A lisp configuration tool for sway window manager
This has to be compiled from source, so you need the rust toolchain installed. Not tested on rust versions older than 1.70.
Make a local clone of this repo, then run:
make install
and that should install the slippy binary to ~/.local/bin (or to whatever location this command returns: systemd-path user-binaries).
And add these lines to your sway config file:
# run at startup
exec bash -c "sleep 1; /home/<username>/.local/bin/slippy 2>&1 >> .var/slippy.log"
# reload slippy config
bindsym $mod+Shift+s exec bash -c "killall slippy; /home/<username>/.local/bin/slippy 2>&1 >> .var/slippy.log"
Slippy looks for a config file in ~/.config/slippy/config.lisp. There's a example-config.lisp file in this repo that can be used as a starting point.
Slippy uses tulisp, which is a lisp interpreter that implements a small subset of Emacs lisp. All functions exposed by tulisp can be used in slippy's config file, and a list is available at: https://docs.rs/tulisp/latest/tulisp/builtin/index.html
In addition to tulisp features, slippy currently provides these methods:
| name | description | parameters | returns |
|---|---|---|---|
| transitions | change transparency of windows as they become active or inactive | (1) duration for each transition, in ms. (2) opacity for active windows, 0.0 to 1.0. (3) opacity for inactive windows | nil |
| get-outputs | return all outputs known to sway | none | a list of plists, one plist per output |
| set-output | set output parameters | accepts keyword arguments (aka a plist) with the following keywords: :name, :scale, :resolution,:pos-x and :pos-y |
a plist for the output that was updated, with latest values. |
