swayprop

Xprop for Sway. Inspired by https://github.com/vilari-mickopf/hyprprop, but shares almost no code with it anymore.

Dependencies

Sway
jq for parsing swaymsg output
slurp for window selection

Installation

Basher

basher install git.alternerd.tv/alterNERDtive/swayprop

(Github mirror: basher install alterNERDtive/swayprop)

Manual

Clone the repository (git clone https://git.alternerd.tv/alterNERDtive/swayprop.git) or download and extract a repository archive, then link / copy swayprop into your PATH.

Usage

Just run

swayprop

and select desired window.

The tool will print the selected Window’s JSON output from swaymsg -t get_tree, or nothing on error/cancel.

If you cancel the selection it will exit 1, in case slurp errors out it relays the exit code.

In case you miss xkill, run

swaykill
