swaymode-exec
Hi, this is a daemon for sway that runs commands on kekybind mode changes.
I like to use it to set screen timeouts or for custom keybinds for eww.
Configuring
# This should go into $HOME/${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-.config}/swaymode-exec.toml
# All commands are run by sh; so if you need to run multiple commands use '&'
[mode-name-to-trigger-on]
start = "command-to-run-when-mode-is-activated"
end = "command-to-run-when-mode-is-deactivated"
kill_start = "command-to-run-when-mode-is-activated-and-to-kill-when-mode-is-deactivated"
ToDo:
- specify custom config file
- run commands via swayipc
- warn if sway does not know the mode specified in the config file
- handle shell commands that fail
