Qtile config Identation error in layouts

Support Software & Applications

I have a bit of a problem here. After managing my keybinds in qtile and restarted, i noticed that there was an error for the layouts. I tried to fix it myself multiple times in the span of 30 minutes but nothing worked for me, there was always this error that doesn’t seem to be really fixed whatever i did… (I don’t really know any python so yea)
btw here was the logs i did when doing qtile -l ERROR:

The output indicates that there is an IndentationError in line 101 in your config.py file.

This line includes something like this:

layouts = ...

To fix it you have to use the right indentation before the word layouts.

3

python is very strict when it comes to indentation.

4 spaces - with the appropriate levels - no more no less and no tabs.

Thanks guys, I actually heard that the manjaro forums don’t really do their job here, guess they’re really wrong
