That makes sense.
The problem here is that you enable kuake for multiple terminals, but only
one terminal can have kuake enabled.
The mechanism used to create a new urxvt instance from within a perl
extension also copies its parents environment. (including the setting
that enabled the kuake perl extension).
You could try to enable it only for the embedding terminal, by using
URxvt.tabbed.perl-ext: or something like that, but I am not sure that
works.
In my setup, it is the embedding terminal (the termincal which receives
embedded instances) which enables kuake. This also happens to be the
terminal which creates the embedded instances, causing those also to have
kuake enabled.
The problem is that when an embedded instance closes, the on_destroy
handler is called, which ungrabs the key using the window it was embedded
in.
The problem with your patch is that it doesn't really make any sense to
disable kuake for embedded terminals - users who embed their terminal and
enable kuake might have good reasons to do so.
In my opinion, grabbing a key of a window urxvt is embedded in is not very
nice. Shouldnt the window where urxvt is embedded in handle kuake-like
behaviour?
When you have a few tabs open, and close one of them on_destroy is
called for that embedded urxvt instance. This handler Ungrabs the
hotkey. However, the window is still open, with another tab (and
hence embedded instance of urxvt).
Only one terminal can sensible have the kuake extensino enabled - this is
kind of specific to kuake, because it modifies global desktop state (the
hotkey), and consequently requires the user to think about which terminal
has it enabled.
So what solution do you propose?
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
