I have:

Removed keybindings from ~/.i3/config.
Reloaded (was $mod+Shift+c in my case).
Reverted changes to ~/.i3/config.

Now how can I reload my changes to the config file? Is there no other way to do a reload than the keybinding? I looked at the standard i3 shell commands but they didn't help.

See man i3-msg -- It sounds like you're looking for i3-msg reload or i3-msg restart

The correct command would be "i3-msg -t command restart" as you have to specify the ipc message type with "-t type" before the command :)
