slurp chooser can be confusing #121

Open emersion opened 3 years ago

emersion commented 3 years ago

With a single output, the slurp chooser can be confusing. The cursor just turns into a crosshair.

Wasn't there the idea to send a notification when xdpw_wlr_output_chooser is called?

danshick commented 3 years ago

That assumes the user runs a notification daemon.

I had always envisioned some text overlay on the chooser explaining what's going on.

Right now it is also confusing because it allows you to select a region, but xdpw can only share whole displays AFAIK.
