Switcher doesn't switch

[savchenko]

In continuation of #2,

ps ax | grep 'swayfloatingswitcher'
569641 pts/0    Sl+    0:00 ./swayfloatingswitcher

In Sway config:

bindsym Alt+Tab exec swayfloatingswitcher-client --next
bindsym Alt+Shift+Tab exec swayfloatingswitcher-client --previous

Also:

run --next

Only one instance of swayfloatingswitcher can be running at a time (per user).

I'm not sure if the GitHub app is cutting some of the post off or not so I'll check again tomorrow

I have only one instance running as can be seen from the first snippet.

Quite likely :) Enjoy the rest!

Hmmm... What session dbus services are running? You can use Gnomes DFeet or Qts QDBusViewer :)

[savchenko]

$ sudo ps ax | grep dbus # unrelated stuff is manually trimmed
    804 ?        Ss     0:08 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only
   1491 ?        Ss     0:01 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only

[Erik Reider]

I was referring to which dbus objects are you running. If swayfloatingswitcher is there, the application is running in the background

[savchenko]

Can confirm, it's there:

qdbus | grep -C1 sway
:1.710
 org.erikreider.swayfloatingswitcher

Edit

[Erik Reider]

So then the application should be up and running in the background

It does. Added screenshot from the d-feet above. Anything else you might find helpful?

[Erik Reider]

Everything looks good. Try running killall swayfloatingswitcher; swayfloatingswitcher

[savchenko]

As expected, swayfloatingswitcher: no process found. Meaning I don't have one lingering on the background. I have also checked if it is affected by ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css - not the case.

Can you post a screenshot how working swayfloatingswitcher looks like?

[Erik Reider]

It'll only appear if there's a floating window in the focused workspace on the focused monitor

[savchenko]

Good point of reference. Created a couple of floating windows of foot, re-launched server and executed client manually:

./swayfloatingswitcher --next
Could not aquire "org.erikreider.swayfloatingswitcher" name

:-/

[Erik Reider]

Try running swayfloatingswitcher-client --next instead

[savchenko]

That was one unfortunate typo!

Let's close the issue?

[Erik Reider]

Great! That happens to me all the time 😅
