Re: [STUMP] Super key doesn't work

Hi Tyler,

Here's my thoughts (some pedagogical, I apologize if they're old news to
you.)

As far as StumpWM is concerned, it doesn't matter what keycodes are
mapped to what physical keys, your prefix key is <Alt>-j
(alt-lower-case-j).  (I'm sure you know this, but I just want to make it
clear.)

The root map requires the prefix, so to get emacsclient you have to type
"Alt-j-[".

You want (kbd "s-TAB"), "S-TAB" corresponds to shift.  
Here's the output of those two calls in my version of stumpwm:
STUMPWM> (kbd "S-TAB")
#S(KEY
   :KEYSYM 65289
   :SHIFT T
   :CONTROL NIL
   :META NIL
   :ALT NIL
   :HYPER NIL
   :SUPER NIL)
STUMPWM> (kbd "s-TAB")
#S(KEY
   :KEYSYM 65289
   :SHIFT NIL
   :CONTROL NIL
   :META NIL
   :ALT NIL
   :HYPER NIL
   :SUPER T)
As you can see the key object expects Shift in the former and Super in
the latter cases.  

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
