Application launcher
An application launcher may be used to easily start applications in Wayfire.
Tofi
For a fast and lightweight application launcher it's recommended to use tofi which starts in a few miliseconds if configured correctly. To install it:
# xbps-install -Sy tofi
Tofi can be configured by editing .config/tofi/config.
cp -r {config-files-repo}/tofi .config/
To launch tofi through a keybind it has to be bound in .config/wayfire.ini.
[command]
binding_launcher = <super> KEY_S
command_launcher = tofi-drun | xargs /bin/bash -c -- & exit
Wofi
Although the wofi package is no longer maintained and is generally less optimised compared to tofi it does have some important features that tofi does not have. Such as, a better positioning protocol.
To install the wofi package.
# xbps-install -Sy wofi
Wofi may be configured by editing .config/wofi/config.
$ cp -r {config-files-repo}/wofi .config/
Wofi may be launched with a keybind, thereby edit .config/wayfire.ini.
[command]
binding_launcher = <super> KEY_S
command_launcher = wofi --show drun
Wlogout
Wlogout may be used as a specific launcher for power management options. Such as, reboot, suspend and to power off the system.
To install the wlogout package.
# xbps-install -Sy wlogout
Wlogout can be configured by editing .config/wlogout/layout.
$ cp -r {config-files-repo}/wlogout .config/
# cp {config-files-repo}/extra/wlogout-icons/* /usr/share/wlogout/icons/
Wlogout can be launched with a keybind, thereby edit .config/wayfire.ini.
[command]
binding_wlogout = <super> KEY_P
command_wlogout = wlogout
Wlogout needs permission to shutdown the system. This permission can be given by creating /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/00-power-management.rules and inserting.
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject)
{
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.policykit.exec" && action.lookup("program") == "/bin/shutdown" && subject.isInGroup("wheel"))
return polkit.Result.YES;
});
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject)
{
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.policykit.exec" && action.lookup("program") == "/bin/zzz" && subject.isInGroup("wheel"))
return polkit.Result.YES;
});
or
# cp {config-files-repo}/polkit/00-power-management.rules /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
