Notfication example with Dunst. #223

Open rafamadriz opened 3 years ago

rafamadriz commented 3 years ago

Hey, thanks for this amazing work. It's been the only telegram client for terminal that actually works for me. I would like to set notifications using dunst but I haven't figured out what should be the command. Is it possible that you can provide an example command just like with terminal-notifier but using dunst instead ? Don't know if it has anything to do but I'm using kitty as my terminal. If you don't know anything about dunst I understand.

A very basic one i just created would be using notify-send 

NOTIFY_CMD = "notify-send {title} {msg}"

We can do more complex things such as replying to a msg/or focusing tg through dunst (using dunstify. The relevant commands can found at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dunst#Actions but would probably require the dev to help us with the tg hooks to call.

Thank you very much, that's good enough for me. Although I'm gonna leave this open in case anyone can provide a more advance cmd with the functionality that @vivekkalyan said (unless the owner of this repo wants to close of course).

Kind of unrelated but is it possible for notifications to appear even when tg isn't open in a terminal?

paul-nameless commented 3 years ago

No, but I thing you can run it in background.

I'd be interested in learning how, excuse my ignorance if this is kind of an obvious question but I am quite new to hand configuring stuff for the most part and linux as a whole.

I mean you can run it in the tmux and maybe pipe the tty somewhere and make it work as daemon but I haven't tried it so can't help.
