Print a table of the current keybindings in qtile

This is a modified version of the qtile-cmd script
https://gist.github.com/purarue/b94254dc5b731a57c2e525de699887ad
"""

from libqtile.ipc import find_sockfile, Client
from libqtile.command_client import InteractiveCommandClient
from libqtile.command_interface import IPCCommandInterface


def main():
    "Prints a table of current keybindings."
    ipc_client = Client(find_sockfile())
    cmd_object = IPCCommandInterface(ipc_client)
    cmd_client = InteractiveCommandClient(cmd_object)
    print(getattr(cmd_client, "display_kb")())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

This does already exist in qtile-cmd but the pprint call messes up the output and makes it look unreadable.

This could be installed by doing:

curl "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/purarue/b94254dc5b731a57c2e525de699887ad/raw/40e9229112f0fdbf1555de9c79d251e5bde3602c/qtile_display_kb.py" > ./qtile_keybinds && chmod u+x qtile_keybinds && sudo mv qtile_keybinds /usr/local/bin

which downloads this, makes it executable and puts it your $PATH as qtile_keybinds

Example Output:
