Are window managers allowed? I’ve been using i3wm for a while now and have loved it to pieces, but can’t work around the game breaking bugs it has. Would anyone have any recommendations on another WM that could provide what i3wm does?
1: super+w (for tabbed layout) stops working for unknown reasons, still works if you press another i3 hotkey right before it.
2: super+l (for moving to the right) stops working when I change to my custom svorak keyboard layout where the L key has been moved. Like the first one this also works if you press any other i3 hotkey right before it.
The root cause seems to be fcitx, but I’m not sure. Second one is too much to ignore so I have to change wm. i3 recognizes the keypresses but won’t do the action itself.
bspwm is similar to i3. Its key feature is modularity: It doesn’t ship with a bar or a hotkey daemon. You need to use polybar or lemonbar etc. and sxhkd for these purposes respectively. I don’t know whether switching to bspwm will solve your problem though.

Thanks, I’ll give a shot when I have time to configure it!
