Awesome3 knocked out ctrl + C?

Hey all.
It seems the latest round of updates (Tueday approx 7 PM PST, hadn't updated in 3 days) knocked out my Ctrl + C escape sequence in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm when Awesome3 is running.

It works fine in tty, openbox, and everything else I've tried. So I'm almost certain the issue is Awesome (Showing 3.3.1-1). Has anyone else had this issue? How can I go about fixing it?

stty -a shows ^C as my escape.

Thanks alot.

Hah! So i am not the only one who had problem with that. Luckily updating to awesome 3.3.3 solves that issue. You have to build xcb-util 0.3.6 and awesome 3.3.3 from sources, though. I can provide PKGBUILD's if you like.

It is sufficient to rebuild your current awesome package against the new libev (3.80).

Edit: sorry I confused this with another problem (closing windows)... I heard awesome was orphaned so you might as well build 3.3.3 your self.

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Hey guys.
Running the follow solves the issue.

pacman -Rd awesome xcb-util

yaourt -S xcb-util-git awesome-git

Be aware your old configs don't appear to work in the update.
