What's this?
Swaymux aims at making navigation in sway easier. To achieve this, swaymux provides a main interface listing the full tree of outputs, workspaces, containers, as well as the scratchpad. This main interface is primarily inspired by tmux. Swaymux can be navigated using the keyboard, with keybindings that closely follow the tmux bindings.
This project is not feature-complete, far from it. So far swaymux supports listing and navigating into outputs, workspaces and containers, creating a new workspace, or creating a workspace with all currently marked containers.
Planned features and fixes include closing windows from within swaymux without specifically jumping to them, better keyboard navigation through the sway tree in the main interface, a closer look at performance tweaking, as well as maybe even iconification of containers where applicable.
Installing
Swaymux is packaged as a nix flake. To install it, add the flake input, e.g. using the following snippet:
swaymux = {
url = "git+https://git.grimmauld.de/Grimmauld/swaymux";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
Make sure you can request inputs as part of where you install it. Adding swaymux to the actual system then is as easy as putting it into your packages:
environment.systemPackages = [
inputs.swaymux.packages."${system}".default
];
Keep in mind you'll need to make the system constant available, e.g. by setting specialArgs = { inherit inputs system; }; as part of your nixosSystem definition in your systems flake.
Once the package is available, it can be made available in sway by keybinding. Setting swaymux to be floating is recommended.
for_window [app_id="swaymux"] floating enable
bindsym $mod+c exec swaymux
Available key bindings can be viewed in-App.
