OZ’s Qtile Configuration

IMPORTS

This block of code contains the python libraries and modules that need to bee imported for qtile to function

code

SHORTCUT KEYS

This block of code is for the hot key combinations used and reserved by qtile… “mod” is the windows or super key

code

mod = "mod4"
terminal = "alacritty"


keys = [
    # Switch between windows
    Key([mod], "h", lazy.layout.left(), desc="Move focus to left"),

    Key([mod], "k", lazy.layout.up(), desc="Move focus up"),
    Key([mod], "space", lazy.layout.next(),
        desc="Move window focus to other window"),

    # Move windows between left/right columns or move up/down in current stack.
    # Moving out of range in Columns layout will create new column.

MOUSE CONTROLL

This block of code enables you to use the mouse to drag windows arround.

code

# Drag floating layouts.

         start=lazy.window.get_size()),
    Click([mod], "Button2", lazy.window.bring_to_front())
]

WINDOW FOCUS

This block of code handles window focus and also default float windows for some programs

code

RUN ON STARTUP

This block of code runs a shellscript on first startup, this launches startup apps

code

auto_minimize = True
@hook.subscribe.startup_once
def start_once():
    home = os.path.expanduser('~')
    subprocess.call([home + '/.config/qtile/autostart.sh'])

WINDOW MANAGER NAME

This block is for certain java apps

code

# XXX: Gasp! We're lying here. In fact, nobody really uses or cares about this
# string besides java UI toolkits; you can see several discussions on the
# mailing lists, GitHub issues, and other WM documentation that suggest setting
# this string if your java app doesn't work correctly. We may as well just lie
# and say that we're a working one by default.
#
# We choose LG3D to maximize irony: it is a 3D non-reparenting WM written in
# java that happens to be on java's whitelist.
