Running but not working

[tkapias]

I installed i3-switcher-x11 with cargo+git and apt+deb, both binaries seem to run fine but nothing works. There is no output, window or reaction to alt+tab.

I don't have any prior binding on alt+tab and I tried with win+tab, which is my i3wm modifier but it doesn't work too.

OS: Debian Testing - trixie/sid x86_64
WM: i3 (X11) - version 4.23 (2023-10-29)
i3bar: i3status-rs - 0.33.0 (commit e62d10e 2024-02-19)
i3-switcher-x11: 0.2
i3wm modifier: MOD4 (win key)

Thank you for reporting this. I'm working now on reimplementing big parts of the code, which might fix your problem. I will let you know when a new version will be available.

[iondodon]

@tkapias There is new version 0.3.0. Please try it and tell me if the problem still persists. Use left Alt key.

[tkapias]

Still not working.

But now I have a warning in the output at launch:

(i3-switcher-x11:1469639): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:24:45.348: Theme parser error: <data>:10:13-23: No property named "max-height"

(i3-switcher-x11:1469639): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:24:45.348: Theme parser error: <data>:13:13-22: No property named "max-width"

Ok, will continue to investigate this.

@tkapias What do you get if you run with RUST_LOG=trace i3-switcher-x11?

[tkapias]

I get a loop of Window visible - false. Even when I press Alt+Tab.

I checked xev to be sure that there is no issue with my alt key code. Here is the log when pressing and releasing Alt+Tab:

And I tried also to see if the i3-switcher-x11 window exist by running wmctrl -l while pressing Alt-Tab, but there is no visible or hidden matching window.

[iondodon]

Check if you have these installed:

libayatana-appindicator3-1
llvm
clang
libx11-6
libxcb-randr0
libxrandr2

[tkapias]

• All of them were already installed.

Hey, I am running into the same issue here. With the RUST_LOG=trace set, I get just the following output

[2024-07-01T08:17:01Z DEBUG i3_switcher_x11::ui] Window visible - false

When I press Alt+Tab, I get en indent in the console, not sure if this means anything
`^[ [2024-07-01T08:17:00Z DEBUG i3_switcher_x11::ui] Window visible - false
