Hi.
first, I’m not good in English.
I installed EndeavourOS Qtile Edition less than a week.
I used Qtile about one year and know something about it.
the grow window keybinding in Eos config doesn’t work.
I use mod + control + h, j, k and l but nothing happened. if I use the default config of Qtile itself. this keybinding work fine and window size will change correctly but with Eos config, nothing !!!
Are you sure you copied all the folders required for qtile on eos?
I can see that these keybindings are in the .config/qtile/modules/keys.py folder. The eos version is not the typical one file config.py, looks like additional script and modules were prepared.
files are in the right location by default.
configs seems to be without any problem but I can’t change size of windows.

Are these all located under .config/qtile in your home folder? Couldn’t gather that info from your post.
If you change other things in your config does it pick it up when you restart/refresh qtile? Just trying fonts or something similar?
yes. these files are located under ~/.config/qtile.
I just added a keybinding for firefox:
mod = "mod4"
terminal = "xfce4-terminal"
browser = "firefox"
...
...
Key([mod], "b", lazy.spawn(browser))
What I would probably do is download the default qtile config file (not the one from EOS) and try adding the resize window script.
We don’t really know changes you may have done to the eos qtile config file on your system with the snippet of script you posted here, so it’s difficult to troubleshoot.
If you used the default eos qtile files and configs without any changes and it didn’t work, I suggest contacting the git repo maintainer @codic12 to check it out…
They’re definitely bound keys:
Key([mod, "control"],
"h",
lazy.layout.grow_left(),
desc="Grow window to the left"),
Key([mod, "control"],
"l",
lazy.layout.grow_right(),
desc="Grow window to the right"),
Key([mod, "control"],
"j",
lazy.layout.grow_down(),
desc="Grow window down"),
Key([mod, "control"], "k", lazy.layout.grow_up(), desc="Grow window up"),
So I have no clue why it doesn’t work for you. Can you try checking qtile’s logs?
I don’t know how to check Qtile’s log!!
https://docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/troubleshooting.html
When Qtile is running, it logs error messages (and other messages) to its log file. This is found at
~/.local/share/qtile/qtile.log. This is the first place to check to see what is going on. If you are getting unexpected errors from normal usage or your configuration (and you’re not doing something wacky) and believe you have found a bug, then please report a bug.
Here is logs:

It doesn’t work for me either. And I’m using MonadTall layout, which is default in EOS. It works only if I use Columns layout.
