### Description
|
|
This patch adds river-control-unstable-v1 support to dwl.
|
|
This protocol allows sending args to dwl to execute functions via the included dwlctl.
|
|
This is used to allow changing rules and binds, at runtime via dwlctl.
|
|
|
|
Most of this patch is stored in river-control.h, It contains a list of functions which can be called via dwlctl so adding support for new functions is as simple as adding them to the list.
|
|
|
|
This patch's main intended use case is to have a startup script that calls dwlctl a bunch to add all the binds/rules you want, without the need of restarting dwl if you make any changes to the list of binds/rules.
|
|
|
|
This patch also adds keybind modes which allow switching between a diffrent sets of keybinds on the fly.
|
|
Also you can set a keybind mode as oneshot (meaning as soon as a keybind is activated the mode is switched) by using...
|
|
`dwlctl oneshot-mode _layout_you_want_to_make_oneshot_here_ _layout_you_want_to_switch_to_after_keybind_pressed_`
|
|
Just make sure to set a mode as oneshot after creating a bind under it otherwise it won't work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
