  • How about starting with only a single `for_window` command and seeing what that gives you. One error at a time? – Perplexabot Apr 05 '19 at 16:42

Try removing this line:

for_window [class=""]

or add application which you want in the class attribute or put * between the "" for all applications.

you could enable i3 debugging

if using ~/.xsession

exec i3 --shmlog-size=26214400

more options found here: https://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html
