NAME

       waybar - sway workspaces module

DESCRIPTION

       The workspaces module displays the currently used workspaces in Sway.

CONFIGURATION

       Addressed by sway/workspaces

       all-outputs:
           typeof: bool
           default: false
           If set to false, workspaces will only be shown on the output they are on. If set to
       true all workspaces will be shown on every output.

       format:
           typeof: string
           default: {value}
           The format, how information should be displayed.

       format-icons:
           typeof: array
           Based on the workspace name and state, the corresponding icon gets selected. See
       icons.

       disable-scroll:
           typeof: bool
           default: false
           If set to false, you can scroll to cycle through workspaces. If set to true this
       behaviour is disabled.

       disable-click:
           typeof: bool
           default: false
           If set to false, you can click to change workspace. If set to true this behaviour is
       disabled.

       smooth-scrolling-threshold:
           typeof: double
           Threshold to be used when scrolling.

       disable-scroll-wraparound:
           typeof: bool
           default: false
           If set to false, scrolling on the workspace indicator will wrap around to the first
       workspace when reading the end, and vice versa. If set to true this behavior is disabled.

       enable-bar-scroll:
           typeof: bool
           default: false
           If set to false, you can't scroll to cycle throughout workspaces from the entire bar.
       If set to true this behaviour is enabled.

       disable-markup:
           typeof: bool
           default: false
           If set to true, button label will escape pango markup.

       current-only:
           typeof: bool
           default: false
           If set to true. Only focused workspaces will be shown.

       persistent_workspaces:
           typeof: json (see below)
           default: empty
           Lists workspaces that should always be shown, even when non existent

       on-update:
           typeof: string
           Command to execute when the module is updated.

       disable-auto-back-and-forth:
           typeof: bool
           Whether to disable workspace_auto_back_and_forth when clicking on workspaces. If this
       is set to true, clicking on a workspace you are already on won't do anything, even if
       workspace_auto_back_and_forth is enabled in the Sway configuration.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

       {value}: Name of the workspace, as defined by sway.

       {name}: Number stripped from workspace value.

       {icon}: Icon, as defined in format-icons.

       {index}: Index of the workspace.

ICONS

       Additional to workspace name matching, the following format-icons can be set.

       •   default: Will be shown, when no string matches is found.
       •   urgent: Will be shown, when workspace is flagged as urgent
       •   focused: Will be shown, when workspace is focused
       •   persistent: Will be shown, when workspace is persistent one.

PERSISTENT WORKSPACES

       Each entry of persistent_workspace names a workspace that should always be shown.
       Associated with that value is a list of outputs indicating where the workspace should be
       shown, an empty list denoting all outputs.

           "sway/workspaces": {
               "persistent_workspaces": {
                   "3": [], // Always show a workspace with name '3', on all outputs if it does not exists
                   "4": ["eDP-1"], // Always show a workspace with name '4', on output 'eDP-1' if it does not exists
                   "5": ["eDP-1", "DP-2"] // Always show a workspace with name '5', on outputs 'eDP-1' and 'DP-2' if it does not exists
               }
           }

       n.b.: the list of outputs can be obtained from command line using swaymsg -t get_outputs
