						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ShowMenu" menu="value" />*

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleDecorations" />*
 | 
						|
	Toggle decorations of focused window.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	This is a 3-state action which can be executed multiple times:
 | 
						|
	- Only the titlebar will be hidden, borders and resize area are kept
 | 
						|
	- Remaining decorations will be disabled
 | 
						|
	- Decorations will be shown normally
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	By disabling the theme configuration 'keepBorder' the first step
 | 
						|
	will be removed and the action only toggles between on and off.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleFullscreen" />*
 | 
						|
	Toggle fullscreen state of focused window.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleMaximize" direction="value" />*
 | 
						|
	Toggle maximize state of focused window. Supported directions are
 | 
						|
	"both" (default), "horizontal", and "vertical".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="Maximize" direction="value" />*
 | 
						|
	Maximize focused window. Supported directions are "both" (default),
 | 
						|
	"horizontal", and "vertical".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleAlwaysOnTop" />*
 | 
						|
	Toggle always-on-top of focused window.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleAlwaysOnBottom" />*
 | 
						|
	Toggle between layers 'always-on-bottom' and 'normal'. When a window is
 | 
						|
	in the 'always-on-bottom' layer, it is rendered below all other
 | 
						|
	top-level windows. It is anticipated that this action will be useful
 | 
						|
	when defining window-rules for desktop-management tools that do not
 | 
						|
	support the wlr-layer-shell protocol.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleOmnipresent" />*
 | 
						|
	Toggle omnipresent (visible on all workspaces / sticky) for the focused
 | 
						|
	window.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleKeybinds" />*
 | 
						|
	Stop handling keybinds other than ToggleKeybinds itself.
 | 
						|
	This can be used to allow A-Tab and similar keybinds to be delivered
 | 
						|
	to Virtual Machines, VNC clients or nested compositors.
 | 
						|
	A second call will restore all original keybinds.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	This action will only affect the window that had keyboard focus when
 | 
						|
	the binding was executed. Thus when switching to another window, all
 | 
						|
	the usual keybinds will function again until switching back to the
 | 
						|
	original window. There can be multiple windows with this mode set.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleTearing" />*
 | 
						|
	Toggles tearing for the focused window.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="FocusOutput" output="HDMI-A-1" />*
 | 
						|
	Give focus to topmost window on given output and warp the cursor
 | 
						|
	to the center of the window. If the given output does not contain
 | 
						|
	any windows, the cursor is centered on the given output.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="GoToDesktop" to="value" wrap="yes" />*
 | 
						|
	Switch to workspace.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*to* The workspace to switch to. Supported values are "current", "last",
 | 
						|
	"left", "right" or the full name of a workspace or its index (starting
 | 
						|
	at 1) as configured in rc.xml.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*wrap* [yes|no] Wrap around from last desktop to first, and vice
 | 
						|
	versa. Default yes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="SendToDesktop" to="value" follow="yes" wrap="yes" />*
 | 
						|
	Send active window to workspace.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*to* The workspace to send the window to. Supported values are the same
 | 
						|
	as for GoToDesktop.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*follow* [yes|no] Also switch to the specified workspace. Default yes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*wrap* [yes|no] Wrap around from last desktop to first, and vice
 | 
						|
	versa. Default yes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="VirtualOutputAdd" output_name="value" />*
 | 
						|
	Add virtual output (headless backend).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	For example, it can be used to overlay virtual output on real output,
 | 
						|
	but with a different resolution (this can be done with `wlr-randr`
 | 
						|
	or `wdisplays`). After that, virtual output can be selected for screen
 | 
						|
	sharing (casting), effectively sharing only the region of the screen.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	It must be noted that overlaying virtual output and real output is not
 | 
						|
	endorsed or explicitly supported by wlroots. For example, after
 | 
						|
	configuring virtual output, real output must be reconfigured as well
 | 
						|
	(for the overlay configuration to work correctly). This is the example
 | 
						|
	configuration:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
<keybind key="W-v">
 | 
						|
  <action name="VirtualOutputAdd" output_name="ScreenCasting"/>
 | 
						|
  <action name="Execute" command='sh -c "wlr-randr --output ScreenCasting --pos 0,0 --scale 2 --custom-mode 3840x2110; wlr-randr --output eDP-1 --pos 0,0 --scale 2 --mode 3840x2160"'/>
 | 
						|
</keybind>
 | 
						|
<keybind key="W-c">
 | 
						|
  <action name="VirtualOutputRemove"/>
 | 
						|
</keybind>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	Note that the vertical resolution of "ScreenCasting" output is just 50px
 | 
						|
	smaller than "eDP-1" output to cut off bottom panel from screen sharing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	Virtual output is also useful for extending the desktop to (maybe
 | 
						|
	mobile)	remote systems like tablets. E.g. simply adding a virtual
 | 
						|
	output, attaching wayvnc to it and running a VNC client on the remote
 | 
						|
	system.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*output_name* The name of virtual output. Providing virtual output name
 | 
						|
	is beneficial for further automation. Default is "HEADLESS-X".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="VirtualOutputRemove" output_name="value" />*
 | 
						|
	Remove virtual output (headless backend).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*output_name* The name of virtual output. If not supplied, will remove
 | 
						|
	the last virtual output added.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="AutoPlace" />*
 | 
						|
	Use the automatic placement policy to move the active window to a
 | 
						|
	position on its output that will minimize overlap with other windows.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="Shade" />*++
 | 
						|
*<action name="Unshade" />*++
 | 
						|
*<action name="ToggleShade" />*
 | 
						|
	Set, unset, or toggle, respectively, the "shaded" state of the active
 | 
						|
	window. When shaded, window contents are hidden, leaving only the
 | 
						|
	titlebar visible. Full-screen windows or those without server-side
 | 
						|
	decorations (including those for which the server-side titlebar has been
 | 
						|
	hidden) are not eligible for shading.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="None" />*
 | 
						|
	If used as the only action for a binding: clear an earlier defined
 | 
						|
	binding.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# CONDITIONAL ACTIONS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Actions that execute other actions. Used in keyboard/mouse bindings.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="If">*
 | 
						|
	This action will execute one set of actions if the focused window
 | 
						|
	matches the criteria, or another if it does not.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	The arguments are as follows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	```
 | 
						|
	<action name="If">
 | 
						|
	  <query/>
 | 
						|
	  <then><action/></then>
 | 
						|
	  <else><action/></else>
 | 
						|
	</action>
 | 
						|
	```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*query*
 | 
						|
		Define a query with zero or more conditions. All conditions must
 | 
						|
		be evaluated as true in order for the window to match this
 | 
						|
		query. Multiple queries can be defined.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		Pattern matching is done according to glob(7) and is
 | 
						|
		case-insensitive.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		Conditions are as follows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		*identifier*
 | 
						|
			XDG shell app_id for Wayland clients, WM_CLASS for
 | 
						|
			XWayland clients.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		*title*
 | 
						|
			XDG shell title for Wayland clients, WM_NAME for
 | 
						|
			XWayland clients.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		This argument is optional.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*then*
 | 
						|
		A list of actions to be executed if the window matches any
 | 
						|
		query. This argument is optional.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	*else*
 | 
						|
		A list of actions to be executed if the window does not match
 | 
						|
		any query. This argument is optional.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*<action name="ForEach">*
 | 
						|
	Identical to "If" action, but applies to all windows, not just the
 | 
						|
	focused one.
 | 
						|
