Toggles - Toggle Binds for Sway

Toggles is a simple program to create toggle binds for arbitrary applications by app_id / class (for XWayland applications).

Usage

The program takes an app_id (or windows class) as a matching criterion and a command.

Toggles uses the app_id to check via sway-IPC if a window with that ID is in view.

If not the window is either moved to the current workspace or launched via the launch command.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/feschber/toggles
cd toggles
cargo build --release
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/
sudo mv target/release/toggles /usr/local/bin/

Arguments:

  <COMMAND>  command to spawn the application

Options:
  -m, --mark <MARK>  optional matching criteria mark
  -f, --floating     whether or not the window should be floating
