Package: wmii
Version: 3.10~20120413+hg2813-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
On my box, wmii is configured so that the Mod4-a key combination is supposed to
make the action menu appear. I guess most users also use this key combination
for the action menu.
Since a few weeks (since the last wmii upgrade ?), the Mod4-a key combination
does not make the action menu appear any more. This is annoying because without
the action menu, the user is left without any easy way to perform some actions
like exiting wmii.
Other key combinations (Mod4-p, Mod4-h,j,k,l, etc...) still work as expected.
Do other users experience the same issue?
I could find several workarounds to the issue:
1) Issuing one of the following commands in a terminal causes the Mod4-a key to
work back as expected.
wmiir ls /keys
wmiir read /keys
2) Changing the wmii configuration so that a key combination other than Mod4-a
(Mod4-x for example) is bound to the action menu.
3) Patching wmiir so that it automatically stats /keys.
