I don't know if this applies to other Mono applications as well, but when I start KeePass through my i3-config, some key combinations stop working for that application. As for KeePass, when I try to type my master password, symbols that require Ctrl+Alt or AltGr to be pressed (for example AltGr+2 for "@" on my Swedish keyboard) just don't work, so I can't type my password correctly.

These are the lines in my i3-config:

assign [class="KeePass2"] 2
exec --no-startup-id keepass

Works fine when launching KeePass manually afterwards. I guess it has something to do with some environment variables not being available when i3 executes my exec commands, but I have no idea how to solve this.

I've caught mono on X11 spec violations before. For instance, the tray icon will not work with the Mono version. I would suggest trying the X version and if that does not work, file a bug report.

I'm closing this because these issues are more valuable and easier to discuss on the bug tracker at http://bugs.i3wm.org where we can post logs and test cases and things like that.

Just to let you know - I'm having the same issue. It's even worse when using programmer dvorak. I cannot even use numbers. I had to change my master password from windows to be able to log in. I use it with a lot of copy/paste when needed...
