My Awesome Configuration

Screenshot of my desktop

Awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.

Features

  • Simple, small and extensible. It's easy to write your own layouts, widgets and commands.
  • Configured in Python.
  • Command shell that allows all aspects of Qtile to be managed and inspected.
  • Complete remote scriptability - write scripts to set up workspaces, manipulate windows, update status bar widgets and more.
  • Qtile's remote scriptability makes it one of the most thoroughly unit-tested window managers around.

My Keybindings

The MODKEY is set to the Super key (aka the Windows key).
