Sway productivity tips
I've been content with my sway configs (dpgraham4401/.dotfiles) for about 2 years, but maybe it's time to see what else is out there. I'm looking for tips/programs/widgets/anything that you've added to your sway setup that you use all the time and has either made your setup more productive or more enjoyable. open floor, links to configs welcome.

How to accept text input in swaynag?
Not the best example but If you look at my waybar configs, at the very bottom, there's a Waybar power button that uses swaynag. You can substitute those flags (number of buttons, text, colors) for variables.

Icons for waybar
If using font-awesome as an icon, I don't believe you can make the icon bigger without making the text bigger. https://github.com/dpgraham4401/dotfiles-sway/tree/master/.config/waybar

Bash Menu
I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

Run scripts using keybindings in default settings
I know that dmenu won't work on wayland, hence I installed bemenu as a drop-in replacement. Now I want to configure keybindings for my scripts using the default settings, but they don't seem to work. Running my scripts from the terminal work, but not when running them via keybinding.
-
command line menu / launcher?
bemenu (i. e. bemenu-run) is a simple launcher that has command line interface (set with BEMENU_BACKEND environment variable), also fzf can be useful in this regard but it will most likely require writing additional scripts to work as a launcher.
-
The end of the nice GTK button
I've already highlighted how using environment variables to change themes is a horrible user experience. The bemenu program suffers from the same flaw. Environment Variables should never be used in any way for values that might change inside a running session.

No_color
Environment variables are fine when used for things that usually don't change once they're set. For example, XDG_CONFIG_HOME or GOPATH. They are, however, absolutely awful when used to configure values that will probably change inside a session. A good example is BEMENU_OPTS from the bemenu program, which is used to change colors, font etc. Should I relogin into my session just to make a program use dark mode colors?
https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu#environment-variables
In such cases, environment variables lose their intended purpose and they need to be stuffed into wrapper scripts or overridden on the command line before executing a command, which is extremely annoying.

tessen: an interactive menu to autotype and copy password store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
tessen can use either bemenu, the wayland fork of rofi, or wofi to show password store data. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs root privileges.
What are some alternatives?
