kiwmi

A fully programmable Wayland Compositor

Stars

kiwmi is a work-in-progress extensive user-configurable Wayland Compositor. kiwmi specifically does not enforce any logic, allowing for the creation of Lua-scripted behaviors, making arduous tasks such as modal window management become a breeze. New users should be aware of the steep learning curve present, however this will be reduced as the project matures.

Got any questions or want to discuss something? Join us in #kiwmi on irc.libera.chat!

Documentation

Documentation for the API can be found in lua_docs.md.

Additionally kiwmic can be used to send a single lua string to kiwmi for direct evaluation.

For example:

$ kiwmic 'return kiwmi:focused_view():id()'
94036737803088.0

Getting Started

The dependencies required are:

wlroots
lua or luajit
pixman
meson (build)
ninja (build)
git (build, optional)

Building

After cloning/downloading the project and ensuring all dependencies are installed, building is as easy as running

$ meson build
$ ninja -C build

If you plan to use luajit instead, use the following commands instead.

$ meson -Dlua-pkg=luajit build
$ ninja -C build

Installing is accomplished with the following command:

# ninja -C build install
