Re: [xmonad] Configure eating of keys based on window class

Brandon, thanks a lot for the explanation. I have tried to fiddle a little with the xmodmap and came out with solution that helps (although not solved in xmonad). Executing following does precisely what I needed: xmodmap -e "keysym Super_L = Hyper_L" (while having Hyper_L defined as mod4). On Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 4:12 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Now as I am thinking about it - maybe it might be enough just to change the Super_L modifier to something else that Windows do not recognize. Is it possible to change the keycode of the Win Key to something unused (by using xmodmap) and then define it as meta key in xmonad?

Keycodes are hardcoded in the X server and can't be changed by clients. It may be possible to remap it at the kernel level (the mapping from hardware keys to "raw" keys that the X server sees.

Citrix is likewise handling key events at a level that xmonad can't intercept, it sounds like.
