I have released scroll, a new Wayland compositor. It is a fork of sway with a layout similar to PaperWM or niri. It is based on my plugin for Hyprland, hyprscroller.
Aside from the usual scrolling workflow, it remains very compatible with sway's configuration, and adds new features like:
- Workspace Scaling: you can work at any scale. This also supports overview and quick jump modes (like easymotion).
- Content Scaling: you can also scale the content of individual windows. You can zoom in and out, and the content will be scaled.
- Trackpad and Mouse scrolling gestures: scroll the windows of your workspace using the trackpad or dragging with the mouse.
- Portrait and Landscape monitor support: the scrolling layout adapts to your monitor transparently.
The workflow is very similar to hyprscroller on which I based it.
Note that the only layout supported is the scrolling layout. The original sway/i3 layouts have been removed to simplify things.
There is an AUR package if you want to try it out.
