[RP] non-working key

[Joe Corneli]

This might not be a ratpoison problem, but then again, it seems
suspicious - it is a bit weird anyway.  I usually bind the six/^ key
to be escape/^ (when I use my laptop keyboard).  When I use my
external keyboard, I want the six/^ key to be bound as usual, since
there is another convenient escape key.  Today I noticed that the
"six" does not work (i.e. does not transmit a keypress signal to the
underlying program, nor does it cause the rat cursor to turn into a
square like an escape keypress would) with rxvt/screen or emacs
--with-x.  However it does work with xev.  This seems rather strange
to me.  The key does work (sends keysym for six to the computer)
outside of X.

The relevant xmodmap files are on my webpage at

I don't know if anyone wants to go through the same details... but
anyway, I do wonder if something similar could be reproduced.
