waysip -d

Pick a single point:

waysip -p

Print information about the focused screen:

waysip -i

Select a display output:

waysip -o

Combined dimensions / output mode (single click selects an output; drag selects a region):

waysip -d -o

Restrict selection to predefined boxes (pipe one box per line: x,y WIDTHxHEIGHT):

printf '100,200 400x300\n' | waysip -r

Custom output format (see % placeholders in --help; default is %x,%y %wx%h\n):

waysip -d -f '%x %y %w %h\n'

Shell completions:

waysip --completions fish | source
waysip --completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_waysip
waysip --completions bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/waysip
waysip --completions elvish >> ~/.config/elvish/rc.elv
waysip --completions pwsh >> $PROFILE
waysip --completions nushell | save -f ~/.config/nushell/completions/waysip.nu

Optional features

All features are enabled in the default build. To reduce binary size or compile-time dependencies, features can be selectively disabled:

cargo build --no-default-features --features logger
cargo build --no-default-features --features completions
cargo build --no-default-features --features logger,completions

| Feature | What it adds | Extra dependency | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | logger | --log-level flag, tracing output to stderr | tracing-subscriber | | completions | --completions <SHELL>, generate shell completion scripts | clap_complete (+ nushell) |
