Hi there,
Welcome to qtile. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
I'm not 100% sure about what you're trying to achieve but I'll have a shot
at answering your questions.
I think the key bit to understand is that "qtile-cmd" (which is now "qtile
cmd-obj") is a means to communicate with qtile from a separate process e.g.
a shell script. Your config file is different as it's loaded by the qtile
process so functions in that file can directly access the running qtile
object.
To display your keybindings using qtile cmd-obj, you would need to run
"qtile cmd-obj -o root -f display_kb" however, it's going to look pretty
ugly.
You could create a separate python file which has this:
from libqtile.command.client import InteractiveCommandClient
i = InteractiveCommandClient()
kb = i.display_kb()
for line in kb.split("\n"):
print(line)
It's pretty basic but it should work.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask here.
