For the key above = (on a standard US keyboard) the name is "plus". The
best way to get the name of a key if you aren't sure what it is is to
run xev(1) from a terminal, move your mouse into the window it creates
and then hit the key, you will get something like:
KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
root 0x4d, subw 0x0, time 2318638181, (6,28), root:(8,411),
state 0x1, keycode 21 (keysym 0x2b, plus), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2b) "+"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2b) "+"
XFilterEvent returns: False
as output. You want the bit in the (keysym ...) area.
