Strange Issues with BSPWM, certain commands not working

BSPWM is working fine for the most part. The workspaces work, creating new windows works

However, when I try and close a window

Super + w or
bspc window -c

or when I try and move a window to another workspace, or resize windows, or swap window locations, it does not work.

here is my bspwmrc

#!/bin/sh

sxhkd &
bspc config border_width	2
bspc config window_gap		5

bspc config split_ratio 	0.52 
bspc config borderless_monocle	true
bspc config gapless_monocle 	true
bspc config focus_by_distance	true
bspc config history_aware_focus true
bspc config history_aware_focus true
bspc config focused_border_color #1100CC

bspc monitor LVDS1 -d I II III IV
bspc monitor HDMI1 -d V VI

what do you guys think is the issue?

The syntax for bspc changed for version 0.9.1, see https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm/wi … s-in-0.9.1 for more.

tl;dr: change "window" to "node"

Also, you should post all of your configuration files, especially ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc
