   cd power-menu

2. Build the project:

3. Move the binary to a directory in your $PATH:

   sudo mv power-menu /usr/local/bin/

Usage

Once the program is compiled and moved to your $PATH, you can launch it using a terminal emulator like st, alacritty, or kitty.

Keybinding in Sway

To launch the power menu from your Sway configuration:

1. Open your Sway configuration file:

   nano ~/.config/sway/config

2. Add the following keybinding to run the power menu with Mod+P:

   bindsym $mod+p exec alacritty -e power-menu

   Replace alacritty with the terminal of your choice, such as st, kitty, etc.

3. Reload the Sway configuration:

   swaymsg reload

Now, when you press Mod+P, your power menu will appear in a terminal.

Commands:

• Lock: Locks the screen using swaylock with your specified wallpaper.
• Power Off: Shuts down the system.
• Reboot: Reboots the system.

Customization

• You can customize the lock screen wallpaper by modifying the swaylock command in the power-menu code:

  cmd = exec.Command("swaylock", "-f", "-i", "/path/to/your/wallpaper.png")

  Replace /path/to/your/wallpaper.png with your desired wallpaper.
