i got a problem with xmacro, emergency +++

Hey there, i got a little problem with xmacro. When it says to press the Key i want to use to end the process, i press escape, but nothing happens, except that it types some characters, but nothing more. I'll send a pic.
<@796000224690307072> man i'm really really sorry for the ping, but if i can't make this macro, then my project won't work, and i may fail my final exams 💀💀
Well I don't read text posted ass pictures. And then you post the picture in portrait format ... Unreadable...
oops
let me arrange this
Is it a bit better like this ?
it is supposed to display the second gray text when you press escape
but the only displayed thing is the two characters
:/
Still posting text as pictures, as a visually impaired I don't read them....
how do i have to post it then ? the language barrier is kinda hard to get trough sometimes tbh, as english isn't my native language
do you want me to write what's in the picture ?
Copy past?
Or should I improve my eyesight ?
ok so, when i type sudo xmacrorec2 > /home/aubin/Desktop/mobo.bin , it displays this as it should :
Server VendorRelease: 10900000
XRecord for server ":0.0" is version 1.13.
Press the key you want to use to end the application. This key can be any key,
as long as you don't need it while working with the remote display.
A good choice is Escape.
What OS ?
but when i press the escape button, instead of displaying this :
The chosen quit-key has the keycode: 9
XQueryPointer returned: 1
Got Start Of Data
Skipping...
- Skipping stale KeyRelease event. 1
it displays this :
^[
pi os
Theres no pi os!
pi os version of linux ?
on pi imager it says : a port of debian bookworm with the raspberry pi desktop
When you created the SD card/other storage you chose a OS! Whitch one?
so the first one in the list
Ok Bookworm, that uses Wayland, not X.11
so do i have to change the os ?
So you cant use X applications
what os do you recommend ? ubuntu ?
Im sure there are macro recorders for wayland
is the bullseye version ok or not ?
or do i need to use ubuntu
Bullseye use X11
ok so let's try bullseye and see if it works
thank you !
i'll let you know if it worked
Why not search for a wayland macro?
i'll see, but in a lack of time, i'll use bullseye first
<@796000224690307072> it works but i'm stuck again when i create the keyboard shortcut
i'll try something
ok it apparently worked
srry for the ping
Nice
another problem just came...
not a really big one
but an annoying one
But there is no need to ping as I notice when something happens ! So please stop with it, the only effect it has on me is that I will ignore you in the future
understood <:amongus:1004335098419757106>
the new problem is that whenever i type something on the keyboard while i'm on rasp's desktop, a little searchbar opens in the top right corner, and so my macro doesn't execute. Do you know how to get rid of this search bar ?
