 Software News : Chat client Pidgin 2.13.0 for AmiCygnix releasedThanks for the new software package. Great job. By the way, I will report one small problem regarding the ALT + L keyboard shortcut. In Polish keyboard this gives the character "Ł". Unfortunately, when using Dynamic Window Manager it cannot be entered. So I still have to use openbox (here "Ł" works ok).

The problem will be hard to find as I have not much knowledge about the things a window manager is able to do. But let's see... Thanks for the hint and have fun with Pidgin! |

Re: Software News : Chat client Pidgin 2.13.0 for AmiCygn... I think the problem is some keyboard shortcut in Dynamic Windows Manager, because in the case of Claws Mail the combination of ALT + L increases my editor area. You would probably need to remove or redefine this shortcut.

Re: Software News : Chat client Pidgin 2.13.0 for AmiCygn... @mufa
Yes, you're right - the problem are the shortcuts. I've looked into the dwm man file and there are following shortcuts: ALT + key ALT + SHIFT + key ALT + CTRL + key ALT + SHIFT + CTRL + key All qualifiers are hardcodes into the binary. We must replace the "ALT + key" shortcuts or replace the ALT qualifier. Hmm - maybe we should use the meta qualifier (window / amiga key) |

Re: Software News : Chat client Pidgin 2.13.0 for AmiCygn... @ mufa
As a workaround you could remove the qualifier with this command: xmodmap -display localhost:1 -e "clear Mod1" (type into a normal amiga shell) Where "1" must be the desired display number (see window title). This qualifier definition is only used by plain X11 programs, so it should not be a problem. Of course shortcuts for dwm do not work anymore. If this helps, I will find a way to make this permanent. |

Re: Chat client Pidgin 2.13.0 for AmiCygnix released Very nice.
If you feel bored someday or have too much spare time maybe you can take a look at the slack plugin and see if it's possible to port it? :) https://github.com/dylex/slack-libpurple |

Re: Chat client Pidgin 2.13.0 for AmiCygnix released @smf
I will give it a try  @mufa Great! To make this permanent, please download this archive: http://www.amicygnix.de/files/dwm-fix.lha Unpack the archive and: * Copy the file ".xmodmaprc" to "Cygnix:Home/root" * Replace the file "Execute_Standalone.bat" in "Cygnix:S" This replaces the qualifier "ALT" with "Meta left" (left Amiga or Windows key), so you can still use the dwm shortcuts with this qualifier. If you don't want this, comment out the line "add Mod1 = Meta_L" with an "!" in the file ".xmodmaprc". I think I will add this to my next AmiCygnix update. |
