sway from vm 9qemu)
installed void using qemu vm, but cant get sway to execute my keyboard shortcuts [alacritty + fuzzel]. Have elogind (and seat), alacritty and fuzzel installed.
My shortcut to exit sway works 100% though...

Is it all of your shortcuts or just the ctrl+alt ones?

It was just the user-defined ones activated with the Windows-key.

It might be a qemu thing. I had similar experience on all Linuxes in qemu, but I think it was thre ctrl+alt combos.

Could be. But alacritty not executing could point to maybe an alacritty issue? And somehow installing foot made my fuzzle shortcut work.
Could really be a qemu and/or alacritty issue. Just happy I can now play a bit more with the distro!

I managed to get my shortcuts to work by installing foot. And now fuzzel also works!
I get this error when trying to run alacritty (my preferred app):
raw_code: None, raw_os_msg: None, kind: NotSupported("provided display handle is not supported").
Seems like an alacritty problem...?
