Sway Menu

A script to use sway with a dmenu-like application to choose between windows/workspaces. The purpose is to avoid having workspace-specific bindings like $mod+1 workspace 1 and never worry about how many workspaces exist or what their names are.

Actions

Call as swaymenu action where action may be:

new      create a new workspace and focus it
moveout  go with the focused window to a new workspace
focus    focus a hidden window
change   focus a hidden workspace
bring    move a workspace to the focused output
swap     swap the focused window with another window
permute  permute all visible workspaces
give     send the focused window to a hidden workspace
take     take a window from another workspace
hide     hide all floating windows into the scratchpad
unhide   bring forward a scratchpad window
rename   set name of the focused workspace

If the window/workspace/scratchpad window in question is ambiguous, $MENU is called to choose between the candidates. Bind the desired actions in the sway config and you are good to go.

Demo

Config

It uses $MENU (default: dmenu) as the menu program. The output names (like eDP-1) can be remapped to an expression of your choice by modifying OUTMAP or with an env. variable:

SWAYMENU_OUTPUTS="eDP-1:Laptop;DP-4:Monitor"
