Opening a new window never causes existing windows to resize. Workspaces are dynamic and arranged vertically. For multi monitor users- Every monitor has its own separate window strip. Windows can never "overflow" onto an adjacent monitor. On first start a popup of mainly logo + letter key bindings appears. Lots more in the config. The letter is in uppercase but you input in lowercase. The main ones to watch out are: (logo + E) = exit to prompt while (Alt + E) opens exittc for shutdown and reboot ONLY "Mod" is a special modifier equal to Super when running on a TTY, and is Alt when running as a winit window. If sfwbar loaded, it too will autostart On first start I recommend you launch your file manager or text editor and edit ~/.config/config.kdl # you can load niri inside X but most errors will resolve when on tty (wayland) to edit your config or start-niri command. Feel free to alter your dep file or your start-niri bin file. If your kb changes result in duplicates or bad syntax, you will get a report. niri will not start if bad config. Inside niri run $ niri validate to see errors. Suggest make one change and validate please! You can have 2 or more different kb shortcuts to do the same action, but I have removed a number of those, to free up more free letters for your combinations. Most of my changes are at the BOTTOM of the config. Original Config had over 600 lines, so $ niri validate is a must command. Note the word "spawn" in key bindings make no sense for a one off command like swaylock but pressing kb combo will repeat command so repeating (eg) launch terminal is what gives you a scrollable work space. (logo + ->) will scroll to the right etc....You can always have one opened app for each workspace! Optional TCES ignoring your preferred text editor/file mgr,media player swaylock --but kb combo works without needing $ swaylock -fl sfwaybar - a configurable panel at top of monitor....better than waybar IMHO fuzzel - a fuzzy search of desktop files and launcher rofi or wofi -- executables search and launcher # xwayland not supported instead use (if needed) TCE=xwayland-satellite Change-log: 2026/09/25 v 26.04 on 17x Current: 2026/09/25 ' > $P.tcz.info readelf -d $P/usr/local/bin/$P | grep 'NEEDED' # libpangocairo-1.0.so.0]libpango-1.0.so.0] pango # libgobject-2.0.so.0]libglib-2.0.so.0] glib2 pango # libcairo.so.2] cairo pango # libpipewire-0.3.so.0] pipewire # libdisplay-info.so.1] libdisplay-info # libgbm.so.1] libEGL # libseat.so.1] seatd # libudev.so.0] udev-lib # libinput.so.10] libinput # libpixman-1.so.0] pixman # libxkbcommon.so.0] libxkbcommon echo 'libdisplay-info.tcz libinput.tcz libEGL.tcz lxterminal.tcz pipewire.tcz seatd.tcz ' > $P.tcz.dep submitqc --libs rm -rf *.zsync
