Hmm, that is odd. I suspect there might be a problem with your MODKEY-mapping, maybe that is trashed. Check if you can use different modifier keys as well e.g. instead of Mod1-Return press WinKey-Return... If that launches a terminal as well there is something broken. Despite of that, check if toggling NumLock or ScrollLock has any different effects. After all, dwm/wmii should have no effect on all keys which aren't passively grabbed in combination with a modifier key (MODKEY). Check if you can type w for example. Regards, -- Anselm R.
