key sequences in apps don't work

[xpusostomos]

As an emacs project, one would hope one could support emacs keystrokes in other apps... the trouble is, it doesn't seem like key sequences work. One I miss a lot is C-x h, which is select all. However it doesn't seem to work.

(setq sim-key-basic
      ;; movement, cursor
      '(([?\C-b] . [left])
        ([?\C-f] . [right])
        ([?\C-p] . [up])
        ([?\C-n] . [down])
	((kbd "C-x h") . [C-a])))

(defun cc/exwm-manage-finish ()
  (if exwm-class-name
      (cond 
       ((or (string= exwm-class-name "Google-chrome")
	    (string= exwm-class-name "Firefox"))
	(exwm-input-set-local-simulation-keys sim-key-basic)))))

Before I used exwm, I used various key mappers under X11 which could do that. The trouble is, they "eat" the C-x, even if it doesn't form a known key sequence. That's really annoying under exwm because most things you want exwm to handle, unlike with other window managers where eating C-x isn't as annoying. So it would stop things like C-x C-b working in many cases, so those solutions are unusable under exwm. So it would be really great for exwm to support them.
