cl-xrandr-dmenu

A dmenu interface for xrandr written in Common Lisp.

The dmenu interface is heavily inspired by Powerlisp.

This script is intended to replace some bash scripts for my screen setup. Right now it is able to turn xrandr outputs on and off, manipulate their relative position, rotate them and change which one is primary.

There’s also a function that automatically fixes the screen set up in case a screen was disconnected before the output was disabled.

Dependencies

dmenu
sbcl
quicklisp
libnotify (notify-send)

Usage

xrandr-dmenu [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -h, --help            Display help and exit
  -f, --no-output-fix   By default xrandr dmenu checks if `xrandr
                        --list-monitors' lists more monitors than `xrandr' lists
                        active outputs and disables any surplus monitors. This
                        option turns that behavior off.

WM Options:
  These options handle things specifc to the windowmanager in use.

  -i, --restart-i3      if this option is specified i3 will be restarted after
                        every xrandr action. Probably causes problems if i3 is
                        not installed or running.
