I have installed the latest wmii and then removed the older ~/.wmii-3.5 directory. I copied the new rc.wmii to ~/.wmii-hg/ directory and then changed the Mod key to Mod4. 90% of the times when I start wmii it does not respond to the Mod4 key. If I change the key back to Alt (Mod1) , it works fine, no problems then.
Earlier version was working fine with Mod4. Here is the xmodmap and rc.wmii of mine. Can anyone tell what is wrong: [arn...@dune ~]$ wmiir ls / wmiir: fatal: can't mount: Connection refused [arn...@dune ~]$ wmiir cat /keys wmiir: fatal: can't mount: Connection refused [arn...@dune ~]$ xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) [arn...@dune ~]$ [arn...@dune ~]$ cat .wmii-hg/rc.wmii #!/usr/bin/env wmii9rc cd scriptname=$0 oldpath=$path; path=($PLAN9/bin $path) . wmii.rc wmiirc # Include utility functions # WMII Configuration # Keys MODKEY=Mod4 UP=k DOWN=j LEFT=h RIGHT=l # Bars noticetimeout=5 noticebar=/rbar/!notice # Theme wmiifont='drift,-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' wmiifont='-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' wmiinormcol=`{echo '#000000 #c1c48b #81654f'} wmiifocuscol=`{echo '#000000 #81654f #000000'} wmiibackground='#333333' wmiifloatbackground='#222222' fn setbackground { xsetroot -solid $* } # Programs WMII_TERM=(urxvt) # green theme #WMII_FOCUSCOLORS=('#ffffff' '#153F1F' '#2A7F3F') #WMII_NORMCOLORS=('#222222' '#5FBF77' '#2A7F3F') # Column Rules wmiir write /colrules <<! /gimp/ -> 17+83+41 /.*/ -> 62+38 # Golden Ratio ! # Tagging Rules wmiir write /tagrules <<! /MPlayer|VLC/ -> ~ ! # Status Bar Info fn status { echo -n `{uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'} \ '|' `{date} } # End Configuration # For the time being, this file follows the lisp bracing # convention. i.e.: # if(frob this) { # frob that # if(frob theother) { # unfrob this # unfrob that}} # Comments welcome. confpath=`{echo $WMII_CONFPATH | sed 'y/:/ /'} # Events fn sigexit { rm -f $progs_file wi_cleankeys } fn Event-CreateTag { echo $wmiinormcol $* | wmiir create /lbar/$"*} fn Event-DestroyTag { wmiir remove /lbar/$"*} fn Event-FocusTag { wmiir xwrite /lbar/$"* $wmiifocuscol $*} fn Event-UnfocusTag { wmiir xwrite /lbar/$"* $wmiinormcol $*} fn Event-UrgentTag { shift wmiir xwrite /lbar/$"* '*'$"*} fn Event-NotUrgentTag { shift wmiir xwrite /lbar/$"* $"*} fn Event-AreaFocus { if(~ $1 '~') setbackground $wmiifloatbackground if not setbackground $wmiibackground } fn Event-Unresponsive { client = $1; shift �...@{ msg = 'The following client is not responding.
