Some simple Wayfire custom keybind

ScreenShot

You can use grim and slurp to have screenshot function

  • grim
    screenshot
  • slurp
    select a region

Install grim and slurp

yay -S grim slurp

For example shell script

# ~/.config/wayfire/scripts/screenshot.sh

path="/home/novel2430/Pictures/screenshot/"   # <--- Where you want to save your screenshots
now_date=$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S')
file_name="${path}${now_date}.png"
msg="save as ${file_name}"

case $1 in
  full)
    grim ${file_name} && dunstify -a "Screenshot" "Full" "${msg}" -r 2003
    ;;
  select)
    grim -g "$(slurp)" ${file_name} && dunstify -a "Screenshot" "Select" "${msg}" -r 2003
    ;;
esac

Clipboard Manager

We need two packages: cliphist and wl-clipboard

  • cliphist
    For clipboard managing
  • wl-clipboard
    For copy and paste

Install both

yay -S cliphist wl-clipboard

# ~/.config/wayfire/scripts/clipboard.sh
cliphist list | wofi show --dmenu | cliphist decode | wl-copy

Volume Control

We used Pipewire and Wireplumber to control our audio, so we can use wpctl to control the volume

  • Increase volume
wpctl set-volume -l 1.5 @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+
  • Decrease volume
wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%-
  • Mute
wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle

Commands above can use with ‘dunst’, so we can write a simple script

# ~/.config/wayfire/scripts/volume.sh

# <this_file> up ----> Increase Volume
# <this_file> down ----> Decrease Volume
# <this_file> mute ----> Toggle Mute

sending ()
{
  volume=$(wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ | awk '{print $2}')
  volume_scale=$(awk '{print $1*$2}' <<<"${volume} 100")
  dunstify -a "ChangeVolume" -r 9993 -h int:value:"$volume_scale" -i "Vol $1" "Level : ${volume_scale}%" -t 2000
}
case $1 in
  up)
    wpctl set-volume -l 1.5 @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+ && sending $1
    ;;
  down)
    wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%- && sending $1
    ;;
  mute)
    wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle
    if [[ "$(wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ | awk '{print $3}')" = "[MUTED]" ]]; then
      dunstify -a "ChangeVolume" -i "Muted" "MUTE" -t 2000 -r 9993
    else
      sending up
    fi
    ;;
esac

Brightness Control

I prefer ‘brillo’
Install brillo

yay -S brillo

# ~/.config/wayfire/bright.sh
function send() {
  bright=$(printf "%.0f\n" $(brillo -G))
  dunstify -a "ChangeBrightness" -r 9993 -h int:value:"$bright" -i "Brightness $1" "Level : ${bright}%" -t 2000
}
case $1 in
  up)
	sudo brillo -u 150000 -q -A 3
	send $1
	;;
  down)
	sudo brillo -u 150000 -q -U 3
	send $1
	;;
esac

Screen Lock

I prefer ‘swaylock-effetcs’

yay -S swaylock-effetcs

# ~/.config/wayfire/scripts/swaylock.sh

swaylock \

	--clock \
	--indicator \
