Problems binding key combinations to Neovim Problems binding key combinations to Neovim

I'm using Herbstluftwm on Debian on a VirtualBox machine. When I try to bind the alt+d keys to launch Neovim, an error occurs. Neovim doesn't appear to be running, but that's just appearance. When I close Herbstluftwm with alt+shift+q, Neovim (with Herbstluftwm already closed) appears with garbled text, partially obeying the keys and preventing me from exiting it with :qa! or ZQ or ZZ. What I added to the ~/.config/herbstluftwm/autostart file was "hc keybind $Mod-d spawn nvim." I tested in place of nvim, pcmanfm, and dmenu; both worked. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? The terminal used is xterm.


Do you run a menubar/tray? Do you run a menubar/tray?

I am writing one that I think could be good for manual tiling window managers, and I am curious what info you like displayed. Never tried to write software that is useful for other people before, so probably better ask, I guess.

right now it has options for time, date, wifi up/down, vpn up/down, audio volume, cpu temp, fan speed. Runs on openbsd and linux, but nothing else. VPN status is a work in progress, but works with mullvad on linux only.
