Lid Switch

[JkBoyo]

Evening!
I love kanata as it has allowed me to get modtap functionality on a keyboard that has shoddy firmware and on my laptop easily.
I am however running into trouble while configuring hyprland on my fw13.

I've set a rule that says when the lidswitch turns on vs off that the laptop monitor turns off and on respectively.

This function works with kanata specifically disabled.

When I have kanata turned on any keypress seems to trigger overriding the lidswitch and triggers the rule re-enabling the monitor.

It seems like it has something to do with kanata since the behavior ceased upon turning this service off I just really like modding my caps key and am scared of losing that. Is this a feature I can configure to allow for this workflow or am I gonna be stuck with this?

Logs showing the input event that triggers the lidswitch without moving the lid shown below.

I'm assuming whatever libinput event 5 resume touchpad is causes the laptop to freak out and think I'm using the laptop keyboard so it must have a faulty signal or something of the like.

Hey there! Figured out that this config option fixed the issue because by saying it was the other thing I was activating something on the system that tricked it into thinking the touch-pad needs re-enabled. When that happened then the system also software bypassed the lid sensor and re-enabled the screen based on my hyprland config. Anyways hope this can help someone else!

This was very helpful, thank you. I was having sort of the same issues with my Lenovo X1. Every key stroke would turn on the laptop monitor even if the lid was closed.

Adding linux-output-device-bus-type to my configuration solved the issue.

(defcfg
  linux-output-device-bus-type USB
