I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.

Another tool you can consider is i3blocks, which really is just a light layer on top of the default i3bar but uses a more readable config format.

labwc?

Project mention: (Fedora 38 + Hyprland) - I am at home, my search is over. | /r/hyprland | 2023-09-12
swaync (notification daemon)

WorkOS

What are the chances of SwayFX being added to the repo ? I see someone had put in a PR but it was never accepted and also the package is now at version 0.3 whereas the person who put in the PR is still at 0.2 since April. Would it be bad practice for me to put in an updated PR that works as I'd be keen to maintain that package for sure ?

Project mention: Dropping GNOME's X11 session approved for Fedora 41 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07
You can run remote applications with Wayland now: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...
There is also a VNC server for fullscreen sessions (only supports wlroots compositors for now): https://github.com/any1/wayvnc

I think swappy works great as a screenshot annotation tool.

autotiling
Script for sway and i3 to automatically switch the horizontal / vertical window split orientation
# i1 config file (v4) # # Please see https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html for a complete reference! # # This config file uses keycodes (bindsym) and was written for the QWERTY # layout. # # To get a config file with the same key positions, but for your current # layout, use the i3-config-wizard # The modifier used all along this configuration file. It is the super key. # Mod1 = Alt, Mod4 = super set $mod Mod4 # local conf.

I am using the Fedora 38 Sway Spin and I want to change the swayidle behaviour, because I want to use swaylock-effects instead of swaylock.

sway-launcher-desktop
TUI Application launcher with Desktop Entry support. Made for SwayWM, but runs anywhere
Project mention: Sway-Talisman: Terminal Application Launcher in Scratchpad, Minimalist And Native | /r/swaywm | 2023-12-06Is it better than https://github.com/Biont/sway-launcher-desktop ?

Project mention: runwhenidle - Linux utility that can automatically pause a computationally-intensive command when user is in front of a computer and resume it when they are away. | /r/linux | 2023-05-14
X11 is not necessary. For example: swayidle.

To work around it, it seems that one have to use a clipboard manager. Under X11 I used CopyQ, which did solve it for me then. Now under Wayland I did not get CopyQ to work out of the box. I have instead tried using cliphist https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist

nixpkgs-wayland
Automated, pre-built packages for Wayland (sway/wlroots) tools for NixOS. [maintainers=@colemickens, @Artturin]
Pro-tip: use https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-wayland if you want Nvidia support and more frequently updating versions over nixpkgs.
