# convertablet

Support for tablet-laptop convertible on wlroots-based compositors.

This project includes both a daemon for handling screen rotation and docking,
and some configuration for other software

## Daemon

### Installation

1. Get the code

```bash
git clone https://git.kemonomimi.gay/yukijoou/convertablet && cd convertablet
```

2. Download and build the wayland extensions

```bash
cd wayland-protos/
./download_protocols.sh
./codegen.sh
cd ../
```

3. Build the daemon

```bash
./build.sh
```

4. Run it to try it out

```
./convertablet generic
```

This will run the daemon in 'generic' mode. This assumes "sane defaults" for
your display's name and motion sensor. It's likely your device isn't using
those.

You can check the list of supported devices with `./convertablet list-devices`,
and load that specific device's config with `./convertablet <device name here>`.

5. Copy it to /usr/local/bin & make it run at startup

### Configuration

You can create scripts at $HOME/.config/convertablet/hooks that will trigger on
events

- Basestation disconnected: basestation-disconnected-hook
- Basestation connected: basestation-connected-hook

## Using fcitx hooks

If you're using fcitx to get fancy input methods working, on-screen keyboards
will not work, because on wayland, only one program can detect input begining
events. To work around this issue, you can use the `fcitx5-hooks` module I wrote
to run a script when an input field is focused/unfocused. See instructions in
[fcitx5-hooks/](./fcitx5-hooks/).

## 3rd party programs Configurations

Still a work in progress...

In the meantime, you can find some example hooks for the convertablet daemon and
waybar in [configs/](./configs/).
