Implementation of Projects:PinePhone Daily Driver using swayWM.

Components

Setup

Configs are stored in a repository.

TODO: Create a postmarketOS package? [1]

elogind

Power key needs to be locked from elogind, otherwise it would shutdown the system. This way as long as the UI session is running, power button is ignored by elogind. Once the session ends and we're back in the login screen, the power button is again able to shutdown the system.

/usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop... Exec=elogind-inhibit --what=handle-power-key --mode=block dbus-run-session /usr/bin/sway ... (included in the POC repository)

lisgd

TODO: Convert the following to command line parameters + make it a script:

~/build/lisgd/lisgd.h/* Commands to execute upon recieving a swipe gesture */ Gesture gestures[] = { 

       /* fingers      start   end     command */
       { 1,    Left,   Right,    "swaymsg workspace prev" },
       { 1,    Right,  Left,     "swaymsg workspace next" },

       { 2,    Left,   Right,    "xdotool key --clearmodifiers Alt+e" },
       { 2,    Right,  Left,     "xdotool key --clearmodifiers Alt+r" },

       { 2,    Down,   Up,       "swayphone_keyboard_show" },
       { 2,    Up,     Down,     "swayphone_keyboard_hide" },
