Mod+D doesn't work when...

Mod+D

Hi there,

I've found that when I set "export LANG=enHK.UTF-8" in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, the mod+d doesn't show up. But when I set "export LANG=enUS.UTF-8", the mod+d is just fine. What should I do?

Thanks.

"the mod+d" is just dmenu. Run it in a terminal and figure out why it doesn’t work.

I very strongly suspect this has nothing to do with i3 itself. See also http://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html if it works in a terminal.

When LANG=enHK.UTF-8, it returns "no locale support" if I type dmenu in the terminal. When LANG=enUS-UTF-8, nothing happens if I type dmenu in the terminal.

So, submit a bug at dmenu: http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/

Oh... I thought dmenu was part of i3... alright, I will check that out!

Why don't you just edit your settings to run "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 dmenu" instead of "dmenu" ?

Sorry Licaon. Where the setting you are referring?

@688a: Edit your ~/.i3/config of course: **bindsym $mod+e exec LANG=en__US.UTF-8 dmenu__run**
