It seems some binding no longer work, in particular $mod+q and $mod+v.

bindsym --release $mod+q kill
bindsym $mod+v split v

Other bindings still work fine. Any ideas?

Ubuntu has switched from Unity to Gnome as the Desktop not sure if this is a factor.

  • For `$mod+q` it seems I have to hold the key combination down for longer. – Kris Aug 14 '18 at 08:53
  • To fix `mod+q` I had to remove `--release` from the key binding. However `mod+v` still fails to work. – Kris Aug 29 '18 at 10:49

You declare bindsym $mod+v twice in your config.

Once here: bindsym --release $mod+v exec --no-startup-id xdotool key --clearmodifiers ctrl+v

and again here:bindsym $mod+v split v

bindsym only listens to the first of duplicate declarations after some testing (ie: xdotool). Change the key to get results

    Thanks so much. I wonder why it worked before, maybe I had a different version of i3... Nevermind :) – Kris Aug 30 '18 at 10:49
