MangoWM Config

Personal config for MangoWM — wlroots-based Wayland compositor.

Screenshots

Keybinds:

• Print — full screen
• Super+Shift+S — region select

How it works

1. grim captures the screen (with slurp for region) → saves to a temp file
2. wl-copy copies to the Wayland clipboard (native Wayland apps)
3. xclip copies to the X11 clipboard (XWayland apps like rootapp)
4. swappy opens the editor for annotations

Why both clipboards?

XWayland apps (e.g. rootapp, Electron apps, WPS Office) can only read the X11 clipboard. wl-copy alone puts data only on the Wayland clipboard — invisible to XWayland. KDE/GNOME bridge these automatically; wlroots compositors don't. Writing to both clipboards ensures paste works everywhere.

Dependencies

Package	Purpose
grim	Screenshot capture (wlroots)
slurp	Region selection
wl-clipboard	Wayland clipboard (wl-copy/wl-paste)
swappy	Screenshot editor/annotator
xclip	X11 clipboard bridge for XWayland

Install by distro

Distro	Command
Arch	sudo pacman -S grim slurp wl-clipboard swappy xclip
Fedora	sudo dnf install grim slurp wl-clipboard swappy xclip
Debian/Ubuntu	sudo apt install grim slurp wl-clipboard swappy xclip
NixOS	Already included in system packages
openSUSE	sudo zypper install grim slurp wl-clipboard swappy xclip

Note: swappy may not be in older Debian/Ubuntu repos — build from source.

Shell

If you use NixOS, scripts must use #!/usr/bin/env bash (not #!/bin/bash) — NixOS has no /bin/bash.
