mod+c not creating a new window

[ptsang123]

Whenever I use Mod+c, the terminal (xterm) interprets the command as the kill command aka ctrl+c.

Shouldn't you just configure either xterm or dvtm so they aren't using the same bindings?

You might be entering the command wrong. It's not ctrl-c, it's ctrl-g, then take your hands off the keyboard, then c (no ctrl required).
