¶Hacking a Lispy WM with QTile and Hy
The resulting configuration:
(import [libqtile [bar layout widget]]
[libqtile.config [Click Drag Group Key Match Screen]]
[libqtile.lazy [lazy]])
(setv mod "mod4")
(setv keys
[(Key [mod] "h" (lazy.layout.left) :desc "Move focus to left")
(Key [mod] "Tab" (lazy.window.toggle_floating) :desc "Move focus to left")
(Key [mod, "control"] "q" (lazy.shutdown) :desc "Shutdown Qtile")])
(setv groups
[(Group "1" :label "chat")
(Group "2" :label "dev")
(Group "3" :label "web")
(Group "4" :label "media")])
(for [i groups]
(keys.extend [(Key
[mod]
i.name
(.toscreen (get (. lazy group)
(. i name))))]))
(setv screens
[(Screen
:top (bar.Bar [(widget.CurrentLayout)
(widget.GroupBox)
(widget.Prompt)
(widget.WindowName)
(widget.Chord
:chords_colors {"launch" ["#ff0000" "#ffffff"]}
:name_transform (fn [name] (name.upper)))
(widget.Systray)
(widget.Clock :format "%Y-%m-%d %a %I:%M %p")
]
24
:background "232635")
)])
This was the original configuration we were targetting:
