  • Custom Sway configuration for tiling and floating windows.
  • Waybar configuration for a customizable status bar.
  • Keybindings for easy navigation and system control.
  • Scripts for screenshots, workspace management, and more.

Dependencies

Ensure you have the following packages installed before setting up the configuration:

  • Sway: The window manager.
  • Waybar: A customizable status bar for Wayland.
  • Grim: A screenshot tool for Wayland.
  • Slurp: A tool to select regions on Wayland.
  • wl-clipboard: Clipboard utility for Wayland.
  • SDDM: A display manager (with the astronaut theme).

You can install all dependencies using pacman:

sudo pacman -S sway waybar grim wl-clipboard slurp sddm

Installation

To set up this Sway configuration, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Vedant9500/sway_config.git
cd sway_config

  2. Run the setup script:

    A script is provided to automate the installation and setup process. Run the following command:

    ./setup_environment.sh

    This script will:

    • Install necessary packages.
    • Move configuration files to their appropriate locations.
    • Set up Waybar, wallpapers, and scripts.
    • Install and set up the SDDM astronaut theme.

  3. Enable SDDM (if not already enabled):

    sudo systemctl enable sddm

Usage

After installing, restart your system or log out and log back in. Sway should start with the configured setup.

  • Keybindings: Use $mod (usually the Super key) along with other keys to navigate, launch applications, and manage windows.
  • Waybar: The top bar will display information such as workspaces, system stats, date/time, etc.
  • Custom Scripts: Scripts provided in the repository can be used for various tasks like taking screenshots, changing wallpapers, and more.

Keybindings

Here are some of the keybindings included in this configuration:

  • $mod + T : Open terminal
  • $mod + A: Application launcher
  • $mod + alt + R: System restart
  • $mod + alt + Q: System Shutdown
  • $mod + alt + W: Logout Sway
  • $mod + P: Screenshot tools
  • $mod + [1-9]: Switch to workspace

For a complete list of keybindings, refer to the config file.

Custom Scripts

The scripts directory contains several useful scripts:

  • screenshot_clipboard.sh: Takes a screenshot and copies it to the clipboard.
  • screenshot_region_clipboard.sh: Select a region to screenshot and copy to the clipboard.
  • wlogout and swaylock integration: Scripts to handle session management and locking.

Make sure to make the scripts executable:

chmod +x ~/scripts/screenshot_clipboard.sh
chmod +x ~/scripts/screenshot_region_clipboard.sh
