Wayland OSD has been released

A pure Wayland adaptation of my earlier OSD has been released. Small description from project’s Github:

“wayland-volume-osd is a small GTK4 layer-shell on-screen display for Wayland. Your compositor handles global shortcuts; shortcuts call this tool to change volume/media state and show the overlay.

It does not read /dev/input/event*, install udev rules, or require an input group.”

Among new features,there is a new:

  • Setup UI.
  • More CLI oriented automated (best-effort) configuration.
  • FN keys support.
  • Support for Labwc, Hyprland and Sway.
  • There is also a mention/integration to Lwm-Wayland which is my upcoming Wayland compositor based upon Labwc.

🧭 Waybind – Global Keybind Launcher for Linux

Waybind is a lightweight global keyboard shortcut daemon written in Python.

It lets you define custom keybindings that launch commands.
Works on both X11 and Wayland, depending on permissions and compositor behavior.

Note. Tested on Wayland – LabWc

✅ Features

– Global keybinding support using low-level input events
– Supports combinations like `CTRL+ALT+T`, `SUPER+W`, etc.
– Lightweight and daemonized – runs quietly in the background
– No `systemd` or desktop environment integration forced/required (but recommended).
– Minimal dependencies (Python only)
