Thanks for the messages,
Magus - I checked the cat logs and there are a bunch of errors though I
can't really make sense of them relating to the script/command. The script
is a rofi script that opens a rofi window. I can attach my full log and
send it to the thread if it would help, however I've added an excerpt of
the errors I get upon restarting qtile (there are no changes to the log
file after running the keybind).
And ah Justine I looked through your config - thank you. Would the
qtile.cmd_spawn(os.path.expanduser("~/path/to/file.sh")
code work even in keybinds to execute a bash script?
