Mumble push to talk key not working software#

At least it doesn't map fully onto the way global shortcuts work in Mumble currently. If there is any interest from Mumble developers for this solution, I am willing to implement the compositor side for Weston (and all libweston-based compositors) as well as WLC-based compositors (at least via an LD_PRELOAD hack), and I may convince wlroots developers too (to be used by Sway and way-cooler, two important tiling I'm not sure it's enough in its current incarnation.

(I should probably write all that to the mailing list, for the record if nothing else.) Let’s say Teamspeak is running too, pressing the key for voip/push-to-talk would lead to the action event being sent to either Mumble or Teamspeak (for example, based on the last focused one). The user could then have a Mumble-specific binding (or not), and a generic binding. For Mumble, it means you would ask for the 'mumble/push-to-talk voip/push-to-talk' action. The action are namespaced, and you are expected to use fallbacks. On the other side, compositors would have to implement the protocol and provide their user a way to link (key, mouse, touch, mind-control) bindings to said actions. To work as expected, clients (or toolkits) wanting to support global bindings would have to implement it. I sent a proposal a few years ago and more recently, I made a cleaner one to allow for global action bindings. To have both, I went with an action-based protocol. We’re left with the fourth case (and half of the second one) that DEs had, until now, little interest in. The Media player case is mostly solved in DEs by having the compositor handling media keys and sending e.g. Also, the average user doesn’t need such tweaks in the first place. The second case would ideally be split between the first one (for launching stuff) and a non-problem, see below. Under Wayland, the first case will work as usual, since the compositor has control over the input. translating from one binding to another (like, a mouse button to a key, allowing to use mouse buttons with applications with keyboard-only bindings).xbindkeys daemon and friends, with two main usages that I know about:.There are four cases of global bindings that I am aware of:

That is what you are experiencing with some clients allowing PTT to work.

Since X11 clients are actually sharing one Wayland connection, through the Xwayland server, it actually means that focusing an X11 client will give input to all of them. The use can then trust their input to go where it is expected. Personnaly, as a VA user, I'd really like such a function to be implemented it feels a lot more natural to me to press a button to talk to wingmen, rather than to press one before I issue voice commands (which would arguably defeat the whole point of having voice commands in the first place).Īlso, shy people would probably prefer the safety of not having everyone hear them all the time, unless they want to say something to their fellow commanders.Not allowing clients to sniff on the input when they don’t have focus is a feature in Wayland, and it will be kept that way. Basically, with this option checked, once the voice comms would be active with another player, they would only hear you IF you pressed the push-to-talk button.

One very easy and convenient solution would be an option to invert the mute function for those who want to. So right now, every time you want to issue a voice command (which is very often for some people, me included), you must remember to press the mute button. all the time when you fight together for example. Nobody wants to hear you say 'launch countermeasures', 'power shields', 'select highest threat', etc.

This is good when you engage conversations with friends and wingmen, however it can be a bother if you extensively use voice recognition software like Voice Attack. So when you use voice comms, everyone can hear you UNLESS you press that mute button.
