Class Documentation¶

class ApplicationSwitcher¶

A simple application switcher.

This class spawns an internal wayland client. Shells can bind the methods defined in this class to custom keybinds. For example, a shell may bind alt + tab to trigger ApplicationSwitcher::next_app.

Instances of this class should be provided to miral::StartupInternalClient.

Users must call ApplicationSwitcher::stop in the stop callback of their server to stop the switcher.

This internal client relies on the following protocols:

wlr foreign toplevel management v1
wlr layer shell v1

Remark

Since MirAL 5.6

Warning

This is implementation is a work in progress. As such, it may be lacking features that are expected from a typical application switcher client. Use at your own risk.
