Wayland compositors with 'zwlr_foreign_toplevel_manager_v1' (wlroots protocol)

[RedBearAK]

This is an issue for discussing and tracking supported Wayland compositors that can use the so-colled wlroots window context method in the keymapper, which looks for the zwlr_foreign_toplevel_manager_v1 interface to bind and watch for events on new toplevel window handles, app_id and title changes, and state changes (e.g., activated) to determine the focused app window context.

The zwlr_foreign_toplevel_manager_v1 interface is found in the wlr_foreign_toplevel_management_unstable_v1 Wayland protocol specification.

Related, but needing a separate method with a different namespace and protocol specification:

• The new Pop!_OS COSMIC desktop environment

Compositors currently known to work with the wlroots window context method:

• Hyprland
• Niri (Smithay-based)
• Qtile (uses pywlroots)
• sway
