Hi David, and thanks for your reply.
My keyboard is: ,---- | XKBMODEL="pc105" | XKBLAYOUT="is" | XKBVARIANT="" | XKBOPTIONS="" `---- (/etc/default/keyboard) So the letter 'æ' is placed on my keyboard, on the right, next to 'l'. I don't need a modifier key to insert á literal 'æ' And it works fine setting it as a prefix key this way: C-ae - in stumpwm, except when I try to send C-a (not C-ae) to Emacs. In that case I have to type "C-ae ae" - and that sends, what I normally do with only C-a in Emacs. I tried to use a literal æ in my config but then Stumpwm replies with: ,---- | Failed to parse key string: "C-æ" `---- I saw here: https://github.com/stumpwm/cl-xkeysym/blob/master/keysyms.lisp that the keycode 47 is ae: ,---- | (define-keysym #x00e6 "ae") ;U+00E6 LATIN SMALL LETTER AE `---- By the way, I have used C-ae in Ratpoison and it works fine there: ,---- | escape C-ae `---- In Ratpoison I can use keycode 47 as a prefix - and C-a works fine in Emacs. I would be grateful if this could be solved. Is this the right place to open an issue? https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/issues -- Kind regards, Jón Gunnar Þann 1.12.2014 skrifaði David Bjergaard: > Hi, > > Do you press a modifier key to get ae?
