I use `W-Tab` frequently to change my windows.

Several days ago I noted it stopped working all of a sudden. Running `skippy-xd-fix` in the console does nothing (no errors either) but `skippy-xd` seems to work fine. I restored my `rc.xml` just in case to no avail, meaning the problem lies in the script.

Anyone else? 🤔

As far as I know is `skippy-xd-fix` old and not needed anymore.

Try the regular skippy-xd command.

Can you show

```auto
skippy-xd --version

```

I don’t use the fix version.

_For your interest…_

Be aware that the latest skippies the RC file has added new sections.

```auto
/etc/xdg/skippy-xd.rc

```

I am running the latest from Github, don’t know the status of the latest mabox repo release.

If you like to try the latest from GitHub.  
Use meld to compare the RC file with the latest changes.

```auto
git clone https://github.com/felixfung/skippy-xd.git
cd skippy-xd
meson setup build --prefix=/usr
meson compile -C build
meson install -C build

```

There is also an AppImage.

Here is:

```bash
skippy-xd --help
skippy-xd v0.10.7.1 (2026.6.24) - 'Bruh' Edition

```

I never touched that part in my `rc.xml` 😂. If `skippy-xd-fix` was superseded just let me know. In the meantime, replacing it with `skippy-xd` did the trick and is working again.

Regards.

Sorry I mean the `skippy-xd.rc` file… 🙈 Not the hotkey’s rc.xml.

But I dont think this release has much config `.rc` changes.

I am helping skippy-xd with some debugging and more. So that why I also suggested the git install. But your are fine.

The latest release is interesting for 2 monitors. And much more changes.

Good it works. 😉
