TriggerHappy Will Not Trigger When There Are Multiple Key Combinations

[jeangv]

Hello,

I finally got TriggerHappy working great on my Raspberry Pi but I simply cannot get it to work for anything but a single key press. It works great for example:

KEY_1 1 {Command Here}

or

KEY_F1 1 {Command Here}

but it never works for anything with combination of keys for example:

KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_1 1 {Command Here}

if the keys ever have any kind of key combination, it does not work.

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Confusingly, as shown in the example KEY_VOLUMEUP+KEY_LEFTSHIFT 1 /usr/bin/amixer set Master 15%+, the modifier has to come after the key. KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_1 should be KEY_1+KEY_LEFTCTRL.

Also, for troubleshooting, make sure your command is simple such as ls without the --dump flag. The command I had didn't run under root which made it harder to troubleshoot. I ended up using the --user flag to work around it.

I am having a similar issue with a xboxdrv controller

BTN_MODE works and BTN_TL works

But BTN_TL+BTN_MODE does not work.

Any thoughts on why or how to solve it?

Found. Same solution:

BTN_MODE+BTN_TL

Looks like, when capturing release event, the 1st btn is the one released first.
