.emacs.d VS dotfiles

Same here using “proper” modules to avoid having to think about load order, with host-specific configuration. Since I live in Emacs when I’m coding anyway, any loss in startup time is made up for by it being easy to manage and reason about. Since it’s easier to show rather than tell - https://github.com/brett-lempereur/.emacs.d

Here's how to do it - in this example, I'm using my sway-menu python script to generate the menu itself. I'm also moving the menu to be near the cursor:

Maybe try my script sway-runner

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 wrote a simple bash script bluetooth-timeout to power-off the linux bluetooth stack after 10m of activity. Maybe this would help you.

Another source for ideas is to read through the configs and scripts written by others. I offer my own here - there are many others around.

sway-menu

Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.

Imma gonna browse through your stuff to see if there's a scratch to a hitherto unnoticed itch that I can snarf. You might like to do the same with my dotfiles - particularly bin/sway-\, *.config/sway** and .config/waybar.

You might be able to modify my sway-next-empty-workspace script for that. Maybe see if changing swaymsg to i3-msg does the job.

I use myclipman to wrap clipman with wayland/swaywm to prevent passwords being cached.
