exwm keys are undefined

[RidaAyed]

Description

exwm super keybindings are undefined upon installing exwm layer

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Install Spacemacs from scratch: git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d
• Start Emacs: exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session emacs
• Initialize dotfile: SPC SPC dotspacemacs/install RET
• Hit SPC f e d to open the dotfile
• Add exwm layer to the dotspacemacs-configuration-layers section of the dotfile
• Restart Emacs
• Hit s-k or s-<tab>

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔
Hitting s-k leads to s-k is undefined
Hitting s-<tab> leads to s-<tab> is undefined

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄
Hitting s-k switches window
Hitting s-<tab> switches to last workspace

Any error messages in your message buffer? Could be an issue with the changed init code for exwm there was a breaking change and I have just fixed the loading process but could not test it as I have moved to the wayland emacs build entirely.

It seems many of the keybindings listed in the exwm layer readme are not actually set by the layer (for example switching, moving and resizing windows). For the s-<tab> binding, one might just need to add the following:

    (exwm-input-set-key (kbd "s-<tab>")   #'exwm/jump-to-last-exwm)

here:

spacemacs/layers/+window-management/exwm/packages.el

Line 122 in c3269f6

(exwm-input-set-key (kbd "s-TAB") #'exwm/jump-to-last-exwm)

(Probably similar additions or changes are necessary for the s-<SPC>, and s-<return> bindings below.)
