CTRL+` is not being recognized in awesomewm by applications #3620

Output of awesome --version:

4.3

How to reproduce the issue:

Try to use CTRL+` (Control + Grave)

Examples:

1) In xev, instead of normal KeyPress and KeyRelease events, with CTRL- it shows FocusIn and KeymapNotify events.

2) with xterm

(Other window managers do not have this issue from what I have tested.)

Actual result:

The key CTRL+` is not recognized by applications running in awesomewm.

I think you can mitigate this by using the key code rather than the symbol. I don't have time to debug this right now, so the mitigation might be the best way right now.
