Koma configures monitors declaratively through koma.monitor({...}) (supporting connector names, EDID matching, 2D coordinates, fractional scaling, transforms, VRR, and MacBook safe_area cutouts) and configures XKB/libinput hardware through koma.input({...}) and koma.device({...}).
Monitor Configuration (koma.monitor)
You can match monitors by Wayland connector name (output = "DP-1") or portable hardware EDID identity (match = { make = "...", model = "...", serial = "..." }):
-- Primary laptop panel with DPI-aware auto scale and MacBook notch safe area
koma.monitor({
output = "eDP-1",
mode = "2560x1600@120.000",
position = { x = 0, y = 0 },
scale = "auto",
transform = "normal",
vrr = "on_demand", -- false | true | "on_demand"
max_bpc = 10,
safe_area = { top = 0, bottom = 0, left = 0, right = 0 },
allow_non_desktop = false,
focus_at_startup = true,
backdrop_color = "#111216",
})
-- External 4K display matched by EDID placed to the right in 2D space
koma.monitor({
match = { make = "Dell Inc.", model = "DELL U2723QE" },
mode = "3840x2160@60.000",
position = { x = 1600, y = -200 },
scale = 1.5,
transform = "normal", -- "normal" | "90" | "180" | "270" | "flipped" | "flipped-90" ...
})
Multi-Monitor Keybindings & Runtime Protocol
- Directional Monitor Navigation: Bind
koma.act.monitor.focus_left(),focus_right(),focus_up(),focus_down(), andkoma.act.window.move_to_monitor_left/right/up/down()(orkoma.act.monitor.focus("DP-1")). wlr-output-management(zwlr_output_manager_v1): Graphical tools such askanshiandwdisplayscan inspect heads, test modes/scales/positions (test), and apply changes (apply) dynamically.- Per-Monitor
wp-fractional-scale-v1+wp-viewporter: Clients receive exact fractional scale factors (scale = 1.25,1.5,1.6, or"auto") without blurry X11-style integer up-scaling.
