# Note that in the context of idle system power management, it is *NOT* a good
# idea to turn off displays by 'disabling outputs' for example by
# `wlr-randr --output <whatever> --off` because this re-arranges views
# (since a837fef). Instead use a wlr-output-power-management client such as
# https://git.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/wlopm

# The swayidle example below only turns on/off one output. If you have
# multiple outputs, you could write a script like this:
#
# #!/bin/sh
# wlopm | while IFS=' ' read -r output state; do
# wlopm --toggle "${output}"
# done
