Global keybindings and some defaults. Imports from libqtile.config import Key from libqtile.lazy import lazy Define some defaults The mod4 key is the logo key — usually a Windows logo on most keyboards I see. mod = "mod4" My preferred terminal emulator is WezTerm. terminal = "wezterm" Define keybindings Just dumping the defaults for now.
