Thanks for the reply.
I actually did try it with and without the braces. Qtile reloads fine,
vscode doesn''t show any errors but the textbox just doesn't update. Here
is the snippet.
def change_text():
c=InteractiveCommandClient()
c.widget['textbox'].update('replaced_text')
screens=[
Screen(
bottom=bar.Bar(widget.TextBox('text', mouse_callbacks={'Button1' :
change_text}
)
It just doesn't change on mouse click. What are the other ways to access
widgets and update them in config.py?
