01:24 <NickH> Just build river leon-p new direction commit.

01:28 <NickH> Seems to be working with rivertile, but I have some problems with stacktile.

01:29 <NickH> Haven't had time to properly test yet though.

05:24 <NickH> Ahh, I think I understand. I have additinal clashing keybindings with stacktile.

05:29 <NickH> Nope that's not it. Even just running "riverctl focus-view right" (same for left) in a terminal seems to do nothing

05:29 <NickH> But with up or down it works as expected.

07:01 <leon-p> NickH: see my newest PR. I forgot one small little thing to make it work

07:07 <TheAnachron> is there a by-default shipped away to listen to river events? like pipe them to a script so when a tag switches I can react to it?

07:09 <TheAnachron> I am thinking about creating a "zen" workspace that runs a few things (no notifications, mute playback, etc"

07:36 <RZ_MJ[m]> Why not just replace the key mapping that switches tags with a script that does the switching and whatever else you want to do?

07:51 <TheAnachron> interesting idea, but that way I have to track the current mode myself. I was thinking of utilizing modes of river maybe, but I have no idea how to query that one to update my status bar

07:52 <leon-p> TheAnachron: you could write a wayland client that listens to tag events

07:52 <leon-p> or use this: https://github.com/snakedye/ristate

07:53 <leon-p> oh, the link is dead

07:53 <TheAnachron> it moved to gitlab: https://gitlab.com/snakedye/ristate

07:55 <TheAnachron> hmm, it doesn't seem to support modes, but that should be okay for now, there are workarounds

08:15 <TheAnachron> not packaged for my distro, but shouldn't be a big deal since it's using cargo

08:16 <TheAnachron> I am still thinking about wrapping my keybindings into a shell script to inject. Maybe the cheapest way to archieve my goal

10:36 <leon-p> whoops, turns out fuzzel supports icons in dmenu mode, so my weird hack of putting bookmarks in .desktop files could be replaced by some launcher script...

11:05 <NickH> leon-p: thanks for the fix!

11:11 <NickH> And thanks for the new feature :-)

11:11 <stel> i haven't submitted it yet...

11:11 <stel> oh wrong person

11:12 <NickH> Wrong channel?

11:16 <stel> right channel, wrong person

11:16 <stel> i want to fix the input method PR

11:18 <NickH> Ok, don't recall seeing you in here before, and my irc client indicates that you only joined about 15 minutes ago.

11:21 <dnkl> stel: good luck! I for one is looking forward to it, even if it's "just" to be able to test foot's IME implementation...

11:21 <NickH> Hmm, https://github.com/riverwm/river/pull/405 ?

11:25 <stel> dnkl: there's nothing significantly different from sway in the river PR, and foot's IME was working fine for me in sway at least

11:28 <dnkl> stel: sure, it's been working for a very long time, as far as I know. But it's nice not having to switch compositor to test it if/when I make any changes :)

11:33 <leon-p> T9 input method anyone? please? :)

11:34 <NickH> Wow, would this mean I'd be able to use fcitx5 on foot in river?

11:55 <dnkl> NickH: not sure what the state of fcitx5 is. Last time I checked, it worked, but without popups (i.e no visible candidate list)

12:01 <ifreund> stel: thanks for working on the input method stuff, It would definitely be good to have but has never made it to the top of my priority list to work on myself

12:01 <ifreund> iirc most of the plumbing from novakane's PR looked good but there were some missing pieces regarding the interaction with keyboard handling

12:51 <leon-p> created a little fuzzel wrapper which, in addition to .desktop files, also includes recently used files and hardcoded bookmarks: https://paste.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/e26b2b59a58b37e5d91175193a694fbf8fa9ad0e

12:53 <leon-p> unfortunely actions are missing, becuase pyxdg can't parse those apparently

13:08 <leon-p> annoyingly though this means fuzzel won't match agains comment and simple description of desktop files...

13:09 <leon-p> dnkl: do you have any plans for a fuzzel feature that allows programmatically "side-loading" actions into the launcher mode?

13:29 <dnkl> leon-p: sorry, no such plans.

13:30 <dnkl> but fuzzel can match comments and description...

13:30 <dnkl> (see -F,--fields)

13:38 <leon-p> yes, but that only works when fuzzel search desktop entries on its own. I want to combine that with custom entries, so that won't work for me

13:43 <leon-p> so it's back to .desktop files I gues

14:18 <leon-p> dnkl: how about hidden fields in dmenu mode? something to search against but not show? That way I could replicate the desktop entry mode one-to-one

14:30 <dnkl> leon-p: it might be possible to extend the "icon" protocol we already support in dmenu mode.

14:32 <leon-p> I'll try it

16:40 <linky87> Hi all -- googling and looking at irc archives hasn't turned up much. Is anyone aware of layout generators that let river do recursive window splitting like bspwm?

16:57 <RZ_MJ[m]> The exact behavior of bspwm can't be replicated because views are organized in a list, not in a tree. That being said, it is possible to have a layout generator that divides the area in halves/quarters/... as required by the total amount of visible windows. Spawned windows would still always appear in the same place, independent of what was previously focused, though. Implementing this for example in river-luatile should be quite easy.

17:02 <linky87> Appreciate it -- thank you
