OK, xmonad ran and mod-p gave a dmenu as a list of commands in a ribbon across the top of the screen. The left and right arrow keys scrolled the list. I didn't find how to execute a command in dmenu or get a result from any other xmonad "key binding". Didn't spend much time at it and not complaining. Incidentally, xmonad.man refers to the mod key but never mentions what it is. <Alt>+<P> gave the dmenu. On a PC keyboard, mod appears to be Alt. > </dev/null Never seen /dev/null used for input. What is the advantage? Or what is the harm in not specifying stdin? > >~/.xsession-errors ... Oops. ... >> ~/.xsession-errors ... No problem.
