Fusuma::Plugin::Wmctrl

Window Manager plugin for Fusuma

• Move window or workspace instead of xdotool
• Works on Wayland(Not depends on xdotool)

Installation

Run the following code in your terminal.

1.Install wmctrl

For Debian Based Distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Pop!_OS)

$ sudo apt install wmctrl -y

For Arch Based Distros (Manjaro, Arch)

sudo pacman -S wmctrl

2. Install fusuma-plugin-wmctrl

This plugin requires Fusuma version 1.0 or later.

Note For Arch Based Distros: By default in Arch Linux, when running gem, gems are installed per-user (into ~/.gem/ruby/), instead of system-wide (into /usr/lib/ruby/gems/). This is considered the best way to manage gems on Arch, because otherwise they might interfere with gems installed by Pacman. (From Arch Wiki)

To install gems system-wide, see any of the methods listed on Arch Wiki

$ sudo gem install fusuma-plugin-wmctrl

Configuration

Wrap navigation

The plugin allows to enable (disabled by default) circular navigation between workspaces. To enable it set the following in your config file ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml.

plugin: 
  executors:
    wmctrl_executor:
      wrap-navigation: true

Support grid-style workspace

For grid-style workspace users, Fusuma has an option to move workspace up, down, left or right. To enable this option, set matrix-col-size.

For example, for a 3x2 workspace, set matrix-col-size: 3 to wmctrl_executor option.

plugin:
  executors:
    wmctrl_executor:
      matrix-col-size: 3

With this setting, the up/down/left/right properties will be enabled on workspace: and window:.

Example

swipe:
  4:
    up:
      workspace: down
      keypress:
        LEFTSHIFT:
          window: down
    down:
      workspace: up
      keypress:
