spatial-sway
spatial-sway implements a spatial model inspired by Material Shell
and Paper WM, for Sway. More precisely, it organizes the windows in
your workspaces as if they are on a loop, showing only a fixed number
at a time.
It is implemented as a daemon, communicating with Sway using your
favorite tiling manager’s IPC protocol (if you are curious, have a
look at man sway-ipc!).
It is missing some features, but spatial-sway can already by used
today. Here is an example of a configuration that works.
set $spatial "/usr/local/bin/spatial"
set $spatialmsg "/usr/local/bin/spatialmsg"
# Start the daemon when sway is started.
exec $spatialmsg
# Focus the previous window in the ribbon, that is on the left, if the
# focus is on the last window on the left of the visible area, windows
# will shift right to make room for the next candidate on the loop,
# and the window on the far right will disappear.
bindsym $mod+t exec $spatialmsg "focus prev"
# Same thing, for the right.
bindsym $mod+n exec $spatialmsg "focus next"
# Move the focused window on the left.
bindsym $mod+Shift+t exec $spatialmsg "move left"
# Move the focused window on the right.
bindsym $mod+Shift+n exec $spatialmsg "move right"
# Move the focused window on the upper workspace.
bindsym $mod+Shift+r exec $spatialmsg "move up"
# Move the focused window on the lower workspace.
bindsym $mod+Shift+s exec $spatialmsg "move down"
# Jump to the previous workspace (that is, N-1 for workspace N, but
# iff N > 0).
bindsym $mod+r exec $spatialmsg "workspace prev"
# Jump to the next workspace (that is, N+1 for workspace N).
bindsym $mod+s exec $spatialmsg "workspace next"
# Toggle between a mode where only one window is visible (maximized
# mode), or a fixed numbers (split mode). spatial-sway will remember
# how may windows you want visible when not in full view mode.
bindsym $mod+space exec $spatialmsg "maximize toggle"
# Decrease the number of windows to display when in split mode.
bindsym $mod+g exec $spatialmsg "split decrement"
# Increase the number of windows to display when in split mode.
bindsym $mod+h exec $spatialmsg "split increment"
