gtklock VS tofi

gtklock (didn't show this one in my screenshots)

I wrote gtklock for the exact purpose. Keep in mind it has some downsides compared to swaylock (doesn't use the new screen lock protocol) but looks nice and consistent with gtkgreet, has more features and is extensible with modules.

About gtklock

You can still adjust gtklock to your liking, by defining your own config and css. See https://github.com/jovanlanik/gtklock/wiki

I had a play with gtklock today and wondered if it would work with nwg-wrapper to enhance the lock screen. It turns out that they work together very well - see screenshot. I've also modified my script for various styles of locking so that it supports gtklock: mylock

I wrote gtklock to compliment gtkgreet. It uses the wlr-layer-shell and wlr-input-inhibitor Wayland protocols, works on sway and other wlroots compositors.

but as with others I generally just use tofi-drun

Tofi is missing icon support for me but otherwise appears to have a nice balance of features. I haven’t tried it yet. https://github.com/philj56/tofi

Thanks! Yeah it's a bit annoying that key repeat in Wayland is left almost entirely to the application to sort out, and as I don't really need it when I'm just launching stuff, I haven't gotten around to it yet. I probably will at some point though (especially seeing as someone else already opened an issue as well).

Done. It could do with some more keybindings in general, but those'll probably wait until I do pagination (if I do).
