# Jay TOML Config This document describes the format of the TOML configuration of the Jay compositor. A JSON Schema for this format is available at [spec.generated.json](./spec.generated.json). You can include this file in your editor to get auto completion. Start at the top-level type: [Config](#types-config). ## Types ### `AccelProfile` The acceleration profile to apply to an input device. See the libinput documentation for more details. Values of this type should be strings. The string should have one of the following values: - `Flat`: The flat profile. - `Adaptive`: The adaptive profile. ### `Action` An `Action` is an action performed by the compositor. - Example: ```toml [shortcuts] alt-q = "quit" ``` Values of this type should have one of the following forms: #### A string The value should be the name of a `simple` action. See the description of that variant for more details. - Example: ```toml [shortcuts] alt-q = "quit" ``` The value should be a [SimpleActionName](#types-SimpleActionName). #### A string The value should be the name of a `named` action, prefixed with the `$` character.

Using the `release` modifier causes the shortcut to trigger when the key is released. `KEYSYM` should be the name of a keysym. The authorative location for these names is [1] with the `XKB_KEY_` prefix removed. The keysym should be the unmodified keysym. E.g. `shift-q` not `shift-Q`.

The table has the following fields: - `mode` (optional): The VRR mode. The value of this field should be a [VrrMode](#types-VrrMode). - `cursor-hz` (optional): The VRR cursor refresh rate. Limits the rate at which cursors are updated on screen when VRR is active.

The string should have one of the following values: - `default`: The default mode. Currently this means that windows are rendered at the lowest scale and then upscaled if necessary. - `downscaled`: Windows are rendered at the highest integer scale and then downscaled. This has significant performance implications unless the window is running on the output with the highest scale and that scale is an integer scale. For example, on a 3840x2160 output with a 1.5 scale, a fullscreen window will be rendered at 3840x2160 * 2 / 1.5 = 5120x2880 pixels and then downscaled to 3840x2160. This overhead gets worse the lower the scale of the output is. Additionally, this mode requires the X window to scale its contents itself. In the example above, you might achieve this by setting the environment variable `GDK_SCALE=2`. ### `Xwayland` Describes Xwayland settings. - Example: ```toml xwayland = { scaling-mode = "downscaled" } ``` Values of this type should be tables. The table has the following fields: - `scaling-mode` (optional): The scaling mode of X windows. The value of this field should be a [XScalingMode](#types-XScalingMode).
