can help me here. And if we were able to find a simple way, maybe we can add it to the readme so that others can use this setup as well.
