The aur package gpu-screen-recorder-git was renamed to gpu-screen-recorder. Install gpu-screen-recorder instead or you may experience issues.

@krs I can fix it but only if somebody like you with a non standard keyboard layout emails me (dec05eba at protonmail dot com) to tell me about some command outputs.

There is now an option to disable hotkeys in the settings. If this option is used the UI can be controlled remotely with the provided "gsr-ui-cli" tool instead, for example "gsr-ui-cli toggle-show". These commands can be added to your desktop environments hotkey settings to handle hotkeys in your desktop environment instead of gsr-ui.

Hmm now I even removed the Dvorak layout entirely from my KDE keyboard layouts and rebooted, and it is currently in normal swedish layout. But still nothing. I suspect it might still be causing an issue somehow because my SDDM screen is still dvorak by default. Either way I think I'll hold off a bit until we can set the shortcuts. Thanks for your help!

@krs Im using a regular swedish layout so it should work. There isn't any option to set shortcut key yet, it's planned. Wayland makes it a bit of a mess.

Ah that may be it then. I'm using a Swedish Dvorak layout which has the Z key on the - (dash) key, and the physical Z key is the . (dot) key. But regardless of which I press, or if I switch to a normal Swedish layout (regular QWERTY), it doesn't seem to do it. Either way, I'll experiment a bit with this.

Is there a way to set the shortcut keys? I notice it seems to look for a config file that it can't find in ~/.config/gpu-screen-recorder when starting up.

@krs somebody else just reported that and in that case it was because of a different keyboard layout (hungarian) where Z and Y are swapped. Is that the case for you? right now different keyboard layouts are not supported properly, so you might have you press Alt+Y instead (or whichever key you have at type Z key location for a typical qwerty keyboard).

The alt+z shortcut doesn't seem to do anything for me. alt+f9 does work however, oddly enough. That will pop up the notification and start recording etc. But I can't open the overlay ui itself. I don't think alt+z is bound to anything else. At least I haven't set it to anything. I have all the gpu-screen-recorder AUR packages installed. Any idea what might be wrong?

I'm on KDE Plasma 6.2 Wayland on Nvidia drivers.

The ui does an exclusive keyboard grab on wayland now as well, which means that when you press alt+z, alt+f9, etc (the global hotkeys) then the focused application (game) wont receive those key inputs. Report if this causes issues for you, it's a massive hack to make global hotkeys work on any wayland compositor, properly.

I can confirm, works great now. thank you and thank you for this awesome tool :)

The UI now works better on wayland when using multiple monitors. It shows the UI and notifications on the focused monitor. It has only been tested on kde plasma wayland.
