A very, VERY WIP Smithay-based wayland compositor
## Features - [x] Winit backend - [x] Udev backend - This is currently just a copy of Anvil's udev backend. - [x] Basic tags - [ ] Layout system - [x] Left master stack, corner, dwindle, spiral layouts - [ ] Other three master stack directions, floating, magnifier, maximized, and fullscreen layouts - [ ] Resizable layouts - [ ] XWayland support - [ ] Layer-shell support - [ ] Server-side decorations - [ ] Animations and blur and all that pizazz - [ ] Widget system - [ ] The other stuff Awesome has - [x] Is very cool :thumbsup: ## Info ### Why Pinnacle? Well, I currently use [Awesome](https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome). And I really like it! Unfortunately, Awesome doesn't exist for Wayland ([anymore](http://way-cooler.org/blog/2020/01/09/way-cooler-post-mortem.html)). There doesn't seem to be any Wayland compositor out there that has all of the following: - Tags for window management - Configurable in Lua (or any other programming language for that matter) - Has a bunch of batteries included (widget system, systray, etc) So, this is my attempt at making an Awesome-esque Wayland compositor. ## Dependencies You'll need the following packages, as specified by [Smithay](https://github.com/Smithay/smithay): `libwayland libxkbcommon libudev libinput libgdm libseat` - Arch: ``` sudo pacman -S wayland libxkbcommon systemd-libs libinput libgdm seatd ``` - Debian: ``` sudo apt install libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev libudev-dev libinput-dev libgdm-dev libseat-dev ``` - TODO: other distros. You'll also need Lua 5.4 for configuration. ## Building Build the project with: ``` cargo build [--release] ``` ## Running After building, run the executable located in either: ``` ./target/debug/pinnacle -- // without --release ./target/release/pinnacle -- // with --release ``` Or, run the project directly with ``` cargo run [--release] -- -- ``` When running in debug mode, the compositor will drastically slow down if there are too many windows on screen. If you don't want this to happen, use release mode. `backend` can be one of two values: - `winit`: run Pinnacle as a window in your graphical environment - `udev`: run Pinnacle in a tty. NOTE: I tried running udev in Awesome and some things broke so uh, don't do that ## Configuration Please note: this is VERY WIP and has few options. Pinnacle supports configuration through Lua (and hopefully more languages if it's not too unwieldy :crab:). Run Pinnacle with the `PINNACLE_CONFIG` environment variable set to the path of your config file. If not specified, Pinnacle will look for the following: ``` $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pinnacle/init.lua ~/.config/pinnacle/init.lua // if XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set ``` The following will use the example config file in [`api/lua`](api/lua): ``` PINNACLE_CONFIG="./api/lua/example_config.lua" cargo run -- -- ``` ### Autocomplete and that cool stuff It is *highly* recommended to use the [Lua language server](https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server) and set it up to have the [`api/lua`](api/lua) directory as a library, as I'll be using its doc comments to provide autocomplete and error checking. #### For VS Code: Install the [Lua](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumneko.lua) plugin, then go into its settings and add the absolute(?) path to the [`api/lua`](api/lua) directory to Workspace: Library. #### For Neovim: Pass this table into your Lua language server settings: ```lua Lua = { workspace = { library = { "/path/to/pinnacle/api/lua" } } } ``` Doc website soon:tm: ## Controls The following controls are currently hardcoded: - `Ctrl + Left Mouse`: Move a window - `Ctrl + Right Mouse`: Resize a window - `Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Esc`: Kill Pinnacle. This is for when the compositor inevitably locks up because I did a dumb thing :thumbsup: You can find the rest of the controls in the [`example_config`](api/lua/example_config.lua).
