kanshi VS xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

Without digging into you problem, i just let you know one options/tool as an addition: https://github.com/emersion/kanshi

This works, but after a reload of the config the configuration is gone. Then I found this discussion and changed the line to:

Kanshi is not exactly what you're looking for but i stumbled across this when I was writing the dynamic display configuration page.

You should use different scale factors on each monitor. You can do it in your sway configuration, or use something like kanshi that automatically applies different settings based on what is connected.

If this fixes your problem you'll want to apply this fix: Disable Laptop screen upon closing screen. or you can use something like Automatic display profile switcher when you connect your external display to switch it to while also disabling your laptop screen.

I also heard of kanshi for monitor configuration, but I believe there's an open bug where sway reload breaks kanshi config... which kind of defeats the purpose.

kanshi should be able to do it.

Assuming your connected monitors may change - you plug another one in and then you want to move workspaces the new output: kanshi can help you with that. You can tell kanshi to execute commands when it matches a profile.

For this you can use kanshi.

It comes with a systemd service file https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.service.in that you can use

Are you running the Wayland envvar for Firefox, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1? Because the rest of your setup sounds very similar to my (working) setup. You could also run the Python test script included with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (bottom of this page) as a sanity check that nothing's going wrong there

You'll need this

I believe that a lot of the current approach to fixing it is something similar to xdg-desktop-portal. That's for signaling for screenshots, but a similar idea could work for listening for key events without being focused, apparently. It bypasses the standard Wayland system completely and uses D-Bus and Pipewire instead. I'm not too familiar with the details myself, though.

I don't know which of the xdg-desktop-portal backends you would need for gamescope, but xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a config file which it reads where you can set the preferred output and set the chooser_type to none. That makes it skip the screen selector for me.
