Prompt not starting with key pressed to exit

[SomeBrownDude]

Issue: Pressing a key exits the program but doesn't use that char to start the prompt

Steps to reproduce

1. Run anifetch in terminal
2. Press two or more keys (e.g. quit)
3. anifetch exits
4. Check prompt

Expected Behavior

All keys pressed during exit injected into prompt in order:

> quit

Actual behavior

first key not injected:

> uit

Is it possible to start the prompt with the char pressed to exit to make typing commands faster and more fluid.

Environment

• OS: CachyOS
• Shell: zsh
• DE: KDE Plasma
• anifetch version: 1.0.2

emmm, well i think this is know issues or how anifetch works. Im not sure, ill looks at it later.

Thank you, I was not sure if this was intended or not. It seems like it supposed to inject all the keys that the user presses according to this, unless I'm misunderstanding.

    if renderer.last_key:
            from pynput.keyboard import Controller, Key

            keyboard = Controller()

            # needed because if I only enter one key even though the user pressed a bunch of keys the keys will be entered disorderly(only the a single key is not automatically entered and the other keys are entered)
            # so we store the key, go to line start, enter the first key(that the user pressed) and then go to the end of line.
            # that way even if the user presses a bunch of keys, it will all be in order.

            # start of line
            keyboard.press(Key.home)
            keyboard.release(Key.home)

            keyboard.press(renderer.last_key)

            # end of line
            keyboard.press(Key.end)
            keyboard.release(Key.end)

            keyboard.release(renderer.last_key)

yeah, based on the code it should not intended! But mine always did this so i never thougt this wasnt intended, let wait for @Notenlish

I dont know why it wouldnt re-enter the first letter. Maybe its related to #86

"Hi, when I put this into Alacritty in place of cachyos-fish-greeting, I get a weird notification on
key press from krdp about an application requesting special privileges (control input devices). I'm
not sure what's going on here, but it's every time I open the terminal. I'm on CachyOS and using KDE
Plasma 6.6.3. Do you know what might be going on here? I'm kinda new to Linux."

@SomeBrownDude I get this output when pressing multiple keys to stop the running anifetch instance.
I pressed qui and it only registered i so I think not registering the previous keys happens because of the same issue as #86

I accepted the special privileges popup and it works fine after (I only get the popup once) except for the fact that it doesn't output the first char pressed by the user. For me, it always only misses the first character, even if I type quickly (eg. I get > uit

I think the special privileges is necessary for it to output the characters to the next prompt.
