Shortcuts (keyboard) not working on Garuda BSPWM

Shortcuts (keyboard) not working on Garuda BSPWM ...
Maybe its because i've added the greek keyboard layout.
I use english and greek and switch them via alt-shift
I tried to enter the command on sxhd to execute it when it starts and its working
but maybe because i configured the keybouard layouts via xfce keyboard settings on xfce settings panel
it cause a problem or something cause no shortcuts are working for anything i can't close the windows nothing.

---- Congratulations for the FANTASTIC BSPWM THEME it is fabulous ----
Help me i really like to use this fantastic BSPWM theme !!!!

Thanks for your nice words about Garuda Linux :slight_smile:

I use only i3wm so I can't really help.
Maybe our greek users/friends @petsam / @jemadux can help for the conf files if you use two languages?

I regret I have zero experience on BSPWM. And this issue is DE dependent, I assume about conf file and envVars.

The problem was that for some reason sxhkd could not be executed by the bspwm configuration file or it was overlapped by xfce keyboard shortcuts.

  • I've just added sxhkd to the session/autostart settings and now it works very well !
    Very good !
    Bspwm is my favorite because i know it better and also i like can simply change the master window by clicking super+mouse dragging
    Also i would recommend to change the colors for alacrity or zsh because sometimes the console text is unreadable, i just switched to fish so i don't have to change colors.

You now the
~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
?

But you solve the two problems for yourself, fine. :slight_smile:
If you like to maintaining the Garuda BSPWM edition, let us know.

Alacritty gets colorconfig added at first startup i think, you can just delete the last lines of the config.yml to get "stock" colors :slight_smile:
