Subject: mod4 in terminal is ignored, works from gui
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 10:18:16 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19db91e1-9289-43d1-b6e9-61a7220bf4ef@googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I am using xmonad as my window manager, urxvt as my terminal emulator, and emacs24.

When I start the gui version of emacs, I am able to use my "windows" (mod4) key as the super key and I can issue key commands such as "s-s" (which emacs doesn't recognise yet, but I plan to use it for something).

However, when I start `emacs -nw` from urxvt, the mod4 is completely ignored. If I type "windows"-s, then just "s" is printed to the screen.

For ease of moving around, my config files are public:

Could somebody please help me to get emacs in terminal mode to recognise the mod4 key?

Best regards,
Sam
