My keybinding have stopped working.. I am on a near raw install... just started updating it... this is my current keybinding file...

# For the benefit of emacs users: -*- shell-script -*-
###########################
# xbindkeys configuration #
###########################
#
# Version: 1.8.6
#
# This file is adapted for BunsenLabs Linux.
#

# NOTE: There is a gui available for editing keybinds - 'xbindkeys-config'.
# However we don't recommend its installation and use because it has some bugs.

# The format of a command line is:
#    "command to start"
#       associated key
#

# To identify a key, you can run 'xbindkeys --key' or
# 'xbindkeys --multikey' in a terminal
# and put one of the two output lines in this file.

# List of modifiers:
#   Release, Control, Shift, Mod1 (Alt), Mod2 (NumLock),
#   Mod3 (CapsLock), Mod4, Mod5 (Scroll).
#
# Mod4 is also known as the Super or Windows key.
#
# The release modifier is not a standard X modifier, but you can
# use it if you want to catch release events instead of press events.
#
# By default, xbindkeys does not pay attention to the modifiers
# NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock.
# Uncomment the lines below if you want to pay attention to them.
#
#keystate_numlock = enable
#keystate_capslock = enable
#keystate_scrolllock= enable

# NOTE xbindkeys reloads its configuration file each time it has changed.
# If you want to force it to reload its configuration file,
# you can send a HUP signal:
#
#       killall -HUP xbindkeys
#
# Or if that's not enough, a full restart:
#
#       
#
# (Sometimes this is needed.)
# When a HUP signal is sent to xbindkeys,
# changes in $HOME/.xbindkeysrc take effect only after moving the mouse.

# See 'man xbindkeys' for more information.

All I did was try to change alt+F2 to mod1+Space and mod1+space to Alt+F2... but as soon as I did that the thing would not load... if I try the commands in the file

killall -HUP xbindkeys
xbindkeys: no process found

or

pkill -x xbindkeys
xbindkeys_autostart

and these do not make it work.

In my Autoexec it still has "xbindkeys_autostart" in it and stuff...

## BunsenLabs autostart
## ====================
## When you login to your BunsenLabs session, this autostart script
## will be executed to launch any applications
## you want to run at startup.
##
## NB, like openbox's autostart script, this uses the default shell,
## so "bashisms" are not supported.
##
## (Environment variables are set in ~/.config/bunsen/environment.)
##
## Note: some programs, such as 'nm-applet' are run via XDG autostart,
## from .desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart.
## To disable this, comment out the last line in this file:
## "bl-xdg-autostart"
##
## Run 'bl-xdg-autostart --list' to list any XDG autostarted programs.
##
## If you do something cool with your autostart script and you think others
## could benefit from your hack, please consider sharing it at:
## http://forums.bunsenlabs.org (registration required)

## WINDOW MANAGER
## Do not edit the next line unless you have also installed any
## necessary other programs for the different window manager,
## and edited the window-manager-dependent section later in this file.
## Use the window manager's actual command, not name:
window_manager=openbox

# test if chosen window manager is actually running (you should probably not edit this line)
pgrep -x -u "$USER" "$window_manager" || { echo "$0: Window manager $window_manager is not running." >&2 ; exit 1;}

### SETTINGS START

# start keybinds daemon
# (If this clashes with some window manager's keybinds,
# you can move it to the window-manager-dependent section below.)
xbindkeys_autostart

## Turn on/off system beep.
xset b off

## Set keyboard settings - 250 ms delay and 25 cps (characters per second) repeat rate.
## Adjust the values according to your preferances.
xset r rate 250 25

## Add keyboard mapping.
#xmodmap -e "keysym Insert = Multi_key"

## Disable CapsLock
#setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape
# alternative: use as compose key
#setxkbmap -option compose:caps

### TOUCHPAD: comment out the next two entries if you don't have one

## Configure touchpad. See 'man synaptics' for more info.
## (Now might be using libinput instead of synaptics.)
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1 HorizEdgeScroll=1 TapButton1=1 2>/dev/null

## Disable touchpad while typing

Is there a github or something I can get the default keybinding file.. I didn't back it up before editing it.... I am super confused.. I think it is not loading as there is a formatting error... but I can not seem to work out what it is.

The default user configs are stored in /usr/share/bunsen/skel so the default xbindkeys file is /usr/share/bunsen/skel/.xbindkeysrc

Github: https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … thium/skel

I ended up just doing a fresh install lol... but I will have to adjust the hotkeys and conky at some point.. so I'll leave this thread unsolved in case I have questions then... thanks for the reply!

Also, super+up/down/left/right sorta snap the window to the top/bottom/left/right side of the screen, but I can not see these in the keybind file or a way to maximize...
