edit source code for custom keybindings.

[minsoehan]

I am checking source code of bemenu to edit for custom keybindings. I want bracketleft to go down and bracketright to go up. I found lib/renderers/wayland/wayland.c file and edited as follows:

switch (sym) {
    case XKB_KEY_Up:
    case XKB_KEY_bracketright:
        return BM_KEY_UP;
   
    case XKB_KEY_Down:
    case XKB_KEY_bracketleft:
        return BM_KEY_DOWN;
...

Then built it by running
$ make clients wayland
It does not work. What I am missing or is it possible?

After rebuilding are you making sure the new renderer is being used?
BEMENU_RENDERERS=. to set path to CWD

Oh! I didn't. let me try.

For running source build completely use:

# To test from source, you have to point the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and BEMENU_RENDERERS variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. BEMENU_RENDERERS=. ./bemenu-run

As mentioned in readme, or simply nix run . if using nix (compiles and runs bemenu-run)

Yes, Thanks, it works now.
