Re: dwm terminal not working
Do the other shortcuts work? Can you run st manually?

Technically Enter and Return are different keys, check "xev -event keyboard"

Re: dwm terminal not working
Other shortcuts don't seem to work either, yes I can run it from a desktop environment, xev says it's unable to open display

Re: dwm terminal not working
In what context did you run xev? It's not gonna work outside an X11 session - you'd at least have to hint the server eg. "export DISPLAY=:0; xev …"
Are you sure the dwm process is running at all if no shortcuts work? Does dwm at least manage/arrange your windows?
Do you just install the dwm AUR package or do you compile a custom (patched) version (w/ maybe a custom config.h)?
