Swapping to keys works in some programs, but not in others

[littlesandra88]

keyd works perfectly for me in some programs such a gnome-terminal and Chrome, but almost works in geeque, where pagedown and end is reverse of what I want.

$ cat /etc/keyd/default.conf
[ids]
*
[main]
capslock = noop
insert = delete
delete = home
home = pageup
pageup = noop 
pagedown = end
end = pagedown
grave = 0

I suppose the problem is related to swapping two keys:

pagedown = end
end = pagedown

The layout I am going for is:

delete |  pageup  | noop
------------------------
 home  | pagedown | end

Using keyd v2.5.0 () on ArchLinux.

The input should be the same for all applications (which you can verify by looking at the output of keyd monitor). If you want pagedown to do something else for a specific application, you should look at keyd-application-mapper.

Ok, I would like it to be the same for all applications.

Is there a debug log I somehow can extract and attach here?

When you say 'the same for all applications', do you mean that you want to reverse how geeque responds to pageup/pagedown keypress events? Because that would still be application-specific, ie a job for keyd-application-mapper.

Or do you mean to say - and this sounds unlikely - that geeque somehow receives keys that are different from other applications when keyd is running?

Is there a debug log I somehow can extract and attach here?

journalctl -u keyd if you are on a systemd system.
