scroll is a Wayland compositor forked from sway, but with a scrolling layout similar to PaperWM, niri or hyprscroller.
scroll is mostly compatible with your sway configuration.
Aside from the scrolling layout, scroll adds many new features to sway, including:
- Animations: scroll supports very customizable animations.
- Rounded borders and title bars, dimming of inactive windows, and dynamic shadows with blur.
- Lua API: scroll provides a lua API to script the window manager.
- Content scaling: The content of individual windows (X and Wayland) can be scaled independently of the general output scale.
- Overview and Jump modes: You can see a full overview of the desktop and work with the windows at that scale. Jump allows you to move to any window with just a few key presses, like easymotion in some editors. There are jump modes to preview and switch workspaces, tiling or floating windows, or applications in the scratchpad. For floating windows and the scratchpad, it shows every window without overlaps for easier selection.
- Workspace scaling: Apart from overview, you can scale the workspace to any scale using key bindings or the mouse, and work at that scale.
- Several full screen modes: workspace, global, application and layout.
- Trails, trailmarks and spaces.
- Trackpad/Mouse scrolling: You can use the trackpad or mouse dragging to navigate/scroll the workspace windows.
- Portrait and Landscape monitor support: scroll is designed from the ground up to adapt its layout to both portrait or landscape monitors. You can define the layout orientation per output (monitor) or change it with a key stroke.
...and many other features.
Make sure to check out the TUTORIAL linked from the main README. It contains several videos explaining some of the features.
