[fixed 1.1.2] Redux not receiving keyboard events in Ardour and Reaper under Linux

[tavasti]

Ok, thanks. So Ardour side is fixed, but still waiting for Redux to be fixed.

Linux: Redux computer keyboard does not work in Ardour

The “XEventProc” thing is now implemented in Ardour So I’ve tried implementing it in Redux ´too to check if it’s working, but it’s not. Not exactly sure why. I’ll need to build and debug Ardour from sources to find out more info here. This unfortunately will take a longer while. Basically, the reason why the keyboard in Redux is working in Carla, Renoise, Bitwig and Co, but not in Reaper and Ardour, is because the latter hosts are embedding the plugin window into child window frame. In or…

So most likely this is somehow related to Renoise strange behaviour regarding keyboard. Keys that are bind in window manager do now work as expected when using Renoise (which is annoying)

Most likely that same code is causing problems here when Redux is embedded inside Ardour own plugin window, and it can’t see itself as ‘focused window’. Sounds like some change in X11 key event handling is needed.
