For hyprctl --batch, input:repeat_delay specified before input:repeat_rate will not work

Original title: Defined variables cannot work in a bind with exec, for hyprctl in a submap in the hyprland.conf file

This section is not the actual cause

As demonstrated below, variables set in hyprland.conf cannot be used in a keybinding, exec, for hyprctl, I've tested by sending those variables to notification daemon both inside and outside the submap respectively, and they’re shown correctly.

Specifying values directly works as those commented lines, but not when specifying variables.

I think mostly it’s the bind in the submap that cannot use those variables, when I press the keybinding for the first time after reload, it works find, but not inside the submap.

Edit: Actual cause

It turns out that input:repeat_delay specified before input:repeat_rate in hyprctl --batch causes the problem, weird. I first set the number with input:repeat_rate before input:repeat_delay, but lately decided to put in opposite order when setting with variables, thus confused me to think that was the variable stuff issue.

Is this indeed a bug, should I post an issue of it?

$defaultRepeatDelay = 200
$defaultRepeatRate = 30
$keycursorRepeatDelay = 160
$keycursorRepeatRate = 60

# Outside submap to test variables
bind = $mainMod, p, exec, notify-send "!TEST $defaultRepeatDelay $defaultRepeatRate $keycursorRepeatDelay $keycursorRepeatRate TEST!"

# bind = $mainMod, ESCAPE, exec, hyprctl --batch keyword input:repeat_rate 60 ; input:repeat_delay 160
bind = $mainMod, ESCAPE, exec, hyprctl --batch keyword input:repeat_rate $keycursorRepeatRate ; input:repeat_delay $keycursorRepeatDelay
bind = $mainMod, ESCAPE, submap, keyCursorMode
submap = keyCursorMode

binde = SHIFT, h, exec, echo move left > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe
binde = SHIFT, l, exec, echo move right > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe
binde = SHIFT, k, exec, echo move up > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe
binde = SHIFT, j, exec, echo move down > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe

bindr = SHIFT, h, exec, echo reset speed > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe
bindr = SHIFT, l, exec, echo reset speed > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe
bindr = SHIFT, k, exec, echo reset speed > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe
bindr = SHIFT, j, exec, echo reset speed > /tmp/wl-ScriptsTmpDir/wl-ReadCursorEvalLoop.pipe

# Inside submap to test variables
bind = $mainMod, p, exec, notify-send "!TEST $defaultRepeatDelay $defaultRepeatRate $keycursorRepeatDelay $keycursorRepeatRate TEST!"

# bind = $mainMod, ESCAPE, exec, hyprctl --batch keyword input:repeat_rate 30 ; input:repeat_delay 200
bind = $mainMod, ESCAPE, exec, hyprctl --batch keyword input:repeat_delay $defaultRepeatDelay ; input:repeat_rate $defaultRepeatRate
bind = $mainMod, ESCAPE, submap, reset
submap = reset
