  • Start the window manager, if it is not running already (should ideally be run from `.xsession` or similar):
    qtile start
  • Check the configuration file for any compilation errors (default location is `~/.config/qtile/config.py`):
    qtile check
  • Show current resource usage information:
    qtile top --force
  • Open the program `xterm` as a floating window on the group named `test-group`:
    qtile run-cmd --group test-group --float xterm
  • Restart the window manager:
    qtile cmd-obj --object cmd --function restart
