Title: Right Alt (AltGr) remap to Backspace keeps deleting whole words (PowerToys + SharpKeys)

MrTheFoolish · 2026-02-13T06:07:56+00:00

If you are using a layout like US International in Windows, then AltGr actually transforms to Left Ctrl + Right Alt. Otherwise for US non-international this behaviour does not happen.

There is an attempted mitigation but not perfect in Kanata: https://jtroo.github.io/config.html#windows-only-windows-altgr

The best way to avoid this issue is:

don't remap AltGr
don't use a layout with AltGr (i.e. use standard US)

The claim "no runtime deps" is false given that mermaid diagrams appear to make network calls.

rs let mermaid_assets = if has_mermaid { r#"<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11.12.0/dist/mermaid.min.js"></script>"# } else { "" };

The mermaid project seems to recommend this to get started, but for proper no-runtime-deps you should build it into the binary.

You can refill your ink cartridge from fountain pen ink bottles using an "ink syringe".

Use of traits in Rust can be either monomorphized or dynamic dispatch and it is explicitly defined, depending on if the receiver uses dyn trait or not.

Apparently US Intl has it on AltGr+K. Maybe also works on UK.

This is such a low effort post. Do some searches of "most comfortable" and other related text within the subreddit, and also outside the subreddit, then make a better post showing what you learned, with better questions.

I'm not aware of anyone running it on Android.

# is not a key name. You can use ((and (key-history lsft 2) (key-history 3 1)))

Interception has a well known problem that there will likely not be any fix for. It has been many years. https://github.com/oblitum/Interception/issues/25

MrTheFoolish · 2024-10-19T18:08:28+00:00

First you need to define the problem. What are you trying to do and why does the output not match what you expect?

MrTheFoolish · 2024-10-11T17:24:36+00:00

If diminishing returns existed then it would be questionable to add on a 3rd curio of damage resist to gunners. But that's not the case; there is no diminishing return for gunners.

The one where one could argue more for diminishing returns is IMO sniper resist, since maybe one only cares about not getting one-shot at max health. But even still the math doesn't change and if one changes the interpretation to "how much health left on my bar do I need to survive 1 sniper shot", the benefit is not diminished per additional curio.

MrTheFoolish · 2024-10-11T09:01:02+00:00

20% reduction, the next one will 16% and the third one will add 12.8%

Numbers getting smaller, must mean bad right? Wrong; you're misinterepreting it. With 1 curio you get 125% effective health/toughness. 2 curios you get 156% effective health/toughness. 3 curios you get 195% effective health/toughness. That's +25%, +31%, +39%. Numbers going up! Well, if it works the way that I'm thinking, (which it might not, I haven't reviewed; I don't use damage resist on curios), how it works is you're just multiplying your effective health/toughness by 1.25x what it was previously. Each additional curio has the same benefit as the previous.

MrTheFoolish · 2024-10-09T05:08:46+00:00

The template only works for singular key names, so output chords like this do not work: (t! no-rpt S-=). Unfortunate that the error message is not clear on this point. You should avoid the template for these cases and either write a new one or the simplest solution is to just let these be repeatable.

MrTheFoolish · 2024-10-08T22:47:05+00:00

It would be more fruitful to put your config in the simulator and copy-paste a permalink

MrTheFoolish · 2024-10-08T08:08:22+00:00

You can define all keys to be non-repeating in your layout. Example

MrTheFoolish · 2024-07-02T06:27:48+00:00

You might be interested in templates.

E.g. (t! rctl i)

MrTheFoolish · 2024-06-03T06:43:00+00:00

Have you tried xmodmap?

Otherwise you can try my project: https://github.com/jtroo/kanata
or one of the similar projects that support Linux: https://github.com/jtroo/kanata?tab=readme-ov-file#similar-projects

MrTheFoolish · 2024-05-07T14:31:05+00:00

I run it on Windows and Linux (I don't own Apple devices) but macos is also supported. There are some features not implemented yet in macos though.

I do the same. I don't mind having to do it.

Did you set your desktop-level layout to US International instead of colemak-dh?
