sov's Issues

In case of multi-monitor setup only monitor-specific workspaces should pop up on each monitor

To be implemented.

You have a nixpkg now

I created a nixpkg for this project its currently in nix unstable

Some apps show "wrong" name

Not sure how to put the title properly to describe this, so I attached a screenshot.

"Electron" on screen 1 is obsidian
"org.wezfurlong.wezterm" is wezterm

Is there something I can do on my end to make them show different names?

Using aur/sov 0.87b-1 (arch)

PS, thanks for sharing such a cool project!

EndeavourOS - New install of SOV fails to start systemd sov.service

New install of SOV fails to start systemd sov.service

System

Linux distribution: EndeavourOS

Behaviour

When attempting to start sov.service with systemd, the following message appears in journalctl:

[marioagustincarranza@sway ~]$ systemctl status --user sov.service

I am currently attempting to know if its an issue made by me, or if something needs to be modified

Typo in error message

Running sov prints:

Ttrying to allocate 0 bytes for ../sov-0.62/src/modules/zen_core/zc_cstring.c 208

Trying has a typo.

Clickable Workspaces + Auto-update while Shown [Feature Request]

Using SOV on a tablet would benefit greatly from allowing the user to move to a given workspace by tapping (clicking) on it.

In addition, auto-updating a static SOV in sitting "show" mode could, along with the above feature, allow SOV to be used not just as a map of workspaces, but as a also as a great touchscreen/tablet navigation tool. This could presumably be accomplished by listening to workspace / window events via the sway IPC socket.

Build fails with multiple errors

I've been trying to get this working on Void Linux both using xbps-src as well as directly running meson build and ninja -C build from a terminal and it fails during the second command (i.e. ninja -C build) with the error ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed

and with the following output:

Any help? I'm quite new to meson-style builds.

No representation for tabbed workspaces

Below is a screenshot of workspace 9. I would expect that:

the windows shown in sov are the same ones that are shown on screen
a thin line above them to represent the tab bar
some indication of which tab is focused.
Instead it's defaulted to showing the second tab, which is just a grid of terminals I have for monitoring.

Build succeeds on 0.72, but fails on 0.74

I don't know if it's my system or an issue in release 0.74, but I cannot compile it, though 0.72 compiles fine.

Edit: 0.73 compiles fine, too.

Font fallbacks

Is it possible to support font fallbacks? Non-Latin codepoints show up as a box when using a monospace font because it doesn't have a glyph for it. Skimming through the code briefly, I think it might involve using the fontconfig library (and add an option to use fontconfig instead of parsing font-family), or making a fallback mechanism manually by calling FT_Get_Char_Index in a loop to swap out different fonts if it returns 0, and making the css parser recognize comma separated font descriptions. (I did not try this with a patch yet)

[Feature Request] Option to hide sov after click

Extension of the suggestion provided by #33. When a workspace gets clicked on/is selected, hide sov. Would also be nice if clicking anywhere outside of the sov window hid the overlay as well.

Sov incorrectly renders outputs which are rotated

See workspace 2: This is actually a very-wide monitor that has been rotated in sway using transform 90.

Workspacenumbers in the last column are missing

configuration: default one, only with the FiraCode Nerd Font

How do I activate sov in Sway?

Hi there and thank you for creating SOV. How can I use it?

I have installed sov under EndeavourOS (Arch-based distro) and think to have configured correctly the relevant sway files. Waybar launches fine and now, how do I use SOV?

In the command line, I get :

Missing error checking in src/sov/config/fontconfig.c

I noticed that in src/sov/config/fontconfig.c, 'popen' is called without checking for NULL (e.g. if fc-match was not in $PATH). For better error messages (instead of a crash because of a NULL, or maybe even silently continuing or corrupting memory on systems without memory protection), I recommend checking the return value.

