To build without X11 or Wayland support set window_protocol=wayland
or window_protocol=x11
respectively. With both backends enabled wayst will default to wayland. You can force X11 mode with the xorg-only
option.
To target OpenGL ES 2.0 instead of OpenGL 2.1 set renderer=gles20
.
To build without libutf8proc set libutf8proc=off
.
To build with debuging symbols set mode=debug
or mode=debugoptimized
.
You can install wayst-git from AUR (arch user repository)
yay -S wayst-git
All option can be set in a configuration file or passed as command line arguments. To see all supported options run wayst --help
.
Wayst will look for: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wayst/config
or $HOME/.config/wayst/config
.
For an example configuration file see config.example
.
Wayst can use iTerm2 shell integration sequences or VTE prompt notifications to track command history.
