Thank you, that indeed helped me, because it worked for me too in a
terminal. So I searched somwhere else and found out that my non-working
function works when I bind the function to a mouse-button via the
clientbuttons-table.
But doesn't work when I bind it to modkey+F2 or modkey via the
clientkeys-table. It is exact the same function, it works on a
mouse-button-bind but doesn't on a keybind.
Pressing Modkey+F2 (the same with modkey+z) over a "xev"-window gives me
just

instead of the key_press- and key_release-event.
Any ideas why this happens? Even though faking a keypress with another
keypress doesn't make much sense in practice, it should work, shouldn't it?
Cheers,

I put this into my clientkey-table:

and the functions.experiment is:

Nothing special, I think.
