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
- Get the code
git clone https://git.kemonomimi.gay/yukijoou/convertablet && cd convertablet
- Download and build the wayland extensions
cd wayland-protos/
./download_protocols.sh
./codegen.sh
cd ../
- Build the daemon
./build.sh
- 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>.
- 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/.
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/.
