From fd512ffcd1206260e8cf17e8bed0273c64658d30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sommerfeld Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 13:43:42 +0100 Subject: feat(sway): enable swayr auto-tile via systemd user unit Vanilla sway only has splith/splitv with no auto-orientation, so new windows always split along whatever axis the parent container is set to (default splith). The result: opening a third window in a workspace that's already split horizontally just keeps stacking horizontally, even when each pane is now narrower than it is tall. swayr's daemon (swayrd) subscribes to sway IPC and, with [layout].auto_tile = true, issues splith or splitv on the focused container based on its width-vs-height before sway places the next window. The result is the i3/awesome-style spiral tiling: each new window splits the focused pane along its longest side. Run swayrd as a systemd user service bound to sway-session.target so it starts/stops with the session (matching the pattern used by waybar, swayidle, mako, etc.). No keybind changes; only the placement algorithm. --- systemd-units/user.txt | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'systemd-units') diff --git a/systemd-units/user.txt b/systemd-units/user.txt index bc16c0e..8badf82 100644 --- a/systemd-units/user.txt +++ b/systemd-units/user.txt @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ inhibridge.service pass-secret-service.service signal.service swayidle.service +swayrd.service waybar.service wob.service -- cgit v1.3.1
