Hi all,
Is there a way to re-insert the original keystroke as an X event for the currently focused client in response to a keybinding?
Basically I want to do a keybindings along these lines:
((controlMask, xK_t), submap . M.fromList $ [ ((0, xK_r), whatever) , ((0, xK_f), whatever) ... , ((0, xK_t), <re-send the original keystroke to the focused client>) ])
so that I essentially have a "prefix" key of C-t for all my rarely used xmonad commands, but if I need to actually send a C-t to the client I can still do so by pressing C-t twice.
(I've tried searching around for an answer to this but my Google-fu seems to be lacking.)
Cheers,

It is possible, but I don't think the code is written. What you want to do is construct a XKeyEvent and send it to the focused window with XSendEvent (bound in Haskell as sendEvent). Cheers, Spencer Janssen
