Hello,
When I'm using $mod=Mod4 I cannot use $mod+Shift+space to toggle tiling/floating (and neither $mod+space etc.). Also using eg. Ctrl+space does. The critical combination is Super_L+space. Using alt/Mod1 instead of Super_L works, too.
Which makes it even more weird is that this is only the case on my Cherry STRAIT keyboard - and not on another keyboard I tested. Sadly I currently do not have this other keyboard available.
My first guess was that $mod somehow changed the behavior of 'space' hardware-wise. This would explain this, though being a weird move from the hardware manufacturer.
Also this seems to actually not be the case, as xev reports different events when I change $mod to Mod1. So changing $mod to Mod4 definitely messes with the events which in turn would mean - to me - that i3 tries to toggle tiling/floating but somehow fails doing so in this case. I have no idea why this is so.

I used the default keybinds and there's no other keybind in my i3config that containts space except the default ones.
Any ideas?

I don’t see a link to logs.i3wm.org. Did you follow http://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html? (In case you actually provided a link to a logfile, please ignore me.)
i3bot commentedon Aug 4, 2015
I don’t see a version number. Could you please copy & paste the output of
i3 --versioninto this issue?ljrk0 commentedon Aug 4, 2015
Damnit, forgot this ... doing my work now.
stapelberg commentedon Aug 5, 2015
Can you please provide the output of
xmodmap -pke?stapelberg commentedon Aug 5, 2015
In the logfile you provided, are you actually trying to reproduce the issue? I’m asking because you don’t have a binding for the key combination you’re talking about:
ljrk0 commentedon Aug 5, 2015
Oops, yes I tries to repro the issue but for testing I sometimes commented parts of the config and didn't notice that as it made no difference in what I saw :~
ljrk0 commentedon Aug 5, 2015
Updated OP with
xmodmap -pkeand new log.stapelberg commentedon Aug 5, 2015
Can you also provide the output of
xmodmap -pmplease?stapelberg commentedon Aug 5, 2015
The logfile you provided falsifies that theory. All the KeyPress events that i3 receives are handled successfully.
What I observe on my machine:
In your logfile, i3 gets no event with a raw state of 65:
The conclusion is that the event does not even reach i3. The two most likely reasons are:
Can you also provide the output of
xevwhen pressing Mod4+Shift+Space please?ljrk0 commentedon Aug 5, 2015
Updated post with xev and xmodmap output.
If I remember correctly that this was not the case on the other keyboard, wouldn't that prove 1 and 2 false?
Also iirc this behavior was like that since I installed Arch on this PC - so without virtually any program that would do this.

Can you provide the output of
xevfor Mod4+Shift+g, or any other key that you have not bound in your i3 config please?Can you boot a live distribution (e.g. grml.org), install i3 and try there? That would rule out all config-related issues.
Finally, can you attach a different keyboard and see if that fixes the issue?
If the last point is true (as you claim from memory), my guess would be that your current keyboard runs into jamming (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key)#Key_jamming_and_ghosting) with the combination Mod4+Shift+Space.

xev attached.
Will try a live distro asap, just gotta find a free USB.
The different keyboard might take a while but might not. I will see what I can do.
If it would be that jamming thing it would be a shame. Such a nice keyboard and then ghosting/jamming exactly with this combination. Too bad :/
