| SwayFX with LDR Wallpaper |
Collection of utilities and scripts for my Sway (Swayfx) and i3 environment in Fedora.
I had an ambitious plan of making this the next best Dracula-themed tiling window manager "distro" (hence the name of the repository), now it is just a minimal Sway/i3 config for my laptop running Fedora.
I usually install Fedora i3-spin and Swayfx on top of it, as Wayland screen sharing is not reliable yet. Nonetheless, since Sway is my main WM, i3 might lack some features that Sway has.

List of keybindings different from the default i3/Sway:
jkl;->hjkl$mod + h->$mod + z: toggles hori[z]ontal split$mod + d: app launcher -> launches Rofi window switcher$mod + Space: toggles between floating/tiled windows -> launches Rofi drun$mod + b: toggles between floating/tiled windows$mod + [/]: moves the current workspace to the monitor to the left/right$mod + Shift + c/r/e: toggles thei3_mode/sway_mode, from which you can choose to reload the config, restart, or exit i3/Sway$mod + shift + r: (Sway) togglesscreenrecord modeto controlwf-recorder
$mod + Shift + m: launches a Rofi script to control connected outputs- (Sway) toggles
monitor_mode, which you can control outputs
- (Sway) toggles
$mod + Shift + p: launches a Rofi menu with power options (lock, suspend, shutdown, etc.)$mod + Shift + s: launches the screenshot tool (Flamshot)- (Sway) toggles
screenshot_modewhich you can choose area, screen, or window capture from Grimshot
- (Sway) toggles
$mod + Shift + v: launches the clipboard manager (Copy Qin i3, Clipman in Sway)
[3]= indicator in Waybar means that there are 3 windows in the scratchpad.
You can add a window to a scratchpad with $mod + Shift + - and cycle through the scratchpad with $mod + -.
[]= is inspired by the tiling window indicator in the dwm statusbar, which does not make sense in this context, but I thought it looked cute.
Features in Sway that are not implemented in i3 yet (maybe never):
- Color picker
- Screen recording
- Idle action
- Mpris (currently playing) information
Things that are better in i3:
- Clipboard tool with image support
- Compositor: fade animation, opacity for inactive (including the lock screen)
- Screen sharing in Flatpak application
