Shortly after starting this project I discovered https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd and migrated to using it. I highly recommend it!
keynav-wayland is an implementation of keynav for wayland! It may not be drop in compatible with your existing keynavrc, but it supports most of the core keynav commands and just requires a few slight modifications to how keybindings are recorded (comprehensive documentation to come).
Start by creating a config at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/keynav/keynavrc. A good starting point is:
Escape end
Control+bracketleft end
h cut-left
j cut-down
k cut-up
l cut-right
Shift+h move-left
Shift+j move-down
Shift+k move-up
Shift+l move-right
space warp,click 1,end
Return warp,click 1,end
semicolon warp,end
w warp
c cursorzoom 300 300
e end
1 click 1
2 click 2
3 click 3
Control+h cut-left
Control+j cut-down
Control+k cut-up
Control+l cut-right
y cut-left,cut-up
u cut-right,cut-up
b cut-left,cut-down
n cut-right,cut-down
Shift+y move-left,move-up
Shift+u move-right,move-up
Shift+b move-left,move-down
Shift+n move-right,move-down
Control+y cut-left,cut-up
Control+u cut-right,cut-up
Control+b cut-left,cut-down
Control+n cut-right,cut-down
Typically you'll then want to set up a keybinding to start this app eg with
bindsym Control+semicolon exec keynav-wayland
in sway.
No tricks here, just standard cargo build and/or cargo install.
Aside from core wayland, this app requires the wlr layer shell and virtual pointer protocols, both of which are unstable. This app should work on any wlroots based compositor but has only been tested on sway.
- multi monitor support
- Add remaining relevant verbs from keynav (eg. macros and history)
- Clean up code (!!!)
- Document
- Spread word
- Package
