Running Qtile as a Wayland Compositor

Some functionality may not yet be implemented in the Wayland compositor. Please see the discussion here to see the current state of development. Also see troubleshooting <debugging-wayland>.

Backend-Specific Configuration

If you want your config file to work with different backends but want some options set differently per backend, you can check the name of the current backend in your config as follows:

from libqtile import qtile

if qtile.core.name == "x11":
    term = "urxvt"
elif qtile.core.name == "wayland":
    term = "foot"

Running X11-Only Programs

Qtile _does support XWayland. This requires that wlroots and pywlroots were built with XWayland support, and that XWayland is installed on the system from startup. XWayland will be started the first time it is needed.

XWayland windows sometimes don't receive mouse events

There is currently a known bug (#3675) which causes pointer events (hover/click/scroll) to propagate to the wrong window when switching focus.

Input Device Configuration

If you want to change keyboard configuration during runtime, you can use the core's set_keymap command (see below).
