xmonad help. Which is my Mod key?

I'm using this config file https://github.com/artificialbeing/xmonad-conf/blob/master/xmonad.hs

I've recompiled haskell by doing xmonad --recompile

then I did M-q (where M is ALT) to restart xmonad.

There are no errors and I'm pretty sure the config is set up. However, ALT doesn't seem to be the mod key anymore. When I press ALT+SHIFT+RETURN, I don't get a new terminal screen.

Can someone help me figure out which key is mod?

Solution

  • The relevant bit is modMask = mod4Mask; on most setups, mod 4 is the "Windows" key.
