Full implementation of nwg-shell for sway in ArchLabs Linux 2022.01.18
Maybe you could use a separate config file for keybinds, that is included in the default config. Then you can open that file in an editor to edit the bindings and with some added markup the shortcut overlay could be automatically created https://github.com/alexrochas/i3wm-Cheatsheet/tree/master https://github.com/tmccombs/i3-cheat

Using nwg-wrapper for a HUD of help for sway modes
Usage: sway-mode [-c,--config config-file] [-C,--css css-file] mode Puts sway into mode 'mode' and displays some help by extracting a section from the config file. Options: -c,--config config_file location of your config file (/home/bhepple/.config/sway/config) -C,--css css_file location of your css file (/home/bhepple/.config/nwg-wrapper/mode-help.css) Requires nwg-wrapper https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-wrapper Assumes modes are defined in the config file like this: mode "foobar" { ... } To use this, reassign the bindkey command for the mode like this: bindsym $mod+s exec sway-mode "swap" and in the mode definition, change the mode ending keys to # back to default mode bindsym q exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" bindsym Return exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" bindsym Escape exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" Here's a sample CSS file: window { font-family: "Monospace"; color: rgba (255, 255, 255, 1.0); background-color: rgba (255, 255, 255, 0.1); } #box-inner { background-color: rgba (23, 53, 63, 0.7); border-radius: 5px; border-style: dotted; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgba (156, 142, 122, 0.7); padding: 10px; }

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

Counting down before gtklock or suspend

is a good practice to put ANY idea on github?
Nope. https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-wrapper/commit/f4c4dc6e9a568ade8b3bce02d73f528a50b02928

Any tip on optimizing this?
Here's my script. It forks off a playerctl --follow with a custom format to work around read skipping empty items (like a song without an artist). You don't have to do that, I just prefer that so I can add nwg-wrapper to view album art and song title on my desktop without spinning up another playerctl read loop.
- Is there some app that lets you launch a simple text overlay?

Show local IP permanent on desktop
If your compositor supports layer-shell (i.e., not Gnome) then maybe nwg-wrapper would work.

gtklock and nwg-wrapper - let's rice the lock!
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
