You are right, the following works as intended
groups = [Group(i) for i in "neio"]
for i in groups:
keys.append(
Key([mod], i.name, lazy.group[i.name].toscreen())
)
# Append ' key group
a = Group("'")
keys.append(
Key([mod], 'apostrophe', lazy.group[a.name].toscreen())
)
groups.append(a) # Here is the fix
But why is this the case? I don't see the 'groups' variable used anywhere
else in the config, except the for loop.
It turns out that if I rename the groups variable to something else, the
groups will be defined by default Qtile settings.
In other words, groups is a magic variable of some sort. I am not a very
good programmer, but isn't this a bit odd and counterintuitive? To me, the
following or something similar would make more sense:
from libqtile.config import Group
Group.groups = ....
Is groups a global variable?
Btw, thanks for the help, it works like a charm :)
