It would also be possible to use a single config file and check for every single key whether the desktop is empty, but this would be uglier, so I haven't bothered trying it. The approach I'm using doesn't usually cause problems, and I've mostly (completely I think) prevented rapid changes between an empty and non-empty desktop (e.g. dropdown toggling) from resulting in the wrong sxhkd config being loaded. The only annoyance with this is that sxhkd configs can't source other configs, so I have all the normal keybindings replicated in the new sxhkd config.

See my [[file:./common/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc][bspwmrc]] and the corresponding [[file:./scripts/bin/bspwm/maybe_reload_sxhkd][script]].

** Use Ranger/Dired Instead of Default GUI Popup for File Saving
Pentadactyl already has :w and ;s, which allow for typing out file paths with tab completion. This is cumbersome especially for deeply nested directories. I used to just use an alias to open ranger in my downloads folder and save there automatically. I found even then that I didn't always get around to moving stuff, so now I have an autocommand to send the file name on download to a script which will open a floating terminal with ranger running and pass the file location to ranger's --selectfile and cut it (see [[file:./scripts/bin/ranger/dl_move][dl_move]]). The script also works with dired which when used with emacsclient can potentially start a lot faster than ranger. Qutebrowser doesn't currently have a way to replicate this autocommand, but you can use a script to open the most recent download.
