Control-C broken (in wmii?)

Dieter@be · 2009-09-05 12:31:12

I have this problem for already a few months but never bothered for help.. until now
basically, in urxvt and in xterm (so i guess any terminal in X), but not outside of X, when I press ctrl-C my terminal window "flashes". so i think my WM (wmii) is intercepting it or something.

It's not the same problem as http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74372 because I don't get a '^C' or anything like that in my term. I get no new chars at all.
It's also not the same problem as http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=78921 because 'stty -a' shows this:

dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 40; columns 279; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke

I think that is all OK (default)

I have no ~/.inputrc, but here is /etc/inputrc:

# do not bell on tab-completion
#set bell-style none

set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on

$endif

# Include user-specific configuration
$include ~/.inputrc

My .wmii-3.5/wmiirc is pretty much the default one.

hmm yeah i remember enabling such stuff so that my WM can show something if irssi on my remote box in screen over ssh gets hilights.
I basically followed http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/arc … yHook.html

remote box that runs irssi: ~/.screenrc contains 'vbell off'
.Xdefaults on localhost:

Edit: After commenting out 'urxvt*urgentOnBell: true' and restarting X I have the same problem. (I guess this is obvious, as this just sets the urgency hint for the WM). So what exactly is the problem then with visual bells and ctrl-C ?

turned out once i killed xbindkeys and restart it, it works fine ><
maybe something to do with me starting xbindkeys before the WM in .xinitrc
