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

Terminal programs do not send modifiers as separate events.
You might be able to configure urxvt to send a unique escape sequence on
Mod4-s. Then configure Emacs to understand that escape sequence.