When new output is created and old output is gone, sov still draws to the old dead output

I use a tool named kanshi that dynamically manages my outputs and workspaces. However, whenever kanshi activates after a new output is created and the former output is gone, sov thinks there are 0 workspaces. Debug messages below were generated after first running it, switching between two workspaces (that works fine), then migrating to a new output, then switching between two workspaces (thinks there are 0 workspaces, so it just shows a blank bar in the middle of the screen).

Edit: it seems that sov thinks the old output, which is gone, is still being focused, so it sees that the old output has 0 workspaces. At least it recognizes the new output's workspaces in the debug messages that happen right after kanshi activates.

How do I set it up and use it on nix os?

you can download sov package and run
rm -rf -f /tmp/sovpipe && mkfifo /tmp/sovpipe && tail -f /tmp/sov | sov -v -t 200
but it does nothing

sov works from cli (pressing 0 1 2 3 and enter) but not with pipes/sockets

Blurry font with scaled displays

I just found sov. I love the idea ❤️ , but when I gave it a try, found out that the text it shows is actually quite blurry:

Above is a screenshot with crisp text from foot but blurry text from sov. The above screen is scaled with a scaling factor of 2. I also have another screen with a scaling factor of 1.5, in case that's relevant.

Adding border color and radius

I suggest adding 5 more config variables (if possible):
window_border_radius - change window border radius
window_border_color - change window border color
window_border_sizer - change window border thickness?
border_radios - for workspace border
border_size - workspace border thickness

Adding those 5 would help people to style it more to their looks and feel with custom styles.

Does not launch on EndeavourOS / pipe value not read

fresh install on sway using the config method, using the binding keys does not show sov, while it works by launching from a terminal. Manually echoing "1" to the pipe after sov is running also does not show sov.

[Feature Request] Show overview until release of $mod

I would love if Sway Overview could be set to

show on $mod+key (as it is now),
remain shown when key is released, but $mod held,
refresh on workspace switching, and
hide when $mod is released.

I think this would both improve the experience of using Sway Overview when changing with $mod+1-$mod+9 etc., where $mod could now be held while choosing what number to change to, and also when switching to next and previous workspaces.

I could imagine others would also be happy for this feature. @larskotthoff mentions mentions it, and it is an implemented feature of Workspace Matrix for Gnome where it makes maneuvering the space of workspaces a breeze.

It is my impression that the way keybindings are implemented in Sway makes it impossible to implement this through the Sway config alone. The patch from this rejected PR makes it possible, but changes --release a lot, which was given as a reason for rejecting it. Additionally, Sway Overview does not refresh when workspaces are switched if it remains shown.

Another reason given for the PR rejection is that the behavior should be implementable through current Wayland protocols for apps that use layer-shell---which I from the description guess Sway Overview does?

Layers of workspaces like cards?

I somehow like the idea of like press alt-tab and then sov displays on screen array of workspaces and its window thumnails like a stack of cards (reveal some portion of next workspace and next and next -- the more the less spaces to reveal) and cycle through them.

Some animations would be better :)

Unable to switch to the selected workspace properly by clicking if there are more than 10 workspaces

I'm using a script that I wrote, called "swayworkroom.sh". It creates sets of each being able to have its 10 workspaces, for example 11 to 20, and 21 to 30, r1 to r0.

Selecting a workspace by clicking in the sov panel doesn't switch to the corresponding one properly.

What happened?

Also, is there any output to be listened from, for indicating which workspace after that I've just selected with sov by clicking? I need to keep track of it to notify the script which set that I'm currently in.

Bug: CSS colors don't follow standard: #RRGGBBAA

After trying to set colors for sov to match my desktop theme, I noticed that colors didn't seem to be displayed correctly. Later, by experimenting with setting FF for each octet, I discovered that the format currently seems to be:

#BBGGRRAA

Since this Kinetic UI seems to be using CSS files for styling, it should probably be corrected to use the standard CSS format instead:

#RRGGBBAA

It might be that the color channels are flipped in endian-ness, or some other mistake was made to flip them when handling the hexidecimal color codes somewhere in the code.

