Long time ratpoisoner, first time caller. cmd_meta relies on XSendEvent to send ratpoison's prefix key to the next-focused window. This doesn't work for applications linked against XInput2 (such as a default-built Emacs as of 29.1), where the prescription appears to be to use XTEST's XTestFakeKeyEvent instead[1]. I've tried hacking actions.c to do this[2], but code that works fine in a stand-alone binary seemingly has no effect when running as part of cmd_meta. I suspect that ratpoison is still receiving key events so the synthesized event doesn't get a chance to get delivered to current_window()->w (which XSendEvent targets directly, but which is seemingly not a concept in XTEST, where event routing is up to the X server).
Is there a standard way for code in a cmd_foo to tell ratpoison to drop input focus?(ungrab_keys_all_wins doesn't seem to do it) Cheers, -a [1] https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=66765 [2] https://gist.github.com/fischman/c701731134f1aec37077eab12ee3d48b (incidentally, is there a standard way to upload a WIP branch to savannah when not a project member, like github's pull requests?)
