hot boundaries (corners and edges) for wayland. a small util that triggers commands when the pointer enters configured boundaries. it should work with wlroots-based compositors like sway and river, as well as non-wlroots ones like niri. tested on sway, river, and niri so far
waybound is meant to run in the background, so start it like this:
waybound &configure it either with cli flags or with a config file. the default config
path is ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/waybound/waybound.toml
flags example:
waybound -s 15 \
--rule top=alacritty \
--rule top-right=swaylock \
--rule right="notify-send hello $HOME"config example (equivalent to the flags example, except for debug = true):
debug = true
size = 15
[[boundaries]]
boundary = "top"
command = "alacritty"
[[boundaries]]
boundary = "top-right"
command = "swaylock"
[[boundaries]]
boundary = "right"
command = "notify-send hello $HOME"cli flags override config rules for the same boundary. default boundary size
is 5 px. supported boundaries include top-left, top-right, bottom-left,
bottom-right, top, bottom, left, and right
- archlinux aur:
paru -S waybound - manual build:
cargo build --release
release builds are tuned to stay smaller, and the implementation uses direct wayland client bindings rather than a larger ui toolkit like smithay
