sxhkd-win32

Sxhkd impl for Windows with Optional UNIX like workspace support through Native VirtualDesktops!

Instructions

• Local Enviornment Method
  • Edit config.h and actions.h according to what you want
  • Build using make all or make
  • Copy the produced sxhkd-win32.exe to your location of choice
  • Run make clean in the working directory to clean it
• Github Actions Method (Easier)
  • Fork the repository
  • Change config.h or any other code as you want
  • Go to actions tab and dispatch the build workflow
  • Download the built exe and dll from releases, Enjoy!

Virtual Desktop Features

• Please see VD-Action.md.
• Note that the VirtualDesktopAccessor DLL used right now is broken on some newer builds of Windows, if other hotkeys are working, then you might wanna download the latest release of VirtualDesktopAccessor.dll from here.
• The optimal way of using VDA with sxhkd is after setting the taskbar as hidden and toggling explorer by Alt+E (see config), this prevents any weird flickering behaviour that the taskbar has when VDs are switched too fast
• PS: You can use Bing Wallpaper and set on every VD for a truly awesome VD experience!
