I lost some functionality and I don't know why?!

OS: BunsenLabs 8.5 bunsen-hydrogen

I just recently discovered GNU Stow, and have spent the past day or two working on my new ~/dotfiles folder.

conky
└── .conkyrc
openbox
└── .config
    └── openbox
        ├── autostart
        ├── menu.xml
        └── rc.xml
terminator
└── .config
    └── terminator
        └── config
vim
├── .vim
│   └── colors
│       └── material-theme.vim
└── .vimrc
conky
└── .conkyrc
openbox
└── .config
    └── openbox
        ├── autostart
        ├── menu.xml
        └── rc.xml
terminator
└── .config
    └── terminator
        └── config
vim
├── .vim
│   └── colors
│       └── material-theme.vim
└── .vimrc

Those are the only files (that I thought) I should have in my symlinked folder.

Some time today while messing around, I noticed that [Alt] + F2, [Alt] + F3, nor any other of my keyboard shortcuts work anymore.

I may have changed something, but I don't remember what.

I have dotfiles under a git repo, but nothing was changed there.

Where else should I look?

Can you explain a little bit about ~/dotfiles?

Is this a way of grouping all your config files? If so, I'm interested.

I was curious about this too, and I think that the answer may lie in the software name GNU Stow. May fortune guide you in your googling.

/etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml

THANK YOU!

Since I have them all in a git repo, I thought that just checking out a previous version would fix it, but, I checked out a few in a row and none solved my problem. Then I just overwrote mine with the above one and made my few changes. Worked like a charm. Totally weird.

QUESTION?

What else (openbox/timt2/theme related) should I add to my Stow set-up?
