Nice :-)

Anyway it looks like mod1 (<alt>) is actually the default in Debian's xmonad package so check ~/.xsession-errors after trying to launch xfce4-terminal a few times.

As for the 'windows' key i'll need more time to search because my keyboard is a ergodox with custom mapping with no such key.

And is a terminal emulator installed?

update-alternatives --display x-terminal-emulator

Otherwise check ~/.xsession-errors for any clues.

sudo apt-get install xmonad

I log out and in the login screen with F1 i choose as session xmonad.
But when i log in i see the same devuan default background with the text (xmonad session)
but nothing happens.
It's supposed to be able to launch a terminal with Alt + Shift + Enter.

System:
  Host: enoush2o Kernel: 5.15.0-3-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0
    Distro: Devuan GNU/Linux 5 (daedalus/ceres)
