I turned on my machine today and Xmonad's keyboard shortcuts no longer work. I haven't changed my config file in a long time, so I don't think that's it. I can tell that the window manager is responding because focus still follows my mouse fine. *I didn't turn on numslock or scroll lock. *I tried setting numlockMask to 0, didn't help. *I have modMask set to mod4Mask, and if I run xev and press the Windows key it says I'm pressing Super_L (which I believe is mod4). *Adding shift, control, or alt when pressing the Windows key doesn't make any of the shortcuts work either. *I rebooted into Windows, and the Windows key works fine there so I know

Try "xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart" (doing this explicitly on the command line sometimes works, especially if you've upgraded a dependency of xmonad); drop the restart if you're doing it from another WM.

Didn't work. I tried manually deleting the .o, .hi, and xmonad-x86_64-linux files to force the recompile just to be sure. I got a new binary, but it still has the same problem. Just to be doubly sure I plugged in an external keyboard, and the shortcuts don't work when using it either. -Joe G.
