From 0426222d312a2e1fa9632bb8b14ced8eee75fcae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sommerfeld Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 13:43:16 +0100 Subject: refactor(sway): make thunderbird toggle tile instead of float Scratchpad is inherently floating; the user wants the main TB window to tile normally when shown and disappear completely when hidden. Park the main window on a hidden workspace _tb via for_window, then toggle it with a small swaymsg+jq script that moves it between _tb and the currently focused workspace. Child windows (compose, viewer, calendar, prefs) are unaffected and tile wherever they spawn. - Autostart thunderbird so the window exists on login, parked on _tb. - Hide _tb from waybar's workspace list. - Update KEYBINDS.md. --- dot_config/sway/config | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'dot_config/sway/config') diff --git a/dot_config/sway/config b/dot_config/sway/config index 5acb897..5a0a6a0 100644 --- a/dot_config/sway/config +++ b/dot_config/sway/config @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ output * bg #282828 solid_color for_window [class="feh"] floating enable for_window [app_id="imv"] floating enable for_window [class="Tor Browser"] floating enable -for_window [app_id="org.mozilla.Thunderbird" title=".*Mozilla Thunderbird$"] move to scratchpad +for_window [app_id="org.mozilla.Thunderbird" title=".*Mozilla Thunderbird$"] mark --add tb-main, move container to workspace _tb # ── Standard keybinds (sway defaults) ───────────────────────────────────────── bindsym $mod+Return exec $term @@ -156,8 +156,10 @@ mode "qr" { } bindsym $mod+z mode "qr" -# Thunderbird scratchpad toggle (auto-parked on launch, see window rules) -bindsym $mod+t [app_id="org.mozilla.Thunderbird" title=".*Mozilla Thunderbird$"] scratchpad show, resize set width 100 ppt height 100 ppt, move position center +# Thunderbird toggle: main window parked on hidden workspace _tb; this pulls it +# to the current workspace (tiled) or sends it back.
