Toshy v24.10.0

Changes

Releases from this project are meant only as records of major changes. There will be automatic attachments generated by GitHub, but to get the latest version download the zip from the green <> Code ▼ button on the main page.

  • Fix the completely broken COSMIC window context method, after a COSMIC Wayland protocol was updated from version 1 to version 2 and incorporated ext_foreign_toplevel_list_v1 for handling app_id and title change events. This protocol change showed up as COSMIC alpha 2 was released and made the keymapper nonfunctional in COSMIC. There is currently a strange bug in the behavior of the COSMIC compositor regarding activated state updates, that I can't really do anything about. If shortcuts seem to stop working correctly try switching to another window and back, or toggling the maximize button.
  • Add Ptyxis as terminal option for tray icon item to show services log
  • Version bump various things and improve toshy-versions output

Toshy v24.09.0

Changes

Releases from this project are meant only as records of major changes. There will be automatic attachments generated by GitHub, but to get the latest version download the zip from the green <> Code ▼ button on the main page.

The main change here is some reworking of the environment detection module for maintainability, and to add the ability to try to identify not just the "desktop environment" but also the specific "window manager" in use. With many DEs you don' t need to know this because the same window manager is always in use. But some DEs like LXQt are very flexible and work with multiple possible window managers. Since the window context methods are specific to certain window managers, where the session type is Wayland, it's necessary to get the window manager context separately.

Some other changes:

  • Added distro support for Oreon Project (AlmaLinux-based)
  • Allow the apply-tweaks installer command to do --fancy-pants tweaks
  • Third-party extensions have been updated for GNOME 47
  • Blocked some odd Firefox zoom shortcuts
  • Fixed item label in tray icon menu

Toshy v24.08.0

Releases from this project are meant only as records of major changes. There will be automatic attachments generated by GitHub, but to get the latest version download the zip from the green <> Code ▼ button on the main page.

Changes

  • Added preliminary support for a wlroots protocol. See the Wiki article for more information on how/where this might be usable.
  • Added preliminary support for the upcoming Pop!_OS COSMIC desktop environment. See the same Wiki article for 'wlroots' above.
  • Added detection logic for Qtile, Niri window managers
  • Disabled the Option-key special characters layout by default, for slightly better performance and due to limited usefulness to most users.
  • Added a script that can translate Plasma shortcuts to integers and back, for use with D-Bus commands (plasma_shortcuts_converter.py).
  • Added a script to simplify using a specific D-Bus interface in Plasma (org.kde.KGlobalAccel).
  • Added multiple scripts for manually tweaking various Plasma 6 app settings. (See ~/.config/toshy/scripts/plasma-*.sh).
  • Added new, shorter verbose output alias for toshy-config-verbose-start: toshy-debug.
  • Fixed Dolphin "refresh view" shortcut remap from Cmd+R.
  • Added "lock keys" functions that can optionally generate a notification dialog when pressing CapsLock or NumLock, showing the ON/OFF state of the lock key LED. (Requires custom remaps in a general keymap to use the functions.)
  • Made notifications show up with the name "Toshy" instead of "notify-send".

Toshy v24.07.1

Changes

Better fixes for the CentOS end-of-life repo update issue were implemented in an external shell script that can be run prior to attempting to install Toshy on CentOS 7 or CentOS Stream 8. To avoid all the mirror errors, run this before running the main Toshy setup script:

./prep_centos_before_setup.sh

On CentOS 7 this shell script will also install the SCL repos, fix the SCL repo files that get installed (again), and then install Python 3 and DNF (and clean the DNF cache to make sure it's not using the defunct mirrorlist.centos.org or mirror.centos.org URLs). All in preparation for being able to run the main Toshy setup script.

The script can probably be used entirely independently of Toshy, as a way to fix the repo files of a CentOS 7 or CentOS Stream 8 system installed from old ISOs. (I don't even know if there will be a version of the CentOS 7 ISO anywhere that won't have the defunct URLs in the repo files that get initially installed, so this may come in handy.)

Notes on these CentOS distros on the "Supported Linux distros" Wiki page were updated with admonitions/alerts/callouts reminding the user to run the prep script. A note about this is also part of the "How to Install" section of the README now.

Lots of housekeeping was done in the setup script, and in the README and Wiki.

A new Wiki page was made for a more detailed exploration of how to "Toshify" a Linux app by making a keymap that applies remaps to it. The brief section in the README now links to the Wiki article.

Fixed the tray indicator app to work again on distros like Void with no systemctl command available due to lack of systemd.

Enhanced some logging during setup, and implemented a more robust check for the terminal supporting color codes.
