Navigating Waydog#

Waydog可以在虚拟机里运行，但由于明显需要Wayland，所以表现不是很好。

There are only a few basic programs to get you started. Firefox, Geany, Thunar, and Xfce4-terminal are standard for the main programs. It is up to the user to select others.

终端#

Waydog allows for the installation and use of terminal other than xfce4-terminal. Ghostty is an install option from the Waydog Installers, while alacritty, foot, kitty, guake, and lxterminal are available from the Quickgrab installers within the Waydog installers.

Ghostty, Alacritty, and Foot have basic configurations in place. For Ghostty, the config will be in ~/.config/ghostty/config.ghostty. The Alacritty and Foot configurations can be copied from /etc/xdg:

Alacritty:

mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty && cp /etc/xdg/alacritty/alacritty.toml ~/.config/alacritty/

Foot: for foot, you will be asked whether to keep the default configuration upon installation. This is your choice. The default added for distro use only changes a few options to make foot match Waydog a bit better:

mkdir -p ~/.config/foot && cp /etc/xdg/foot/foot.ini ~/.config/foot/

Look here for more Alacritty options: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/extra/man/alacritty.5.scd

All current options for Foot are already available in the configuration.

Both foot and Alacritty can be found in the Quickinstallers in the Waydog Installer dialog or installed directly through apt.

TO Change Terminals:#

Use: sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

or, just start typing ’terminal’ and use the autocomplete to find ’terminal-choices’, which will then open the alternatives dialog.

This should change all terminal use in the system over to your preferred terminal, except for Thunar, which will require adding or editing the existing entry.

Thunar Terminal Change (change ‘Ghostty’ to whatever you use):#

To add a new right-click action for Ghostty, at the top of Thunar, go to: Edit -> Configure custom actions -> Plus Symbol

For the name: Open Terminal Here (Ghostty)

For the command: ghostty --working-directory=%f

For the icon, look for: com.mitchellh.ghostty

Then under ‘Appearance Conditions’, make sure to check only **directories**, leaving the rest unchecked.

You can move a new entry up in the list by selecting the entry, and use the arrow keys to move it up or down for the right-click menu.

If wanting to also keep xfce4-terminal (recommended)#

From the thunar dialog, only append the name for the entry (xfce4). Then change the actual command used in:
~/.local/share/xfce4/helpers/custom-TerminalEmulator.desktop

Change lines 7 and 10 to xfce4-terminal: X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter=/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal "%s" X-XFCE-Commands=/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal

Notes:#

Logging out of the different compositors requires different commands. If you have issues logging out to either SDDM or Ly, you may need to change the command used in /usr/local/bin/ld-logout. Best practice here is to copy ld-logout to ~/bin and make your changes there.
