Sway Installation

1. I typically install Fedora KDE and install Sway on top of it

   sudo dnf install rofi waybar dunst
   # If you install regular Sway instead of Swayfx,
   # make sure to comment out `include ~/.config/sway/swayfx.conf` in the sway config
   sudo dnf copr enable swayfx/swayfx
   sudo dnf install --allowerasing swayfx
   
   # Necessary packages for system control
   sudo dnf install brightnessctl copyq grimshot pavucontrol playerctl wf-recorder
   # If you don't have Polkit installed, install one
   sudo dnf install lxpolkit
   
   # Great tools to have for any tiling WM environment
   sudo dnf install blueman network-manager-applet
   
   # For generating lockscreen image
   sudo dnf install ImageMagick
   
   # Or your preferred terminal emulator; change $mod+ret in Sway config
   sudo dnf install kitty

   • If you installed Fedora Sway spin or did dnf groupinstall, reference this for the complete list of pre-installed packages
2. Install ProggyClean Nerd Font:

   mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts && cd ~/.local/share/fonts
   # TODO: Check that this link is up-to-date before you proceed
   wget -O tmp.zip https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.4.0/ProggyClean.zip
   unzip tmp.zip && rm tmp.zip
   fc-cache -vf
   cd -

3. Clone the repository and run the installation script (creates symlink for configuration files and scripts):

   git clone https://github.com/theopn/haunted-tiles.git ~/.config/haunted-tiles
   ~/.config/haunted-tiles/install.sh

4. Locate your choice of wallpaper (PNG) as $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wallpaper.png
5. Generate a new lock screen image using the included lock icon:

   # use `lock-24269-640.png` a higher resolution image
   magick $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wallpaper.png $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/haunted-tiles/assets/lock-24269-360.png -gravity center -composite $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lockscreen.png

6. Add yourself to the input user group for Waybar keyboard state module:

   sudo usermod -a -G input $(whoami)

Usage

List of keybindings different from the default i3/Sway:

• jkl; -> hjkl
• $mod + h -> $mod + z: toggles hori[z]ontal split
• $mod + d: app launcher -> launches Rofi window switcher
• $mod + Space: toggles between floating/tiled windows -> launches Rofi drun
• $mod + b: toggles between floating/tiled windows
• $mod + [/]: moves the current workspace to the monitor to the left/right
• $mod + Shift + c/e: toggles the sway_mode, from which you can choose to reload the config, restart, or exit Sway
• $mod + Shift + m: toggles monitor_mode, which you can control outputs
• $mod + Shift + v: launches copoyq show
• Print: launches a Rofi menu with screenshot options using Grimshot (area, screen, window, color picker, etc.)
• Shift+Print: launches a Rofi script with screen recording menu using wf-recorder
• $mod + Shift + p: launches a Rofi script with power options (lock, suspend, shutdown, etc.)

Notes:

1. Window logo [3] indicator in Waybar means that there are 3 windows in the scratchpad.
2. You can add a window to a scratchpad with $mod + Shift + - and cycle through the scratchpad with $mod + -.
3. The keybindings for i3 is nearly identical, but please read the config
