# kanshi
kanshi allows you to define output profiles that are automatically enabled and
disabled on hotplug. For instance, this can be used to turn a laptop's internal
screen off when docked.
This is a Wayland equivalent for tools like [autorandr]. kanshi can be used on
Wayland compositors supporting the wlr-output-management protocol.

## Building
Dependencies:
* wayland-client
* scdoc (optional, for man pages)
```sh
meson build
ninja -C build
```
## Usage
```sh
mkdir -p ~/.config/kanshi && touch ~/.config/kanshi/config
kanshi
```
## Configuration file
Each output profile is delimited by brackets. It contains several `output`
directives (whose syntax is similar to `sway-output(5)`). A profile will be
enabled if all of the listed outputs are connected.
```
profile {
output LVDS-1 disable
output "Some Company ASDF 4242" mode 1600x900 position 0,0
}
profile {
output LVDS-1 enable scale 2
}
```
