Hi all,

Further to my last post, I am trying to have certain behaviour bound to
specific keys.

I have redefined my keyboard such that the F1 key (among others)
produces they same key code but a different keysym.  Pressing my F1 key
now acts as if F21 is pressed.

However I cannot correctly bind to this key in Awesome.  If I run xev
and press F1, it tells me I have pressed F21.  If I tell Awesome to
bind to F21, then when I press the key xev tells me it is bound to
another program (good) but Awesome does nothing (bad).

Worse still, if I tell Awesome to bind an action to F1, then it does
the action even when I am pressing what is supposed to be the F21 key.
(This means I can't actually press F1 because Awesome has stolen that
key.)

How can I tell Awesome to respect the XKB keyboard mapping and perform
an action on the keys it has bound?  Currently it binds to the correct
key but fails to act on it.

Many thanks,
Adam.
