First, I want to thank you for your efforts in building showkeys. I have been fiddling with a variety of alternatives for some time, and your solution really rises to the occasion. That it is dynamic and reflects the active program is really cool. It only requires one keybinding!
However, I'm having a couple of problems. To begin with, I'm not a programmer, so I'm in need of help. I have tried changing the font size in config.h and have gone so far as to reboot the machine to effect a change, but nothing happens. Unlike qtile, xmonad, sxhkd, and others, I have not found a means of reloading config.h. Is there another config.h somewhere that is the actual file the program uses? I found the app directories in /usr/share/showkeys and can effect changes in the keybinding lists of each app in those files as opposed to those in ~/showkeys. I must have a global installation rather than a user install.
The other problem is I don't use dwm. I use qtile. I have tinkered with config.h at the end of the file (line 41) where dwm is mentioned, but that doesn't work.
I really like that the window manager keybindings appear by default since the wm is always running. But so far, no luck. I have yet to dig into sed to understand line 41, so I don't know if the secret solution lies there.
Any help would be appreciated and you certainly deserve some applause for your work. Thank you again.
