Crate jay_config

Expand description

This crate allows you to configure the Jay compositor.

A minimal example configuration looks as follows:

use jay_config::{config, quit, reload};
use jay_config::input::get_default_seat;
use jay_config::keyboard::mods::ALT;
use jay_config::keyboard::syms::{SYM_q, SYM_r};

fn configure() {
    let seat = get_default_seat();
    // Create a key binding to exit the compositor.
    seat.bind(ALT | SYM_q, || quit());
    // Reload the configuration.
    seat.bind(ALT | SYM_r, || reload());
}

config!(configure);

You should configure your crate to be compiled as a shared library:

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

After compiling it, copy the shared library to $HOME/.config/jay/config.so and restart the compositor. It should then use your configuration file.

Note that you do not have to restart the compositor every time you want to reload your configuration afterwards. Instead, simply invoke the reload function via a shortcut.
