FAQ

  • Add Print for screenshot use-case (grim -g "`slurp`")
  • Add XF86PowerOff for logout manager use-case (wlogout?)
  • how to adjust "dynamic" env vars like PATH, e.g.
    • inherit environment, so setting it before starting labwc
    • having it in .bashrc might require using bash -i -c in the keybind, at least on some distros (Debian when not restarting labwc after changes to .bashrc)
    • having it in .profile might require using sh -l in the keybind, depending on how labwc was started
      • if the env var is already set when starting labwc the -l argument is not required because labwc (and thus the Execute action) inherits its startup environment
    • ..
  • The Execute action doesn't use a shell, how to use && and similar things in a keybind
    • easiest solution: external script which then gets called via the keybind
    • prefixing the command by sh -c like sh -c "command 1; command 2;"
    • due to the XML nature of the config file, some characters have to be escaped, like & -> & or > -> >
  • How to force a specific output for applications: Anyway to pick which display a program opens in? labwc#1136 (comment)
  • https://labwc.github.io/faq.html#server-side-decoration misses a * window rule with serverDecoration="no"
