# SwayOSD
A OSD window for common actions like volume and capslock.
This is my first time coding in Rust so fixes and improvements are appreciated :)
## Features:
- LibInput listener Backend for these keys:
- Caps Lock
- Num Lock
- Scroll Lock
- Input and output volume change indicator
- Input and output mute change indicator
- Customizable maximum Volume
- Capslock change (Note: doesn't change the caps lock state)
- Brightness change indicator

## Install:
There's a new LibInput watcher binary shipped with SwayOSD (`swayosd-libinput-backend`)
which can automatically detect key presses, so no need for binding key combos.
The supported keys are listed above in [Features](#features)
### Through Meson
```zsh
# Please note that the command below might require `--prefix /usr` on some systems
meson setup build
ninja -C build
meson install -C build
```
### AUR
Available on the AUR thanks to @jgmdev! (Don't open a issue here about AUR package)
- [swayosd-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/swayosd-git)
## Usage:
### SwayOSD LibInput Backend
Using Systemd: `sudo systemctl enable --now swayosd-libinput-backend.service`
Other users can run: `pkexec swayosd-libinput-backend`
### SwayOSD Frontend
#### Sway examples
##### Start Server
```zsh
# OSD server
exec swayosd-server
```
##### Add Client bindings
```zsh
# Sink volume raise optionally with --device
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume raise
# Sink volume lower optionally with --device
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume lower --device alsa_output.pci-0000_11_00.4.analog-stereo.monitor
# Sink volume toggle mute
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec swayosd-client --output-volume mute-toggle
# Source volume toggle mute
bindsym XF86AudioMicMute exec swayosd-client --input-volume mute-toggle
# Volume raise with custom value
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume 15
# Volume lower with custom value
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume -15
# Volume raise with max value
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume raise --max-volume 120
# Volume lower with max value
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume lower --max-volume 120
# Sink volume raise with custom value optionally with --device
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume +10 --device alsa_output.pci-0000_11_00.4.analog-stereo.monitor
# Sink volume lower with custom value optionally with --device
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec swayosd-client --output-volume -10 --device alsa_output.pci-0000_11_00.4.analog-stereo.monitor
# Capslock (If you don't want to use the backend)
bindsym --release Caps_Lock exec swayosd-client --caps-lock
# Capslock but specific LED name (/sys/class/leds/)
bindsym --release Caps_Lock exec swayosd-client --caps-lock-led input19::capslock
# Brightness raise
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec swayosd-client --brightness raise
# Brightness lower
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec swayosd-client --brightness lower
# Brightness raise with custom value('+' sign needed)
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec swayosd-client --brightness +10
# Brightness lower with custom value('-' sign needed)
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec swayosd-client --brightness -10
```
### Notes on using `--device`:
- It is for audio devices only.
- If it is omitted the default audio device is used.
- It only changes the target device for the current action that changes the volume.
- You can list your input audio devices using `pactl list short sources`, for outputs replace `sources` with `sinks`.
## Brightness Control
Some devices may not have permission to write `/sys/class/backlight/*/brightness`.
So using the provided packaged `udev` rules + adding the user to `video` group
by running `sudo usermod -a -G video $USER`, everything should work as expected.
