Mod5 + Left

Now the result of typing of Mod5 + Left just behaves as if I had not pressed the function key.

Any clue how to get this type of definition to work again?

Also, I happen to notice that keysym.h and keysymdef.h
are not located as described in the comments in .xbindkeysrc

Did it really work before? I was experiencing difficulties before with xvkbd - independent of xbindkeys.
If you type in

Code:

xvkbd -xsendevent -text '{'

in the Debian chroot terminal, do you get "{" on the next line?

If that does work, perhaps the problem is simply that you have overwritten your .xbindkeysrc file with the new one and not yet reinserted your personal additions?
