Subject: bug#57939: 29.0.50; Fixing raise-frame on Sway
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2022 09:21:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87illj8hdk.fsf@melete.silentflame.com> (raw)
Under Sway, with pgtk, raise-frame doesn't work. We could make it work
by using Sway's IPC to send a request to "focus" the frame. This can be
done without invoking any external processes, but here is a hack using
swaymsg(1) just as a demonstration:
(defun spw/sway-raise-frame (orig-fun &optional frame)
(unless frame (setq frame (selected-frame)))
(if (member "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway"
(frame-parameter frame 'environment))
(call-process "swaymsg" nil nil nil
(format "[title=\"%s\"]"
(frame-parameter frame 'name))
"focus")
(funcall orig-fun frame)))
(advice-add 'raise-frame :around #'spw/sway-raise-frame)
On the one hand, Sway is one of the more popular Wayland compositors, so
it would be nice to support this. On the other hand, this isn't a
generic wlroots mechanism -- it will work only for Sway. (I suppose
it's possible that some other compositors will adopt Sway's IPC.)
Would this be an appropriate thing to add to raise-frame? Or is it
better left as a piece of advice? The IPC protocol is documented here:
