The xxkb program is a keyboard layout switcher and indicator. Unlike the programs that reload keyboard maps and use their own hot-keys, xxkb is a simple GUI for XKB (X KeyBoard extension) and just sends commands to and accepts events from XKB. That means that it will work with the existing setup of your X Server without any modifications.

Ulauncher is a fast application launcher for Linux. It is written in Python, using GTK+, and features: App Search (fuzzy matching), Calculator, Extensions, Shortcuts, File browser mode and Custom Color Themes.

xsecurelock is an X11 screen locker which uses a modular design to avoid the usual pitfalls of screen locking utility design.

As a consequence of this design, you shouldn't use the usual screen locker service with xsecurelock. Instead, add a helper binary to your operating-system's privileged-programs field:

(privileged-programs
 (cons*
  (privileged-program
   (program (file-append xsecurelock "/libexec/xsecurelock/authproto_pam"))
   (setuid? #t))
  %default-privileged-programs))

The Direct Rendering Infrastructure, also known as the DRI, is a framework for allowing direct access to graphics hardware under the X Window System in a safe and efficient manner. It includes changes to the X server, to several client libraries, and to the kernel (DRM, Direct Rendering Manager). The most important use for the DRI is to create fast OpenGL implementations providing hardware acceleration for Mesa. Several 3D accelerated drivers have been written to the DRI specification, including drivers for chipsets produced by 3DFX, AMD (formerly ATI), Intel and Matrox.

This package provides on-screen keyboard for wlroots compositors with the following features:

• Typing, modifier locking, layout switching

• Positive visual feedback on key presses

• On-the-fly layout and keymap switching

• Custom color schemes

• International layouts (cyrillic, arabic)

• Emoji support

• Compose key for character variants (e.g. diacritics)

• Show/hide keyboard on signals (SIGUSR1 = hide, SIGUSR2 = show, SIGRTMIN = toggle)

• Automatic portrait/landscape detection and subsequent layout switching

Xclip is a command line interface to the X11 clipboard. It can also be used for copying files, as an alternative to sftp/scp, thus avoiding password prompts when X11 forwarding has already been setup.

FYI is a command line utility to send desktop notifications to the user via a notification daemon implementing XDG desktop notifications.

fuzzel is a Wayland-native application launcher, similar to rofi's drun mode. It has Emacs key bindings and remembers frequently launched applications. The font and colors can be configured.

This package provides a wlroots-compatible Wayland color picker.

This package provides an application grid, button bar, and dmenu applications for Sway and other wlroots-based Wayland compositors.

xss-lock listens to X signals to fire up a user-defined screensaver. In effect this automatically locks the screen when closing a laptop lid or after a period of user inactivity (as set with xset s TIMEOUT). The notifier command, if specified, is executed first. Additionally, xss-lock uses the inhibition logic to lock the screen before the system goes to sleep.

Pixman is a low-level software library for pixel manipulation, providing features such as image compositing and trapezoid rasterisation.

A clipboard manager for Wayland that relies on an external selector, such as wofi, bemenu, dmenu, or rofi.

Run the binary in your session by adding exec wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store (or exec wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store 1>> PATH/TO/LOGFILE 2>&1 & to log errors) at the beginning of wherever you initialize programs.

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.

XForms is a graphical user interface toolkit for X based on the X11 Xlib library. It allows you to create windows, containing all kinds of widgets (buttons, sliders, browsers, menus etc.) with a few lines of code and then attach actions to the widgets, i.e., have some function called when a button is pressed. To make this even easier XForms comes with a program called fdesign that allows you to design a GUI for a program directly on the screen and which then writes out the necessary C code for it.

This library implements cross-platform clipboard utilities supporting both binary and text data.

bemenu is a dynamic menu which allows the user to flexibly select from a list of options (usually programs to launch). It renders the menu graphically with X11 or Wayland, or in a text terminal with ncurses.

Scrot saves a screenshot of a full screen, a window or a part of the screen selected by mouse.

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

This utility for X.org uses a modifier key as another key when pressed and released on its own. The default behaviour is to generate the Escape key when Left Control is pressed and released on its own.

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

Startup-notification contains a reference implementation of the startup notification protocol. The reference implementation is mostly under an X Window System style license, and has no special dependencies.

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.

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