[ UPDATE ]

So I'm getting somewhere as I can launch them both if I start them like below.

doas seatd -u $(whoami) -l debug & mango

I know this is wrong but it seems like seatd isn't running as my user if I try and start mango or sway without that line hence the permission errors for the keyboard.
I have even followed the OpenBSD seatd man page and added my user justine to the _seatd group and then started seatd with doas rcctl start seatd but still the same no keyboard. If I look in /etc/group I see _seatd:*:564:justine so what am I doing wrong ?


OK friends, Why when I install Sway or Mango ( ) can I not get any keyboard control ? I can run them fine on but on OpenBSD they both start but the keyboard does nothing on the mouse seems to work on waybar. I'm using known working configs for both.
I do see errors like permission denied for /dev/wskb* . I'm at a loss as I'm sure I had sway running last year ??
Even copied the startsway.sh and modified for mango but still no keyboard ???

Please boost for a larger reach. ❤️

@vlkrs@bsd.network Are you able to assist at all ? TIA

            I've still not given up on as my editor instead of and to be perfectly honest, I'm not really missing the fancy Gruvbox theme and Vim's auto-completion. It's making me learn new tricks and stops me relying on the help of plugins. Good for the old grey stuff I'd say! I even changed the 88x31 button on my websites footer from Vim to Vi.

                        I think in my journey on that I'm leaning towards as in nvi2. Only because I do use some nerd font stuff to pretty up some of my menus and my bar. But obviously that could change as I may get rid of those nerd fonts and just stick with plain text?
                        If you're an OpenBSD user and use vi instead of vim do you use the builtin n(vi) or nvi2 ?

                          Whoah ! My config is a hearty 10 lines long compared with the 260 of my minimal config. Yeah I know I don't have theme support and what not but I'm prepared to give this a shot without all the fancy bells and whistles. The only thing it doesn't do is display my icon fonts in scripts but it's made me wonder if I even need them now. Yes nvi2 will display them but it feels like cheating to install that when n(vi) is in the base on OpenBSD.

                          EDIT OK thanks to @r1w1s1@snac.bsd.cafe I'm now at 39 lines long. 🀣

                            So here's the difference between nvi2 on the left and n(vi) own vi editor. As you can see the Unicode fonts show up in nvi2 but not in n(vi).

                            A screenshot of the nvi2 editor on the left terminal window displaying Unicode fonts but the OpenBSD n(vi) window on the right does not.
