A fuzzel frontend to access mako notifications with a keyboard under sway

mako_center.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

#####################################################################################
# A keyboard-centric mako notification control script
#
# Requirements:
#    jq - https://jqlang.github.io/jq/
#    fuzzel - https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel
#
# Use:
#    * Change fuzzel monitor output to your preference (everywhere you see HDMI-A-3)
#    * Sway - bind a key to this script e.g.
#         bindsym $mod+Alt+n exec --no-startup-id "~/.config/mako/mako_center.sh"
#    * Thunderbird - there is Thunderbird specific logic here to get around 
#         it's desire to close notifications too quickly and to use different text for the
#         notification title.  In your mako config add the
#         following to prevent Tunderbird notifications from timing out.
#
#       [app-name=Thunderbird]
#       default-timeout=0
