LeftHK - A hotkey daemon written in Rust
THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE
The configuration file should be created in ~/.config/lefthk/ and called config.ron. If the configuration file is not created the program will exit.
Example config:
ron
Config(
keybinds: [
Keybind(
command: Execute("st -e htop"),
modifier: ["Mod4", "Shift"],
key: Key("x"),
),
Keybind(
command: Executes(["st -e htop", "st -e bpytop"]),
modifier: ["Mod4", "Shift"],
key: Keys(["x", "m"]),
),
Keybind(
command: Chord([
Keybind(
command: Execute("st -e htop"),
modifier: ["Mod4"],
key: Key("c"),
),
]),
modifier: ["Mod4"],
key: Key("c"),
),
]
)
Reload, Kill, Chord, and ExitChord are the only internal commands. To run a normal command you need
to call Execute or Executes, with the added value or values of the command. A chord can accept any amount and type of extra
keybinds, which when started blocks previous keybinds and will exit once a sub-keybind is
executed. A Chord will take the ExitChord set within it first, then if not set it will take the
ExitChord from its parent (e.g. a Chord within a Chord will take the ExitChord from the previous Chord).
There is a pipe which receives commands through $XDGRUNTIMEDIR/lefthk/commands.pipe, currently
only accepts Reload and Kill.
