First Run and Keybinds

Wayscriber has two run modes:

One shot mode

Start the overlay immediately and exit when you are done.

wayscriber --active

Good for quick callouts or testing.

Daemon mode

Run in the background and toggle the overlay when needed.

wayscriber --daemon

If you have the user service installed:

systemctl --user enable --now wayscriber.service

Add a keybind that sends SIGUSR1 to toggle the overlay:

bind = SUPER, D, exec, pkill -SIGUSR1 wayscriber

Default keys you should know

• F1 opens help (F10 is the alternative)
• F2 or F9 toggles the toolbars
• F11 opens the configurator (if installed)
• F4 toggles the status bar (F12 is the alternative)
• Escape or Ctrl+Q exits the overlay
