What I'd like to do is this:
swayidle --ignore XF86AudioLowerVolume,XF86AudioPlay -w timeout 1800 'swaymsg "output * dpms off"'
When XF86AudioPlay
is pressed it gets through to sway
(and in turn to mpc
) without waking up the monitor. The use case for this is controlling the PC as a music box only, without waking up the monitor (light pollution). Using hardware button to completely turn off the monitor is no good - like many monitors, mine has a glowing button (bright white when turned on, bright orange when suspended), so I isolated it. Controlling DPMS with software only.
