module variables not getting set about stumpwm-contrib HOT 6 OPEN

@yusi1 Most likely the issue is that you are not referring to the write symbol, try using the qualified symbol name by using :, ej. productivity:*productivity-mode-is-on*

from stumpwm-contrib.

So I tried doing:

(setf productivity:*productivity-keys*
      '(("C-w" *root-map*)))

But StumpWM says the symbol is not in the package? Very weird, because it is.

from stumpwm-contrib.

But I tried in the REPL:
C-w h v and then I did productivity:*productivity-keys* and it says it is defined, but it still says the old value?

from stumpwm-contrib.

So I tried to actually set the variable through the REPL but StumpWM says:
The symbol "*PRODUCTIVITY-KEYS*" is not external in PRODUCTIVITY package.

from stumpwm-contrib.

Ok, so I've managed to fix my problem, instead of using a single colon, I used two colons before the variable since it is an unexported variable, now productivity mode picks up the variable from my init file, I read this StackOverflow post that helped me understand what was going on: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8567155/why-colons-precede-variables-in-common-lisp

from stumpwm-contrib.

I opened this pull request to change this in the README for the module so that no one else comes across this problem: #253
