Hi, noob here.
9:41 - I edited the line to change it from -xterm- to -st- but didn-t have st installed. So, when I rebooted, logged in and keyd SUPER+ENTER nothing happens. If I log out and log back in with the root user then SUPER+ENTER opens the terminal (xterm) but not on my user...
How can I restore my config settings on my user from the root user that is where I can open terminal. I can-t do anything on my user, terminal doesn-t pop up.
Thanks.

I'm learning how to use it and configure it ... not far from 20/25 years of using classic management environments, windows, xfce and kde (I'm 54 years old), and I'm starting to really love this principle of - tile -windows, it is true that it changes a lot of habits but it is not very very complicated to use either ... the original configuration of Qtile being already usable out of the box. A big thumbs up for for making me discover and switch to this world of WM's ;)

I must be too much of a noob for qtile. I can't get it from any apt source I've tried so far, I'm not comfortable attempting to compile from source yet, and installing with pip seems to work but qtile doesn't show up in my list of xsessions lol. I was really hoping to get into qtile as a way to finally force myself to start learning some python but that seems to not be in the cards for me. Looks like I'm sticking with i3 for now.

alternative code - dt's is fine, cant go wrong with python! :)
(edit: test&fix)
group_names = 'WWW DEV SYS ETC'.split()
groups = [Group(name, layout='max') for name in group_names]
for i, name in enumerate(group_names):
indx = str(i + 1)
keys += [
Key([mod], indx, lazy.group[name].toscreen()),
Key([mod, 'shift'], indx, lazy.window.togroup(name))]

Distrotube excellent video, I have a little problem with Qtile and my Keyboard, My keyboard has the format (la-latin1) but the file I put in /etc/vconsole.conf -KEYMAP = la-latin1- does not respect me. I would like to know how that can be fixed since before installing Qtile my keyboard obeyed that file and everything was fine but in Qtile it detects the keyboard as US.

How to install Qtile in Kali Linux or any Debian based distro.?, I read the documentation but it gives problems it does not install properly and when turning on the machine it does not give me the option to use qtile. It would be nice if you made a tutorial on how to install it from its source code in distros based on Debian, Por Todo lo otros Excellent Video.

Is There a way in qtile to have workspaces for each monitor?
I have a dual monitor setup and wish to have my 9 workspaces on the first and also 9(diffrent) on the other monitor. I searched the docs and Forums but i didnt find anything.
Hope somebody could help me.
(Non copy Paste solutions are also welcome)

I've tried Awesome, BWPWM, and now Qtile. Definitely my best choice, I'm loving Qtile with ArcoLinux. You inspired me a lot.
I know you stopped using Emacs, but you inspired me to with Emacs. I'm also configured Emacs keybinds on my Intellij IDEA and I really love it. Thank you so much for this and others things.

Hi, I wanna try Qtile but I'm having scaling issue with my 4k display. Everything is too small to see. Can you please help me how to scale it properly for Qtile.
I was using Ubuntu 21.04 on Wayland. And I changed scaling settings in it and it was perfect. But now I wanna use Tiling window managers.

Instead of all of that Python code, I leave the numbers in and use the -label- string. For example:
Group(0, matches=[Match(wm_class=[-URxvt-])], layout=-max-, init=True, persist=True, position=0, label=-CLI-),
mod+0 takes me to my -CLI- group.
