glance
A file clipboard for Wayland. Watches directories for new files and pops up a widget in Waybar. Click to open a dropdown with actions: drag and drop, open, edit, or copy the path. Written in Rust.
Install
# from crates.io cargo install wayglance # from source git clone https://github.com/areofyl/glance cd glance cargo build --release cp target/release/glance ~/.local/bin/ # then run the setup wizard glance init
The setup wizard creates the config, adds the Waybar module, appends CSS, and sets up autostart. Restart Waybar and you're done.
Commands
glance init # setup everything glance watch # run the file watcher glance status # JSON for waybar glance menu # dropdown with actions glance copy # copy file path glance drag # drag and drop overlay glance scroll up|down # navigate file history
Config
Optional config at ~/.config/glance/config.toml. Set which directories to watch, auto-dismiss timeout, which buttons show up in the dropdown, drag command (builtin GTK4 or something like ripdrag for XWayland browsers), and the menu appearance.
