Hi all,
Conkeror's keyboard system now works better on OS X, and with
non-US101 keyboards. There is no more need to run keyboard-setup to
train Conkeror about your key layout. There were a couple of changes
involved in this that may affect your rc:
* The call form of define_sticky_modifier has changed. The second
argument should now be a string containing just the letters
representing the modifiers. For example, the string "CM" would
represent Control and Meta.
* define_key no longer accepts the keyword $category. There will be
temporary breakage of the describe-bindings command while key
categories are re-implemented as command categories.
* The names of some keys in the call form of define_key have
changed. With the exception of "space", all punctuation characters
are now given as the characters themselves, rather than the name of
the character. Also, characters such as "*" can now be given directly
instead of the old form "S-8".
If anyone has trouble updating their rc, or getting a particular key
binding to work, please ask here or in the irc channel.
