Hi!
Sorry you had to jump through hoops, in order to run sidewinderd. I wasn't able to maintain for quite some time.
We actually have Ubuntu installation instructions in the Wiki: https://github.com/tolga9009/sidewinderd/wiki/Installation. I agree though, it's not the first place you'd expect it. As there are many distros out there and we can't cover them all in README
, I think it's a better solution to link to the Wiki and put the instructions there.
Feel free to edit and add pages to the Wiki. I think guides written by users are more user-friendly than guides written by devs.
As for your setup: you shouldn't use the root user in a single-user setup. Instead, configure /etc/sidewinderd.conf
to use another user. sidewinderd will drop unneeded privileges in that case and run as your specified user. Your macro folder will then no longer be stored under /root/.local/share/sidewinderd
, but under /home/<user>/.local/share/sidewinderd
.
Recording delays between key actions can be useful in games. But I understand, they can be annoying in other scenarios. You can configure capture_delays
in /etc/sidewinderd.conf
according to your needs. The changes should only apply after restarting sidewinderd. A solution, where users could do this on-the-fly would be awesome, but I need a universal solution, which works across all keyboards.
The Arch Linux AUR package has a post-installation script, which advises the user to look into /etc/sidewinderd.conf
, change the root user and make wanted changes. I think we need a way to communicate this not only to Arch Linux users, but everyone who uses sidewinderd.
I will keep this issue open as a reminder to improve configuration defaults and README
overhaul.
Thanks for your contribution!
Cheers,
Tolga
