Detect the number of monitors when xrandr doesn't detect when the monitor is off
I'm not sure about turning on or off, but there is a very nice project, https://github.com/troglobit/xplugd, that keeps a daemon running and reacting to when a display is connected or disconnected, or a keyboard or a mouse, and then runs a shell script which you can then run xrandr commands, for example. It won't be triggered on turning a monitor on or off, but it will work on disconnecting or connecting. It is also does not depend on your window manager, doesn't matter if it is Qtile or something else. It is a nice project, I use and really like it, but I'm not sure it is 100% what you want here. ):

Swap keys globally for all keyboards
Have a look at xplugd, or xinputd that allow you to run commands on X server events.

Ask HN: Small scripts, hacks and automations you're proud of?
I write a lot of extremely simple but handy shell functions.
This one lets me drag/and drop things out of a terminal session (kind of) into applications with https://github.com/mwh/dragon and i use it way too often!

[OC] XFiles: A modular X11 file browser (WIP)
I'm used on a terminal workflow (ranger fm in the past, switched to lf) on a desktopless wm. I prefer it that way, the only thing missing is drag 'n' drop functionality, mainly for web apps. There is dragon but I'm considering installing a light gui fm for the job.

"Super Buffer File" and Dragon integration
Yeah, some amount of extra explanation would have helped. I'm using this with a local program (https://github.com/mwh/dragon) that creates a pop-up GUI window (independent of Emacs) for "drag and drop" functionality. It only works with files on the local system, so the purpose of super-buffer-file is to create a local file associated with a buffer if one doesn't already exist, and return the name of that file.

Is there a way to use an external file picker on Linux?
Not a direct answer, but maybe still useful… They way I handle this is using a drag and drop tool.

TUI file manager killer functionality that never gets implemented!
I know there is dragon and the feature would require a terminal that supports it, but being able to simply select files and drag-and-drop them into a browser upload without requiring an additional window would be awesome.
