sushi

An itsy bitsy floating Wayland compositor (4k~ sloc), built on neuswc and neuwld.

• Floating only.
• Fullscreen toggle.
• Window centering (new windows spawn in the middle).
• Alt-Tab window focusing.
• Server-side decorations, five themes (flat, classic, simple, love, win95).
• Title bar font is any fontconfig pattern.
• Per-app_id window rules (workspace, border, title bar).
• Autostart
• Built-in nein cursor, or fall back to client-drawn ones.
• Panels get their space respected (layer shell, through neuswc).
• Config hot-reloaded on save.
• sushi validate tells you what you got wrong.

Dependencies

• swc (the neuswc fork).

• wayland-server.
• xkbcommon.
• libinput.

Building

1. Run meson setup build to configure.
2. Run ninja -C build to build sushi.
3. Run ninja -C build install to install it.

There is nothing to edit before building: the config lives at ~/.config/sushi/config. See doc/config for the full grammar and every default.

Checking your config

sushi validate            # checks the file sushi would load
sushi validate ./config   # checks a specific file

Saving the config reloads on the fly. The keyboard section is the exception: swc reads the layout and key repeat once at startup, so those need a restart.
