I have set up exwm in emacs so my qtile +configuration is no longer being worked on as it is being +replaced by exwm. + +EXWM is nice because the keybindings are consistent. You can +treat x window buffers in the same way you do text buffers, +and the modeline can act as a status bar. The modeline has +battery percentage and time built into it which makes it +a bar replacement as those two things are the only thing +I need really. + +What's nice is that if there is something going on inside emacs +and you are in another application, you can see it via the modeline, +whereas you would need notifications if you were to do this +in a conventional window manager. For example, i can get irc notifications +from my emacs irc client by simply glancing at the modeline while I am +in, say, qutebrowser. + +I'm currently looking into xwidgets in order to replace my web browser +in favor of emacs.
