Swaynag requires the mouse

[samerickson]

It would be really nice to have the ability to use swaynag without forcing the user to use a mouse.

I.E. pressing Enter results in closing the message, and pressing left and right arrows would allow for toggling through available options.

you can achieve this by replacing your use of swaynag with dmenu, rofi etc.
what are you actually trying to achieve with swaynag?

I use zenity to produce messages, and they're accessible with both a keyboard and mouse. I've even replaced that "do you really want to exit?" message with zenity. However, swaynag is still used to inform me of errors in config files, and I have to use the mouse to see exactly what the errors are.

Thanks for the info @keithbowes

I've written a little wrapper script which allows for interacting with swaynag with the keyboard: https://github.com/b0o/swaynagmode

@samerickson I think this issue should be re-opened, because it still isn't fixed.

FYI, the same request was recently rejected by i3: i3/i3#4248

I have been using swaynagmode as a workaround
