How to add a a battery module in waybar? Thanks!

Hi,

The structure I have is based on some custom modules that you import on a custom bar, and then you import that bar into the config.jsonc from Waybar. This is to allow some modularity instead of having everything in the same file, that sometimes can be a mess to work with.

Having that in mind, open the config.jsonc inside the config folder of Waybar. You can see some objects where each one imports a bar. If you go into the specific one you want to use, you will see some imports of the custom modules we have defined.

I added a new battery module. To import it do the same as the others by specifying the path of the module file and then down in the array of modules, add the battery module definition to one of those (left, center or right).

// Module import
"include": [
     "~/.config/waybar/modules/custom-cava.jsonc",
]

...

// Module definition
"modules-right": [
    "battery",
]

Now restart Waybar (killall waybar; waybar) and you should have the battery module ready to go.

Sorry if I explained to much but I wanted you to understand everything :)

It's an issue with pyperland workspaces, it's obvious that it has to do with scratchpads, but since I hardly use them, I'm not used to it, too much for me but no less useful! LOL, thank you very much for your help, seriously, I can imagine how much work you put into these dotfiles!

Okay nice :). Yeah it was like 1 year of work but it was worth it haha. I'll still keep adding things here and there, but as of know, im just gonna mantain it and make sure is usable in most of the systems.
It's great that i could be of any help, if you have any other doubt or problem, here i am :D
Have a nice weekend!

The truth is that yes, it was very worth it, aesthetically it is pleasant, and the animations are going really well, the VS Codium configuration is really good too, and the NVIM configuration uff, no way!

I appreciate all the help, I'll let you know if I need to ask you a few more things.

Where should I add the aliases in the fish configuration? Sorry for the newbie question :D

[Matt-FTW]

Its fine haha. I'd recommend you to create functions instead of aliases, but you can do aliases too. Here's an article that explains it very well. As the article said, be sure to not put them inside the config.fish.

Apart from that, if you wanna create some functions out of an alias you can do it like this:

alias -s <alias-name>='<command>'

It will create a function with the alias name and the command inside the functions folder.

If you want to create some aliases instead, I'd recommend to create an aliases.fish file inside the fish dir and to put the aliases there. After that, make sure to import that file in the config.fish like this:

source ~/.config/fish/aliases.fish

I have some of that explained over here. There are docs for some of the most important configs and apps inside the repo so the next time be sure to check those first.

by the way, for the sake of beign organized, can you create another discussion next time if it doesnt correlate to this one? thanks :)
