dotfiles VS mako

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.

So, using this github issue as a reference, I'm trying to make a wofi menu that appears when a bluetooth file transmission is sent to my PC from my phone (or any other device for that matter).

I currently use mako for the notifications. When I play Strategy Games (Mouse is all over the place) and a notifcation pops up, the mouse gets stuck on the notification message until I click it.

I use avizo as a volume indicator, mako for notifications generally.

I guess some standard notifications app like https://github.com/emersion/mako doesn't suffice, as it isn't related to a window?

mako is a Wayland notification daemon from one of the principal Sway/wlroots devs, and is currently provided with openSUSEway. It's pretty minimalist, but so are most things in the Sway/wlroots ecosystem.

It's a notification, I use mako: https://github.com/emersion/mako

Notifications: mako

Is there any way to force dbus to use a specific notification daemon? On one of my systems, I run both Plasma and Sway. The latter obviously doesn't have a notification system, so I'm using mako. As far as I can tell, mako automatically launches when a notification is fired, however this causes an issue with Plasma. Plasma seems to be shutting down its own notification daemon in favor of anything else that's running, and I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent it from doing that

I don’t use Thunderbird, but does it support using FreeDesktop notifications e.g. that would work with Mako? Some applications will fall back to their own windows if there’s no notification daemon running.
