So bspwm or sxhkd (I can't figure out), have made to where when I'm on a empty workspace and try to run any sxhkd hotkey, my cursor turns into a plus symbol and I have to click for the hotkey's assigned command to run.
I've tried replacing my bspwmrc and sxhkdrc to the defaults, no luck.
I've tried uninstalling both bspwm and sxhkd, and installing bspwm-git and sxhkd-git, and still no luck.
Example of what my cursor is doing:

run through this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bspwm#Troubleshooting
in particular
Make sure ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc is executable.

So, I found the root of the problem, it is due to that I use fish as my default shell.
Changing my default shell to bash fixes the problem.
But obviously I'm going to try to use fish, I tried doing these both in my term emulator, and in my config.fish
set -U SXHKD_SHELL /usr/bin/bash
# and
set -U SXHKD_SHELL sh
But still, no luck.
I've also tried backslashing the line in my sxhkdrc
bspc {desktop -f,node -d} '^{1-9,10}'
# to
bspc {desktop -f,node -d} '\^{1-9,10}'
But obviously, this breaks switching windows at all (probably due to it being in quotes?)

Ok, I fixed it.
What I did came from this section on the arch wiki page for fish,
Basically change default shell to bash, then plop this into the .bashrc, wiki explains what this does
if [[ $(ps --no-header --pid=$PPID --format=comm) != "fish" && -z ${BASH_EXECUTION_STRING} ]]
then
SHELL=/usr/bin/fish
exec fish
fi
(added SHELL=/usr/bin/fish for things like sysinfo fetchers to recognize fish as your shell)
