Hi, some how I'm trying to config WMII. It's impossible. I've changed the terminal and the super key to the windows key. That's it, but this is done in the /etc/wmii-3.5 and I had to do it in both wmii and rc.wmii for it to work. This is so messy and not exactly intuitive. Thinking about the suckless.org philosophy I can't see were this confusing handling of files comes into play.
Anybody knows how I can get to config wmii trough wmiir in my home directory? (No, don't refer me to wiki. They just cp the wmiir to the local .wmii-3.5 directory. And that does not work)

probably, your rc.wmii overrides your settings in wmiirc. try to remove rc.wmii from your ~/.wmii-3.5
you have to choose one of the two ways of configuration (wmiirc or rc.wmii)

Hmm, done that. But it still chooses the files from the /etc/wmii above the one in my homefolder. If i choose wmiirc from the dmenu, and loads that then my local config works. Not so practical loading manually tough

do you have plan9port installed? if so, it's going to be looking for rc.wmii and not wmiirc, that means, if you have plan9port installed, and then wmiir in your local directory, it will get ignored and /etc/wmii-3.5/rc.wmii will get executed.
the other thing is that are you sure your modifcations are correct etc?
are you using the -hg version? that uses .wmii-hg directory...

Thank you, I removed the plan9port pack and it locates the right file at startup.
