After months exclusively using the #OpenSource #Wayland #Sway #WindowManager, I'm finding that I would be grateful if there was a way to do the following with #mouse. Increase the #MouseCursor size, #LockScreen with mouse, open #Calendar with mouse, reboot or shutdown with mouse, adjust screen #brightnessctl and #wlsunset with mouse, open #BluetoothManager with mouse, open wifi and network settings with mouse, #AppLauncher with mouse. I'm uncertain of how to approach some of these on #SwayWM
@crft There’s a setting to control the size of the mouse cursor. I use it for a larger-than-usual cursor so it’s easier to spot when I use a mouse.
@crft I think some of this might be possible through the bar? e.g., I think i3blocks can allow configuring mouse actions for particular sections (including e.g. scroll wheel up/down for brightness up/down). Or alternative bar programs (e.g. waybar instead of the default swaybar — confusing names obviously) might give you more flexibility with mouse actions.
@crft What kind of interaction do you envision to “Lock Screen with mouse”? I wrote a tool to trigger custom actions when a mouse touches a corner of a screen, for example. You can also add an entry to lock the screen to your launcher.

@crft

really funny, that you've choosen a keyboard driven wm and now you call for the use of the mouse. If you have installed waybar, you can cover some things, e.g. screen brightness control or bluetooth manager. And there some nice addons, see

@fzap is there an alternative window manager you would recommend on Alpine?
@crft I can recommend you to look in Manjaro Sway linux distro configurations and take their settings for most of what you want.
