loop timeout events #150

Closed UltraBlackLinux closed 1 year ago

UltraBlackLinux commented 1 year ago

I'd really appreciate an option to loop timeout events. Currently I have to do things like swayidle timeout 10 script.sh resume script2.sh timeout 20 script.sh resume script2.sh which is really clumsy and annoying. could you improve this?

Moved to swayidle.

You'd have to specify a use-case that would be reasonable for swayidle to cover.

You can just have one timeout that start a process that loops indefinitely on its own, and a resume that kills it.

Oh I'm so sorry. I mixed up the repos

That actually seems like a pretty reasonable solution. I didn't even think of that, thanks!
