Swayautonames

This little program automatically renames workspaces in sway similar to i3-workspace-names-daemon.

Example:

Configuration

Configuration files are loaded with the priority

• ./config.json
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/swayautonames/config.json
• /etc/swayautonames/config.json

The config has the form

{
    "app_symbols": {
        "app_name": "symbol"
    }
}

For the sway configuration you should be using numbered Workspaces instead of names. E.g.

bindsym $mod+1 workspace number 1