[Feature Request] Add support to scroll through workspaces to display ones that exceed the screen

I have a script here, as an extension to sway to have more than 10 workspaces.

Now, when I have a lot of workspaces opened, sov will display some workspaces exceeding on the screen.

Like the following:

How can I see the rest of workspaces, without shrinking down sov to display on my screen?

Since I'm working on a small screen laptop, making it display smaller overally isn't really an option, as the text will be too small to see.

Repeating the `workspace next` sway action causes the sov overview to repeat, as in compound. So the opacity increases per keypress

Is there anything I can do to counteract this?

Workspaces with no windows in them are missing

In the scenario where this screenshot was taken, workspaces 6, 7 and 10 had no windows on them:

When clicking on workspaces 8 and 9 I instead get taken to workspace 6 and 7 due to the missing workspaces not appearing. I saw in screenshots that it should work so I'm a bit confused.

Jun 24 14:43:39 DELL-XPS-9570 systemd-coredump[19528]: [🡕] Process 18737 (sov) of user 1000 dumped core.

Instead if I start sov from the terminal this does not happen: the keybinding correctly shows/hides sov.

This is what I put in my sway config (as you can see they are similar to the default in the README) :

bindsym --no-repeat $mod+equal  exec "echo 1 > /tmp/sovpipe"
bindsym --release $mod+equal  exec "echo 0 > /tmp/sovpipe"
exec_always rm -f /tmp/sovpipe && mkfifo /tmp/sovpipe && tail -f /tmp/sovpipe | sov

Versions:
sov v0.71 from nixpkgs unstable
sway 1.7 from nixpkgs 22.05

Support HiDPI Display Scaling

Currently on a 4k screen with 2x scale the overview window is pixelated

What type of color code does the css file use?

Each color code has eight-digits, it looks really confusing, as regular color codes are either RGB or Hex, why in this case, do color codes have eight-digits?

The css file named main.css is located under /usr/local/share/sov/ along with the main.html file.

I couldn't find a converter online to convert a hex color code to octal color code that would convert it correctly. Once converting to octal, the color looked not the same.

Nor can I use just hex color codes, they just don't look right. :(

Any helps?

Add compilation flag to overwrite default `/etc` `/usr` paths

For distros like NixOS that "sandbox" applications it is helpful to be able to overwrite the default path where SOV will read default cofigurations or other hardcoded files.
For now the problem is resolved via a patch applied before the buildling phase of the package (see patch of @TravisDavis-ops here ) but this is not the best way of handling this in my opinion.
Instead a solution like this one is more appropriate.

I the next days I'll take a look at the repo to see if I can issue a PR but I never had experience with meson/ninja so I will not promise anything.

Dependencies clarifications

It seems libglew is listed as a dependency but is not used anywhere in the code.

Also libwegl is listed but is actually libwayland-egl and should be part of any wayland deployment. I don't see the reason for listing it in addition to wayland. This is reflected by its absence in the list of packages to be installed on either Debian or Arch.

Did I miss something somewhere or does the readme need an update?

Escaping a forward slash

If the window title contains "/", it will be displayed escaped.
These are present at the time of swaymsg -t get_tree, but is there any plan to solve this problem with sov?
Thank you.

I get the following error because it cant find the html files
once those are copied it works, I guess it found that there was a "sov" path in my config path and then assumed that the html was there, instead of checking for it and falling back to the "/usr/share" version

Font Rendering is pixelated, unaliased

example of sov font rendering:

example of termite (a terminal emulator) font rendering:

Font defaults to "Terminus (TTF):style=Bold"

I do not have this font installed, so the text is a bunch of boxes.

You could change the default to 'sans' or 'monospace' which are aliases to other fonts that should be present on any system. 'sans' on my system is an alias to 'Liberation Sans'.

From a brief glance src/sov/config/config.c needs to be changed.

If you're intending on making the config part of the code (like dwm/st), then perhaps it could output an error if the font can't be found.
