Dzen is a general purpose messaging, notification and menuing program for X11. It was designed to be fast, tiny and scriptable in any language.

clipnotify is a simple program that, using the XFIXES extension to X11, waits until a new selection is available and then exits.

It was primarily designed for clipmenu, to avoid polling for new selections.

clipnotify doesn't try to print anything about the contents of the selection, it just exits when it changes. This is intentional -- X11's selection API is verging on the insane, and there are plenty of others who have already lost their sanity to bring us xclip/xsel/etc. Use one of those tools to complement clipnotify.

Provides bindings to libxdo for manipulating X11 via simulated input. (Note that this is mostly a legacy library; you may wish to look at python-xdo for newer bindings.)

gtk-session-lock is a fork of gtk-layer-shell to build screen lockers using the secure ext-session-lock-v1 protocol. This library is compatible with C, C++ and any language that supports GObject introspection files (Python, Vala, etc, see using the library below).

dex, DesktopEntry Execution, is a program to generate and execute .desktop files of the Application type. It is also an autostarter compliant with the XDG autostart specification.

Xkbcommon is a library to handle keyboard descriptions, including loading them from disk, parsing them and handling their state. It is mainly meant for client toolkits, window systems, and other system applications; currently that includes Wayland, kmscon, GTK+, Qt, Clutter, and more. Despite the name, it is not currently used by anything X11 (yet).

Rofi is a minimalist application launcher. It memorizes which applications you regularly use and also allows you to search for an application by name.

sct is a lightweight utility to set the color temperature of the screen.

xkblayout is a CLI application to generate templates for a new XKB layout, either in the user's home directory or the system directory.

The x-resize command detects physical display resolution changes via udev and invokes the xrandr command to reconfigure the active display resolution accordingly. It can be used to implement dynamic resize support for desktop environments that lack native support such as Xfce.

This package provides a wrapper script around x11-clipboard to use it as a clipboard on X11 also. It also contains helper scripts for xclip and xsel to assist with the transition.

GNU Xnee is a program that can record, replay and distribute user actions in X11. It can be used to automate user interactions for testing or demonstration purposes.

sxhkd is a simple X hotkey daemon with a powerful and compact configuration syntax.

XOSD provides a C library and a simple utility (osd_cat) for displaying transparent text on your screen.

The xf86-input-wacom driver is the wacom-specific X11 input driver for the X.Org X Server version 1.7 and later (X11R7.5 or later).

xtrlock locks the X server till the user enters their password at the keyboard. While xtrlock is running, the mouse and keyboard are grabbed and the mouse cursor becomes a padlock. Output displayed by X programs, and windows put up by new X clients, continue to be visible, and any new output is displayed normally. The mouse and keyboard are returned when the user types their password, followed by Enter or Newline. If an incorrect password is entered the bell is sounded. Pressing Backspace or Delete erases one character of a password partially typed; pressing Escape or Clear clears anything that has been entered.

Wofi is a launcher/menu program for wlroots based wayland compositors such as sway, similar to rofi.

xscreensaver is a popular screen saver collection with many entertaining demos. It also acts as a nice screen locker.

xftwidth is a small C program for calculating the pixel widths of displayed text using Xft fonts. It is especially useful in scripts for displaying text in graphical panels, menus, popups, and notification windows generated using dzen. These scripts are often used in conjunction with minimalistic tiling window managers such as herbstluftwm and bspwm.

Wob, or Wayland Overlay Bar, is a lightweight overlay volume, backlight, progress, or anything bar for Wayland.

wlrctl is a command line utility for miscellaneous wlroots Wayland extensions. At this time, wlrctl supports the foreign-toplevel-mangement (window/toplevel command), virtual-keyboard (keyboard command), and virtual-pointer (pointer command) protocols.

Bind a key for any given application that will launch the application, if it's not already running, or focus the application's window,if it is running. Pressing the key again will cycle to the application's next window, if there's more than one.

screen-message is a tool for displaying text on your screen. It will make the text as large as possible and display it with black color on a white background (colors are configurable on the commandline).

Xdotool lets you simulate keyboard input and mouse activity, move and resize windows, etc. It does this using X11's XTEST extension and other Xlib functions. Additionally, you can search for windows and move, resize, hide, and modify window properties like the title. If your window manager supports it, you can use xdotool to switch desktops, move windows between desktops, and change the number of desktops.
