Rank newbie here, so apologies if this isn't the right forum. I have just installed xmonad on an Ubuntu box using a keyboard with a "Windows" key. The basic problem is I can't get the modMask settings correct, so I am quite unable to manipulate xmonad. Here's what I have, and have done. I'm sure there is a simple fix for those more familiar with some of this, but it eludes me. * I've set my "modMask" to "mod4Mask". * xmodmap shows:
xmodmap xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0xcd) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf) mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb) Note that mod4 shows "Super_L", and that "0xce" is decimal 206. When I run xev and hit my Windows key, I get: KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0xc9, subw 0x0, time 25223274, (174,261), root:(2935,412), state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0xc9, subw 0x0, time 25223351, (174,261), root:(2935,412), state 0x50, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False So it is showing up as "Super_L", but with a keycode of 133 instead of 0Xce (206). What incantation of xmodmap must I utter to get things set up so xmonad can "see" the modMask correctly when I chord with the Windows key?
