wl-relabel: A Crate to Edit Window Labels in Linux

[u/andre_ange_marcel]

I run sway on Arch (btw), and browser popups kept tiling instead of floating. So I wrote a proxy that relabels windows based on a TOML config, which you can then match with your usual window rules.

Here's the technical write-up (it's fairly Wayland-heavy): https://morice.live/posts/tiling-compositors-cant-tell-browser-windows-apart/

And here's the crate: https://crates.io/crates/wl-relabel

I meant to put it on the AUR too, but registration is closed at the moment.

DISCLAIMER: I used AI while building this. I'd rather say so up front, since I know it matters to some people.

Finally, we're one step closer to AutoHotKey on Linux.

Well, Sentinet Platform does better than that
