For sway 1.7, this disables all but one output on connect, then restores everything on disconnect. For sway 1.8 and later, creates a virtual HEADLESS output, disables all others, then restores everything on disconnect. Signed-off-by: Jim Ramsay <i.am@jimramsay.com> |

Example Scripts
The scripts here are examples of how you can automate interesting things with the wayvncctl IPC events.
event-watcher
This is a pretty simple example that just demonstrates how to tie the
wayvncctl event-receive event loop into a bash script. It logs when clients
connect and disconnect.
single-output-sway
This is more purposeful, and implements an idea for multi-output wayland servers, collapsing all outputs down to one when the first client connects, and restoring the configuration when the last client exits.
The mechanism used to collapse the outputs depends on the version of sway installed:
-
For sway-1.7 and earlier, the script just temporarily disables all outputs except the one being captured. This moves all workspaces to the single remaining output.
-
For sway-1.8 and later, the script creates a temporary virtual output called `HEADLESS-[0-9]+' and then disables all physical outputs, which moves all workspaces to the virtual output. On disconnect, all original physical outputs are re-enabled, and the virtual output is destroyed.
