tiosgz d5352862bb Update pointer focus more often
Until now, focusing a different view didn't move pointer focus to it,
even though it was under the cursor. The pointer had to move in order
to switch its focus. Similar situations should be handled after this
commit.

kiwmi

A fully programmable Wayland Compositor


Stars Build Status GitHub Issues GitHub Contributors

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.

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
