🔮 A flexible, tree-based layout for Qtile

qtile-plasma's Issues

Installation question

I'm currently on develop branch of qtile and installed one with pip3 install -e ..

Does this layout support develop branch and how can I install it without replacing my current installation (qtile-plasma package loads stable version of qtile by dependencies). I'm not a Python developer, so question might be silly, but nevertheless.

What qtile version is supported?

I'm getting following error both with 0.10.7 and recently released 0.11.0:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Python 3.11 Compatability

The current version of the code is not compatible with Python 3.11. Specifically, individual values of enums cannot be unpacked anymore. So lines like

qtile-plasma/plasma/node.py

Line 20 in 4b57f31

HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL = Orient

and

qtile-plasma/plasma/node.py

Line 36 in 4b57f31

UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = Direction

are no longer valid and have to be replaced with

HORIZONTAL = Orient.HORIZONTAL
VERTICAL   = Orient.VERTICAL

and

UP    = Direction.UP
DOWN  = Direction.DOWN
LEFT  = Direction.LEFT
RIGHT = Direction.RIGHT

Maintain layout on qtile restart

It'd be nice if when qtile restarts the layout was kept. Getting the window sizes to stick if changes in monitor happen maybe tough, but at least getting the vertical/horizontal tiling part correct would be quite nice.

Possible to get lazy.layout.left() and lazy.layout.right() to work across screens? (and groups)

Title pretty much says it. With i3 I can move across groups (workspaces) directionally, the equivalent of lazy.layout.left() and lazy.layout.right(), and this works across screens (monitors), and therefore, workspaces as well. Is it possible to do this with qtile-plasma?

mode_vertical/horizontal

Following methods from readme seem to be either not implemented or not working properly:

• lazy.layout.mode_horizontal()
• lazy.layout.mode_vertical()
• lazy.layout.mode_horizontal_split()
• lazy.layout.mode_vertical_split()

The plasma layout doesn't follow layout theme

I really like your work.
However, there is only one thing that is causing me to hold back on making it my default layout. When I resize the window, the border turns into the color emerald blue, and after that the border I specified in my layout theme is completely gone. Is there anyway to fix this?

Error in `from plasma import Plasma` for new python version.

Arch recently updated python to 3.11, since then I have not been able to use Plasma. Running
python config.py gives the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/roshan/.config/qtile/config.py", line 11, in <module>
    from plasma import Plasma
  File "/home/roshan/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/plasma/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .layout import Plasma

  File "/home/roshan/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/plasma/node.py", line 20, in <module>
    HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL = Orient
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

This error is just because of the import, it persists even if I'm not using the library ever again in the config.

reset_size() not working after a vertical split

Reset_size() has not no effect after performing a vertical split. After closing the vertical split window it works fine.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open two windows
2. Change split mode to vertical
3. Open a third window
4. grow/shrink the window
5. Call reset_size()

5th step should reset/normalize the size of all windows but it has no effect

Is this still maintained?

@numirias Are you still interested in maintaining this package? If not, I'd be willing to try and keep it going. There's still quite a few people who like to use this layout and the current version here is now broken for newer Python versions (see #29 #28).

Bring some options from Qtile's Tile layout

I'm currently using Tile as primary layout. I'd like to switch to Plasma, but it lacks some major options before I can to the switch:

• ratio
• masterWindows
• expand
• ratio_increment
• add_on_top
• add_after_last
• shift_windows
• master_match

These are mostly trivial and I believe corresponding functions can be mostly copied from Tile layout's source code.

v0.23.0 Update Requirements

Updating to qtile v0.23.0 requires making the changes, see this commit in my fork: jrwrigh@cbe487d

Hopefully I'll find time to make an actual fork...

setting width from qtile shell / client_managed hook

Hi, Ive been trying to set the width of a program from within a hook, so that as soon as I launch for example MPV, it will resize it to a width of 1920.
On trying to run the command from qtile shell,
layout > width(500)

File "/home/gary/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/plasma/node.py", line 328, in size
val = max(min(val, self.parent.capacity - occupied),
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

I am sorry, I don't know how to submit a patch, but I fixed this by changing line 328 of node.py to

val = max(min(int(val), self.parent.capacity - occupied),

to change the type of val to an integer

I am still having trouble calling the width function directly from within a hook, but I am unsure if I am doing it correctly or if this is just unsupported, I would be appreciative if you could give me some direction on how to accomplish this? I have a rather hacky solution in place at the moment to simulate a keypress which is bound to the lazy.layout.width() function

Thank you

Adding to main qtile repo

numirias,

I'm one of the qtile developers and wanted to leave a note to say a big thank you for your work on this layout.

It's very popular with some of our users so we're going to incorporate it into the main qtile codebase (with full acknowledgement to you) so even more people can use it.

So thanks again for the work here. We appreciate you!

Video demo

From reading the readme, I'm finding it difficult to visualise how this layout works. Please consider adding a short video demo showing the basics of this layout.

Error from Qtile Check

After the installation of qtile-plasma through pip, I added this line to my config.py file
from plasma import Plasma

and got the following error from "qtile check". What may be wrong?

Qtile focus behavior (below, above)

Hi,

When I used the BSP layout of Qtile and I use conky for instance, the terminal windows are above conky
But when I use Plasma layout conky is above my terminals. The config I use is:

"from plasma import Plasma" crashes qtile on Ubuntu

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and even just importing the Plasma class seems to crash qtile and cause it to resort to the default config. Any ideas why this is happening?

Plasma is installed correctly and I've had a look through the source and I can't see anything in the __init__ that could be running on import. Is import order important?
