Re: [wmii] wimenu no longer working
OK it is working now, It was because I had numlock on (feels silly) =/ Thanks to whoever posted the bug on wimenu ignoring return/esc on numlock, at any rate, the latest tip works like a charm, thanks all! Alex Kilgore

The strings output did not contain the right strings on my Gentoo box (on which wimenu failed to work). A fresh clone did it (the strings are there), but I cannot test wimenu now (only remote connection to the computer). Thomas

I had the problems on a Gentoo box with PREFIX=/users/dahms/local (no root privileges at work). I did not try a fresh clone there yet, will have to do next week. Now I tried on my laptop with Arch Linux using the wmii-hg package from AUR and it works just fine. Thomas

Hm, ok, I uninstalled everything i could find having to do with wmii and cloned the repo again, and installed it again, this included using a fresh config file, the issue still remained. The way it is behaving as follows, is that I can run wimenu and type things in it, but return, tab , escape and other things do not do anything so i have to kill wimenu from a console to do anything else. Is there anything I might be able to do in terms of getting debugging info? the only output wimenu gives is that it is missing some fontsets, which occurred before, this started with changeset 2446. I would be interested to know what the previous poster who brought up this topic has in common with my system that would make it occur on our machines and not yours or some others Any information I can give, I would be happy to find, if you want, I can file an issue report as well Alex K.

Have no time to test it further, but would be interested to hear whether others have this problem as well. I reverted to 2445. btw, I use wmiirc, no rc here. Don't know if that matters. Exactly the same here, I did have this issue and did the same thing as you, this was without trying a key binding file though, which perhaps i should have done, arent the defaults supposed to take over if there are no bindings though? I tried a keybinding file, I can't seem to get the default keybindings to work at all anymore even with the -k option
