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
