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.

solution to dreaded emacs pinky finger problem (may not be possible) (only works with evil)

Amazing vim setup
(Although I think they are nice, I am not a supporter of the key bindings of the beast in emacs btw. In fact I wrote a little piece a software to keep my pinkie healthy while avoiding them;))
- janus-key: Make normal keys behave like modifiers when held down.
-
janus-key: give keys a double function (normal keys as modifiers)
I wrote a little tool in C that allows you to use normal keys as modifiers.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xplugd and janus-key you can also consider the following projects:
xfocusnotify - X11-tool which exits when a window is focused and prints the respective window-id.
zet - Zettelkasten Repo. This is where I dump my knowledge as it happens, all my zettels ("slips" or notes) about almost anything and everything. The idea is rather simple really and very powerful. Be warned, however, just because something is here doesn't mean it is accurate or even that I still believe it.
