swaywm

I miss the keyboard friendliness of HUDs and how you could search the menu quickly....

I noticed this immediately because I use kanshi (highly recommended for laptops running sway!). I don’t know the how or why (maybe it’s the wlroots bump), but when I upgraded Sway to 1.9 today, the Hex ID form one of my external monitors changed. So I had to update it in the config for kanshi to work again....

So I migrated from i3 to sway. Had a python script that I found on the internets that did this, and really like the functionality. Figured I’d give an attempt at making my own script in bash. My programming skills and bash scripting aren’t great, so I had chatGPT help me with some syntax. Thought others might be interested...

Okay, I am super new to tiling windows managers, and let me just say - Sway made me an instant convert. I’m obsessed. But I still have no clue what I’m doing....

Hi !...

Satty has seen a new release v0.2.0. We fixed some bugs, got brand new marker tool and got tooltips (contributed by @noornee)....

I wrote a script and bound it to a key combo so I can draw a rectangle on the screen and map my drawing tablet to that area....

As a geriatric user of sway, I don’t always remember the keystrokes in the more esoteric corners of my configuration. I find that my script sway-menu helps with the bulk of the uncommon key bindings. But when I drop into a ‘mode’ (eg “move” mode) I don’t always remember all the clever things I programed into it....

I’m new to Sway. I don’t know how to describe this clearly, but I’d like to get a messaging app to autostart in workspace 3 on every boot. That app runs inside a foot terminal....

Hello all, I love finding applications that feel minimal and do their job well, i.e. zathura, qview, etc....

Also posted this on Reddit, but doing so as well here for visibility, and also because I like Lemmy and want to see more activity here! :D...

Hi, I have 2 monitors with freesync. When I try to enable adative sync on sway, it makes most windows flickers. If I disable it on sway but keep it on in monitor settings, It gets a little bit darker and during game play it won’t work because I can see tearings even though FPS is in the range of free sync.

hi!
