Input devices

Wait 300 milliseconds and then repeat keys 50 times per second:

riverctl set-repeat 50 300

Configure non-standard options for keyboard:

declare -A _xkb_opts=(
    [caps]=escape_shifted_capslock
    [compose]=paus
    [keypad]=future
    [parens]=swap_brackets
)
xkb_opts_full=${(kj:,:)_xkb_opts/(#m)*/$MATCH:$_xkb_opts[$MATCH]}

Note

The globbing flags used here require extended globbing.

Perhaps those obscure keyboard options deserve an explanation:

Option	Description
escape_shifted_capslock	Make Capslock` an alternative Escape key, but keep Capslock available with Shift+Capslock
paus	Use Pause as compose key
future	Unicode mathematics operators, noting that ASCII operators already exist on the main section
swap_brackets	Swap square bracket and parenthesis position

Configure a subset without bracket swaps for editing square bracket heavy code:

_xkb_opts_toggle=(parens)
xkb_opts_toggle=${(kj:,:)${(k)_xkb_opts:|_xkb_opts_toggle}/(#m)*/$MATCH:$_xkb_opts[$MATCH]}

Default to swap_brackets behaviour:

riverctl keyboard-layout -options $xkb_opts_full gb

Configure host specific touchpad settings:

if [[ $HOST =~ ^(camille|corale)$ ]] {
    riverctl input pointer-2-14-ETPS/2_Elantech_Touchpad tap enabled
    riverctl input pointer-2-14-ETPS/2_Elantech_Touchpad pointer-accel 0.8
}

We’ll declare a mode to wrap our input bindings, mainly as their use is uncommon and we won’t lose a lot of keys this way:

riverctl declare-mode input
riverctl map normal Super I enter-mode input
riverctl map input None Escape enter-mode normal

if [[ $HOST =~ ^(camille|corale)$ ]] {
    riverctl map input None T input pointer-2-14-ETPS/2_Elantech_Touchpad \
        events disabled
    riverctl map input Shift T input pointer-2-14-ETPS/2_Elantech_Touchpad \
        events enabled
}
riverctl map input None K spawn "riverctl keyboard-layout \
    -options $xkb_opts_full gb"
riverctl map input Shift K spawn "riverctl keyboard-layout \
    -options $xkb_opts_toggle gb"
