sorry for the screenshot in 4k screen, but keyboard is highly usable and should help accessibility, as well as people that control pc from the #sofa

@ottobackwards@hachyderm.io One thing about #FeeeBSD that stands out for me is its native support for #ZFS. In cases like you mentioned I don't make a choice but instead I just created many boot environments and go ahead install things I want to just try out. I have BE for #Xorg with different #WM or #DE and also #Wayland with #labwc

LabWC's solution is to use a ToggleKeybindings keybinding to temporarily disable all keybindings globally while you use the VM, then re-enable keybindings when your done. This is obviously not optimal if you're constantly switching between VMs and other windows.

How to allow app to capture keyboard shortcuts? · Issue #810 · labwc/labwc

I wonder if it is possible to use keyboard shortcuts in a virtual machine. For example, with a Windows VM, I cannot Alt+Tab, or some keybindings with Win+... With gnome, this can be done easily. It...

What solutions do Wayland users use for passing keybindings (ex: Alt-Tab) through to a VM being viewed with virt-viewer or remote-viewer in a Wayland WM? X11 had some kind of special hint to tell the WM to pass all keybindings through to the VM's viewer window. Do you just temporarily disable keybindings while viewing a VM? Is it possible to run virt-viewer or remote-viewer in a separate instance of Wayland/wlroots that only displays that windows and passes all keyboard input to it (e.g. the Wayland equivalent of xinit virt-viewer ... -- :1)?

Continuing my LabWC testing. Appears that LabWC or Wayland has issues with not allowing virt-manager to capture keys/mouse when viewing a VM in fullscreen mode. Apparently this was a known bug in Gnome/Wayland that was fixed two years ago, but for some reason I'm running into the same issue on labwc 0.7.1 (latest version available on Ubuntu)?

Is there some kind of trick to running GNOME applications under LabWC? Whenever I start gnome-terminal or nautilus it causes LabWC (or other wlroots based WM) to start having random freezes/pauses.

Looking at the state of the necessary Wayland protocol proposals, I guess I'll have to stick with Openbox until at least Debian 14.

@psilonaut@idtech.space @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net I think #X11 is all good as long as I stay away from #Nvidia stuff. #wayland on the other way will only be good when I stay with #Gnome or #KDE and willing to spend some time. Last time I tried #wayland was #labwc on #FreeBSD , was hard but many of my little tools wouldn't work without tinkering.

Has anyone had luck running labwc under QEMU? Getting screen tearing running under Virtio Graphics, but better under QXL. Setting the resolution to the native resolution using wlr-randr seems to slow things down. Also having random freezes when moving my mouse around. Seeing lots of "Failed to commit output to Virtual-1" error messages when I check the stdout/stderr of labwc.

labwc users: https://github.com/labwc/labwc-gtktheme/ this converts your current gtk theme into a labwc theme. Works fine! #labwc
