Hello.
I can not understand why I can not write e.g. ^ or ~ using the "^¨~"-key on my keyboard (norwegean layout) in URxvt (extra/rxvt-unicode) in Awesome WM (aur/awesome-git).
Although I have tested in other window managers e.g. dwm, and the key works fine in urxvt there, I am not yet sure whether this is a problem in URxvt or Awesome. When I started using Awesome and URxvt some years ago, this was not an issue yet.
I hope someone has a clue as to what is causing this, and/or how it can be fixed.
Regards,
Rasmus

There's a similar thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=969647 but no clear solution is given.

When I first fired up awesome almost a year ago I needed to add
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("setxkbmap -layout de -variant nodeadkeys")to my rc.lua to make my german keyboard work. While I'm not sure if your current and my past issue are related, I decided to post since setxkbmap wasn't mentioned yet ( In this thread and in the one karol linked to).

Thanks.
I added
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("setxkbmap -layout no -variant nodeadkeys")at the end of my local rc.lua, and now it works. Yay!
