# this works on sway or i3wm, for anything else, read the documentation for other Window manager or Desktop environment
bindsym $mod+y exec get-chars --type
bindsym $mod+g exec launch-from-dir -p $HOME/Games
bindsym $mod+Tab exec sway-window-switcher
bindsym $mod+Shift+D exec 'launch-from-dir -p $HOME/scripts -l -t popup'

file-context-menu is special, it needs a dynamic file path as argument to make sense of using this. For example, you can bind it to the execute command in the swayimg config like I do.

Scripts

get-chars

A simple tool that will type or print letters from specified positions of text in the clipboard, this is useful when websites use partial passwords for login. This depends on fuzzel, wtype, and wl-clipboard.

launch-from-dir

Helpful tool to launch programs stored in immediate subdirectories, I use this to launch games saved in my $HOME/Games directory.
This depends on fuzzel, and libnotify.

file-context-menu

A script to show context menu for a given file path, currently supports copy path, copy file, and open file.
This depends on fuzzel, and gio (part of glib).

sway-window-switcher

A helpful tool to list and switch to the windows opened in sway.
This depends on fuzzel, and swaymsg.
