Configuration

I made the qtile configuration in a way that almost everything is easly tweakable without any python or qtile knowledge. Just edit the variables at the start of the config in the variables category.

Important : This dotfiles is initially made for azerty keyboards so by default on a qwerty keyboard the numbers keys won't work.
