While trying to unbind C-/ in cwm, it took me a while to realize that you can't do "unbind-key C-/", as the key "/" is not defined in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h.
Instead you must do "unbind-key C-slash", as "slash" is defined there. Considering this, I think that the cwm man page is misleading, as it does not use key names from keysymdef.h. The following patch fixes that. diff --git a/app/cwm/cwm.1 b/app/cwm/cwm.1 index 2fc12e4f..ba21776e 100644 --- a/app/cwm/cwm.1 +++ b/app/cwm/cwm.1 @@ -83,9 +83,9 @@ Hide current window.
