The flush-char handling backspaced and re-typed the already-on-screen
word before/around the forwarded space. In the grabbed-device injection
path this raced against the separately-forwarded space, eating spaces
and merging finished words (e.g. "mất sự" -> "mấtsự",
"đầu ngã xuống" -> "đầungãxuống").
The composed word is already correct on screen, so a non-macro flush
now finalizes state without backspace+retype:
- engine: process_key returns None on flush (macros still Replace)
- daemon replay_and_inject: just types the flush char
- daemon did_flush branch: clears state without retyping
Add regression tests for flush behavior and multi-word spacing.

When Vietnamese mode is on, the engine transformed every word including
English (test->tét, cargo->cảgo, status->státu). This wires up the
previously-dead english.rs dictionary and spelling.rs validator so that on
word commit, words that are clearly English or not phonologically valid
Vietnamese are reverted to the raw keystrokes typed. Genuine Vietnamese
(tiếng, việt, quả) is kept. Gated by the existing [auto_restore] enabled
config (default on).

- Engine no longer includes flush char in Replace insert text
- Daemon forwards raw flush key (space/enter/etc) after injection
- Clipboard paste only contains the word, not trailing whitespace
- Fixes 'thịtrâm' → 'thị trâm' (space reliably arrives via raw forward)
- skip_count=3 applied only to auto-repeat events, never to press/release
- Prevents rrrrrrrrr while letting spacebar and real typing through
- Reverted broken drain approach that corrupted source file
- After each Unicode injection, skip next 10 events (auto-repeat backlog)
- Prevents 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrr' and '555555' from auto-repeat during injection delay
- Also fixes Ctrl+V/Ctrl+C clipboard conflict during injection window
CHANGELOG: document v0.1.1 Telex fixes, injection improvements, AppImage flags
Only pure control keys (f,s,r,x,j,w) should be consumed silently.
Base letters used in double-letter marks (aa→â, ee→ê, etc.)
are normal typing keys that must be forwarded when no mark triggers.
Removed uppercase variants too — consolidated with to_ascii_lowercase().
- Fix Xutf8LookupString signature (missing XIC param caused all keys to map to \0)
- Port bamboo-core Vietnamese engine to Rust (bamboo.rs, input_method.rs)
- Flexible backtracking for mark/tone keys (scan up to 5 chars back)
- Correct tone placement for io, uâ, yê clusters
- Evdev capture preferred over X11 XRecord (more reliable)
- Uinput injection with correct Linux keycodes
- Vietnamese Unicode via clipboard paste + trailing ASCII via uinput
- Persistent X11 connection for Ctrl+V (no per-call dlopen overhead)
- Consume stale VNI/Telex control keys when no match found
- Fix execute_commands backspace count for evdev grabbing path
- Add vietc-uinputd privileged injection daemon
- AppImage: bundle uinputd, preserve LD_LIBRARY_PATH, fix xrecord build flags
- Remove old generated test files, add 63 focused engine tests
- Add aggressive drain loop in wait_for_event() when SKIP_RECORD_EVENTS
is true: poll 5ms + drain, repeat until quiet (up to 50ms). This closes
the timing gap where injected events arrived after drain_pipe returned
but before the flag was cleared in the next iteration.
- Remove verbose debug eprintln!/log_info from daemon (process_key,
replay, inject, toggle, window change, etc.)
- Add vietc-xrecord.c (C helper with XRecordEnableContext blocking mode)
- Update build-appimage.sh to compile and bundle C helper
XGrabKeyboard on the same display as XRecord breaks event delivery.
XRecord captures events globally without any grab needed.
Also: use XPending() before select() to check Xlib internal buffer,
and add XFlush before XRecordProcessReplies after select().
XPending returned 0 even with active keyboard grab. Using select() on
the X11 connection file descriptor with 100ms timeout to reliably detect
when the X server sends events. Also adds XSelectInput on root window
and XConnectionNumber for the fd.
- Use XPending() to check for events before XNextEvent (non-blocking)
- Add is_grabbed() and has_pending_events() public methods
- Auto re-grab keyboard when grab is silently lost (tray, WM focus)
- Fixes AppImage daemon receiving zero keystroke events
When grab is enabled, the physical key is intercepted by evdev grab.
The engine's pop() updates the buffer but the KEY_BACKSPACE was never
injected — send_char('\x08') can't emit a keycode and fell through to
paste_string. Now backspace injects KEY_BACKSPACE press+release via
uinput directly.
- Start ydotoold automatically so ydotool can handle Vietnamese chars
- Fix xclip clipboard to run as SUDO_USER when daemon is root
- Add detailed input logging for easier debugging
- AppRun no longer sets WAYLAND_DISPLAY on X11 (checks for wayland socket)
- execute_commands now uses ydotool for both backspaces+text (same device)
- Merged execute_commands and execute_commands_with_grab into one function
- grab defaults to true in AppImage config
