sway-dynamic-workspace

Enable dynamic workspace and empty workspace for sway like gnome and bspwm

ToDo

  1. Support multiple monitors
  2. Rewrite fully in C

How to use

  1. Install sway-dynamic-workspace script in your $PATH.

    e.g.

    git clone https://github.com/kohnish/sway-dynamic-workspace.git
cd sway-dynamic-workspace
cp sway-dynamic-workspace -o ~/bin/
chmod +x ~/bin/sway-dynamic-workspace
cp sway-keep-workspace -o ~/bin/
chmod +x ~/bin/sway-keep-workspace
cp sway-resize -o ~/bin/
chmod +x ~/bin/sway-resize
cd hello-wayland
make
cp hello-wayland ~/bin/

  2. Configure key binding in the sway config.

    e.g.

    # Always keep one empty workspace (requires executable called hello-wayland(blank dot gui process) in the PATH)
exec sway-keep-workspace

# Move current node to next dynamic workspace (maximize)
bindsym $mod+f exec sway-dynamic-workspace

# Disable cycling workspaces
bindsym $mod+up exec sway-dynamic-workspace prev
bindsym $mod+down exec sway-dynamic-workspace next

# Toggle focus within a workspace
bindsym $mod+tab exec sway-dynamic-workspace toggle-focus

# Toggle swap windows within a workspace
bindsym $mod+s exec sway-dynamic-workspace swap

# Enable quake mode with alacritty
set $toggle_maximize_cmd sway-dynamic-workspace toggle-maximize 3440 700 0 0 3440 1408
for_window [app_id="alacritty_quake"] floating enable, sticky enable, exec $toggle_maximize_cmd
bindsym f12 exec sway-dynamic-workspace toggle-hidden alacritty_quake 'TERM_PROGRAM=alacritty_quake alacritty --class=alacritty_quake --detach'
bindsym f11 exec $toggle_maximize_cmd

# Resize nodes
bindsym ctrl+shift+h exec sway-resize left 1
bindsym ctrl+shift+l exec sway-resize right 1
bindsym ctrl+shift+j exec sway-resize down 1
bindsym ctrl+shift+k exec sway-resize up 1
