linux-scripts

A collection of personal scripts I use on Linux

List of Scripts:

• detect_onlywindow.py - Hides SwayWM title bar if there is only one tiled window in a workspace (see issue #4132) Run it in the background with an exec command in Sway config.

  • Known issues:
    • Warning - Certain XWayland dialog windows (KiCad is the most affected program for me) will cause the script to softlock the WM. After the code has been changed, this issue is currently being monitored.

• switch_desktop.py - Prevents swaymsg workspace left|right from wrapping around the other direction and isolates the movement to each output (display).

  • Use the following commands for macOS-style three finger swipe navigation (note that left/right are reversed akin to 'natural scrolling'):
  • bindgesture swipe:3:left exec "python /path/to/switch_desktop.py right
  • bindgesture swipe:3:right exec "python /path/to/switch_desktop.py left

• wlsunset.sh - Script to use with waybar to enable/disable wlsunset

  • The script uses ip-api to get location, and will by default timeout after 30 tries every 2 seconds
  • Waybar config (if you have another widget which uses signal to update, ensure that each widget has a unique signal number):

    "custom/wlsunset": {
        "interval": "once",
        "exec": "if pgrep wlsunset >/dev/null 2>&1; then stdbuf -oL printf '{\"alt\": \"on\"}'; else stdbuf -oL printf '{\"alt\": \"off\"}'; fi",
        "on-click": "sh /path/to/wlsunset.sh",
        "signal": 1, // SIGRTMIN+1 or 35
        "return-type": "json",
        "format": "{icon}",
        "tooltip-format": "wlsunset: {alt}",
        "format-icons": {
            "off": "☀️",
            "on": "🌙"
        }
    }
