Touchscreen issues

[Eliiia]

Hi!

Your script has worked for me perfectly in the past; on KDE, if I remember right.
I installed your script earlier today on GNOME and after a reboot noticed my touchscreen did not work other than gestures. Using your install script's -r fixed the issues after a reboot. GNOME also kept enabling some sort of autocomplete feature for text at random, and I'm not even sure how you enable/disable it on normal terms - couldn't find anything in accessibility settings or anyone talking about it.

I'm on a Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 AMD, running GNOME 46.5 on Fedora 40.

Please let me know if you need any other details or need me to re-attempt! I imagine this is hard to debug (especially without a touchscreen device), but thought I would share these issues nonetheless just in case.

Thank you for all your work on this in the first place :)

Hiya!

I'm on a ThinkPad too, but I haven't used the XKB files for a while, and I haven't used later iterations of GNOME nor Wayland.

Therefore, I'm not entirely sure what's going on here but it does look like similar problems in the past. The issue would be that some fancy shortcuts are triggered. But what? I know we've had some issues with three-finger gestures in the past.

Just to be clear: Do you actually have a touchscreen, or did you mean the Thinkpad's touchpad?

Try enabling the BigBag without Extend as a first debugging step? That is, unset the options then add back only what you need there without the "misc:extend,lv5:caps_switch_lock" part. On second thought, leave out the "compose:menu" part too.

If that is the issue, you could try commenting out the fkey include in the symbols/extend file to see if that helps.

Hi! Yes, I'm talking about the touchscreen, not the touchpad. I'll try your suggestion out a little later!

I ran the install script with no arguments then setxkbmap -v 9 -option "" .. Nothing was broken before a reboot, except that my keyboard stopped working for a very scary 30 seconds or so, however strangely I can still enable Extend through GNOME Tweaks! Which seems to work almost perfectly, ignoring the other issues. After a reboot, it is the same issue.

Somewhat unrelated, but before I did this I tried to play a game and noticed that, even on a qwerty layout enabled with bigbag supposedly reverted, the game (well, games - Satisfactory and King of the Hat) seemed to think I was on colemak in terms of controls. Is this intended/expected?

As before, touchscreen works again after reverting and rebooting!
