wm-scripts

What is it?

This is essentially just a script library, which adds some quality of life things for your wayland display manager (could also work with x11 but i do not test x11 stuff!)

key-highlights

• wm-term: This script detects some of the terminal emulators to use (like: ghostty, kitty, foot, alacritty..) and on execution, just starts a new terminal instance. When executed with a command like: wm-term ssh john@some-server - it would spawn a new terminal instance with the command provided directly. Also you can force a supported terminal with setting WM_TERMINAL before executing. Like: WM_TERMINAL=alacritty wm-term youtube-tui. Keep in mind, currently we have a limited count of supported terminals. More to come..

• wm-volume: This script is really cool. It detects the audio provider, and lets you easily control volume with simple commands like:

  • wm-volume down --> lowers the volume
  • wm-volume up --> uppers the volume
  • wm-volume mute --> toggles mute for current device

• wm-wallpaper: This one is also pretty cool: it lets you either select a wallpaper file direclty to set with wm-wallpaper select, or you can just set one randomly with wm-wallpaper random. It uses swww, awww or wbg.

You can still find more in this repo which might help you along the way. You can always make a pull request if you want to have some generalized functionality around your wayland windowmanager experience.
