• qtile-examples

  Example configurations and scripts for Qtile

  

I'm not completely dumbstruck, for example I can see that in this config the dev uses functions and hooks (idk what hooks are, sounds like a way to add event-driven functionality) to automatically set the window type to floating if the window name is equal to x.

• dotfiles

  My dotfiles repo, here you can find all my window manager configs as well as documentation and a guide on how to make your own desktop environment. (by antoniosarosi)

On the other hand, I can't work out the benefit of functions in this config.
