Add single-output-sway helper script
For sway 1.7, this disables all but one output on connect, then restores everything on disconnect. For sway 1.8 and later, creates a virtual HEADLESS output, disables all others, then restores everything on disconnect. Signed-off-by: Jim Ramsay <[email protected]>

# Example Scripts | ||
|
||
The scripts here are examples of how you can automate interesting things with the wayvncctl IPC events. | ||
|
||
## event-watcher | ||
|
||
This is a pretty simple example that just demonstrates how to tie the | ||
`wayvncctl event-receive` event loop into a bash script. It logs when clients | ||
connect and disconnect. | ||
|
||
## single-output-sway | ||
|
||
This is more purposeful, and implements an idea for multi-output wayland | ||
servers, collapsing all outputs down to one when the first client connects, and | ||
restoring the configuration when the last client exits. | ||
|
||
The mechanism used to collapse the outputs depends on the version of sway installed: | ||
|
||
- For sway-1.7 and earlier, the script just temporarily disables all outputs | ||
except the one being captured. This moves all workspaces to the single | ||
remaining output. | ||
|
||
- For sway-1.8 and later, the script creates a temporary virtual output called | ||
`HEADLESS-1' and then disables all physical outputs, which moves all | ||
workspaces to the virtual output. On disconnect, all original physical | ||
outputs are re-enabled, and the virtual output is destroyed. |
