wm breaking beyond its boundaries?
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2020 12:20 am
So, playing around, I broke my 2wm .config bad, w/o knowing, then make installed.
On reboot, loaded into X fine, but nothing worked. 2wm terminal/new window shortcuts did nothing. Dmenu(who's shortcut was coded into 2wm config), did nothing. Alt+F1, etc did nothing.
Quickly asking, can I bork up my main wm's code enough to break all access back to TTY root terminal functions?
(I don't know how I broke what on whatever i did, but that felt like the end result, an X loaded feh wallpaper, with a broken keyboard, lol)
I did try "init=/bin/bash/ in Grub, and let myself back into bash shell, but couldn't find my home directory to undo changes from there...
NOT A HUGE PROBLEM!!! I already clonezilla'd back to working. Just curious how I made a wm break TTY escape route I guess? I'm slowly learning to back out and fix things, but if I break my basic (outside X) TTY terminals, then, not learning much, lol.
(dumb assumption #1: Alt+Shift+Enter 2wm keybindings somehow override Alt+F1?
So, if I break/lockout Alt keybindings with shenanigans, I also break default "Back to TTY" default keybindings...?)
