What can I do about it?Tue, 07 Aug 2012 06:34:38 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/319/after-upgrading-i3-i-see-error-messages-when-accidentally-pressing-keybinding-x/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/319/after-upgrading-i3-i-see-error-messages-when-accidentally-pressing-keybinding-x/?answer=320#post-id-320Since commit http://code.stapelberg.de/git/i3/commit/?h=next&id=cc7f16007a21a3e105d6b093be615a574e0d486c, i3 will report errors in any keybinding. This deals with a very common case of mistakes, such as people configuring `bindsym Mod1+x firefox` instead of `bindsym Mod1+x exec firefox` or having typos in configured commands. To disable error reporting for a particular binding, change it from this: bindsym Mod1+x move absolute position center to this: bindsym Mod1+x exec --no-startup-id i3-msg move absolute position center >/dev/null 2>&1 This will send the command to i3 using the IPC interface and redirect any errors (or output) to `/dev/null`.Tue, 07 Aug 2012 06:39:32 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/319/after-upgrading-i3-i-see-error-messages-when-accidentally-pressing-keybinding-x/?answer=320#post-id-320
