This command works exactly like the Key command. The only difference is that the binding operates on the window under the pointer. Normal key bindings operate on the focused window instead. The PointerKey command can for example be used to bind keys to the root window if you are using SloppyFocus or ClickToFocus. However, some applications (xterm is one example) are unable to handle this key anymore, even if the pointer is over the xterm window. It is recommended to use the PointerKey command only for key combinations that are not needed in any application window.

Example:

Style * SloppyFocus
PointerKey f1 a m Menu MainMenu
