# Wayland installation

## dwl and dwlb

Follow installation instructions from dwl + dwlb to compile the two packages and install theme

Create a startup script or put into .bash_profile the following command to allow dwl to start correctly:

    exec dbus-run-session dwl -s 'dwlb -font "HackNerdFont:size=16"'

dwl requires that a status bar be provided for -s, in this case we are using dwlb

## Escape + Super key mapping

Since wayland does not have support for xcape, we need to use interception with a plugin instead.
The following link goes over how to install and use the interception plugin.

These are the configurations for my setup:

/etc/interception/dual-function-keys/mappings.yml:

    MAPPINGS:
        - KEY: KEY_CAPSLOCK
          TAP: KEY_ESC
          HOLD: KEY_LEFTMETA

/etc/interception/udevmon.d/rivos-laptop-udevmon.yml:

    - JOB: "intercept -g $DEVNODE | dual-function-keys -c /etc/interception/dual-function-keys/mappings.yml | uinput -d $DEVNODE"
      DEVICE:
        NAME: "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"

To get the device name: see the reference link.
