Features of Qtile
- 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.
