CTRL+` is not being recognized in awesomewm by applications

Open yoshi1123 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Output of awesome --version:

4.3


How to reproduce the issue:

Try to use CTRL+` (Control + Grave)

Examples:

  1. In xev, instead of normal KeyPress and KeyRelease events, with CTRL- it shows FocusIn and KeymapNotify events.

  2. with xterm

  • Add to ~/.Xresources:
  XTerm.vt100.translations: #override \n\
      Ctrl <Key>`: string("test")
  • launch xterm and CTRL-` should print "test"

(Other window managers do not have this issue from what I have tested.)


Actual result:

The key CTRL+` is not recognized by applications running in awesomewm.

I think you can mitigate this by using the key code rather than the symbol. I don't have time to debug this right now, so the mitigation might be the best way right now.
