My Qtile Configuration

Screenshot of my desktop

A full-featured, pure-Python tiling window manager

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). I try to keep the keybindings consistent with all of my window managers.

Keybinding Action
MODKEY + RETURN opens terminal (alacritty is the terminal but can be easily changed)
MODKEY + SHIFT + RETURN opens run launcher (dmenu is the run launcher but can be easily changed)
MODKEY + TAB rotates through the available layouts
MODKEY + SHIFT + c closes window with focus
MODKEY + SHIFT + r restarts qtile
MODKEY + SHIFT + q quits qtile
MODKEY + 1-9 switch focus to workspace (1-9)
MODKEY + SHIFT + 1-9 send focused window to workspace (1-9)
MODKEY + j lazy layout up (switches focus between windows in the stack)
MODKEY + k lazy layout down (switches focus between windows in the stack)
MODKEY + SHIFT + j lazy layout shuffle_up (rotates the windows in the stack)
MODKEY + SHIFT + k lazy layout shuffle_down (rotates the windows in the stack)
MODKEY + h expand size of window (MondadTall layout)
MODKEY + l shrink size of window (MondadTall layout)
MODKEY + w switch focus to monitor 1
