Aiming to become a light-weight openbox alternative for Wayland
|
||||
A light-weight openbox alternative for Wayland.
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
This software is in early development.
|
||||
|
||||
# Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- wlroots (>=0.10.0)
|
||||
- wayland-protocols
|
||||
|
||||
## Background
|
||||
# Aim
|
||||
|
||||
I am looking for a Wayland compositor that feels like openbox, but haven't come across one yet. Playing around with some code-bases seems an obvious way to evaluate and explore options. I saw [sway](https://swaywm.org/), [cage](https://www.hjdskes.nl/blog/cage-01/) and [wio](https://wio-project.org/), and definitely like the feel of wlroots.
|
||||
[x] Support xwayland
|
||||
[ ] Support some of openbox's rc.xml
|
||||
[ ] Support openbox themes
|
||||
[ ] Support layer-shell's background layer
|
||||
|
||||
Before trying wlroots, I messed around with [QtWayland](https://github.com/qt/qtwayland), [grefsen](https://github.com/ec1oud/grefsen), [Mir](https://mir-server.io) / [egmde](https://github.com/AlanGriffiths/egmde). Lubuntu have [declared](https://lubuntu.me/lubuntu-development-newsletter-9/) that they will be switching to Wayland by default for 20.10 and that they are going to do this by porting Openbox to use the Mir display server and [Drew DeVault’s](https://drewdevault.com/) QtLayerShell, etc.

# Alternatives
|
||||
|
||||
The following were considered before choosing wlroots:
|
||||
|
||||
- [QtWayland](https://github.com/qt/qtwayland), [grefsen](https://github.com/ec1oud/grefsen)
|
||||
- [Mir](https://mir-server.io), [egmde](https://github.com/AlanGriffiths/egmde)

# CONFIGURATION
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
We will support rc.xml keybinds, but for the time being:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Alt+Escape Exit labwc
|
||||
Alt+F2 Cycle between windows
|
||||
Alt+F2 Cycle windows
|
||||
Alt+F3 Launch dmenu
|
||||
Alt+F12 Print all views (helpful if run from X11)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard layout
|
||||
|
||||
Set environment variable `XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT` for your keyboard layout, for
|
||||
example `gb`. Read `xkeyboard-config(7)` for details.
|
||||
|
||||
