# swayhide - A window swallower for sway | ||
|
||
## Description | ||
|
||
`swayhide` hides the currently active terminal (by moving it to the scratchpad), | ||
then it executes the supplied command. | ||
When the child process has finished, the terminal is moved back. | ||
This is incredibly useful if your workflow includes opening graphical programs from the terminal, | ||
as the "locked" terminal won't have to take up any space. | ||
|
||
Ideally this would be done using wlroots instead of swayipc, | ||
but I'm too lazy to figure out how that works. | ||
|
||
This project will be deprecated when I find/build a wlroots alternative, | ||
since that would make it wm-independent and thus more future proof. | ||
|
||
This project is heavily inspired by [jamesofarrell/i3-swallow](https://github.com/jamesofarrell/i3-swallow) | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ swayhide firefox | ||
$ alias hide="swayhide" | ||
$ hide zathura document.pdf | ||
$ hide "imv image.jpg" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ cargo install swayhide | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Building from source | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ git clone https://github.com/NomisIV/swayhide | ||
$ cd swayhide | ||
$ cargo install --path . | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## TODO | ||
|
||
- Usage menu (triggered by `--help` or no command) | ||
- Shell completions (how to bundle completion files?) | ||
|
||
Contributions are very welcome :) |
