66f3155f0c Label the keyboard widget with the xkb language code (#6699)
* Label the keyboard widget with the xkb language code

The label was the first word of the layout description cut to three
characters, so a US layout read ENG and a Portuguese one read POR.

xkb already pairs every layout and variant with a short language code,
which is the code GNOME shows in its own indicator. Read that table once
at startup from xkbcli list and key it by description, which is what
hyprctl reports as the active keymap, so the same layouts read EN and PT.

The code is a language rather than a country, so it stays sensible for
the layouts named after neither: Esperanto is EO, Arabic is AR, and Latin
American Spanish is ES. Layouts missing from the table keep the old
truncated description.

* Read the exotic xkb rulesets for the keyboard label

xkbcli list leaves out the exotic rulesets, so layouts like trans were
missing from the table and fell back to the truncated description: the
IPA layout read INT rather than IPA. Those layouts ship in the same
xkeyboard-config package and set just as well, so read them too.

* Keep the keyboard label to three characters

The brief was used verbatim while the fallback was truncated, but not
every brief is two or three characters: Burmese (Zawgyi) is my-zwg and
Shan (Zawgyi) is shn-zwg. Selecting either widened the widget past its
neighbours on the bar. Drop the script suffix and cap the brief the same
way the fallback is capped, so those read MY and SHN.

* Stop an xkb brief carrying past its own block

The brief was only cleared once a description consumed it, so a block
printing a brief without one would hand its code to the next block's
description and label it wrongly rather than falling back. Nothing in
the current xkb data does that, and the option groups were skipped only
because the last layout happened to consume its brief first. Clear the
brief when a line starts a new block so the pairing is explicit, and
cover the option list the 2-space match is what keeps out.

* Fall back when a layout description names a built-in

A custom xkb group called constructor or toString reached an inherited
member of the lookup rather than a brief, and splitting it threw a
TypeError that took the whole label binding down instead of falling back
to the truncated description. Take the lookup only when it returns a
string.

First-party plugins

These plugins ship with Omarchy and are discovered by the shell at startup. They use the same manifest.json contract as third-party plugins; the only difference is that the shell flags them with __isFirstParty: true. First-party non-bar plugins are enabled unless listed in disabledPlugins[]; omarchy.bar is the default bar option and becomes inactive only while another kind: "bar" plugin is selected. Services and keep-loaded panels are mounted at startup; other panels, overlays, and menus are loaded on demand.

User-installed plugins live alongside these conceptually but on disk under ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<plugin-id>/ rather than in this directory.

First-party bar-only widgets also carry manifests next to their QML files, e.g. bar/widgets/Workspaces.manifest.json. Rich popup widgets live in their own plugin directories, each with its own manifest.json.

Bar

The built-in status bar and default full-bar option. Layout lives in the top-level bar: subtree of ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json (with the shell providing config/omarchy/shell.json when the user has no file). See bar/README.md for the widget catalogue and customization schema.

Image picker

Fullscreen image-grid selector overlay. Used by omarchy-menu-images (wallpaper picker) and omarchy-theme-switcher (theme picker) and any other caller that wants to present a directory of images with previews.

Two ways to drive it:

  • Shell-level summon: omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.image-picker '<jsonPayload>'. The payload can carry imageDirs, imageRows, selectedImage, selectionFile, doneFile, showLabels, filterable. Best for in-shell callers that already speak JSON.
  • Direct IPC target: omarchy-shell image-selector open <imageDirs> <imageRowsB64> <selectedImage> <selectionFile> <doneFile> <showLabels> <filterable>. Positional args; imageRowsB64 is base64-encoded so embedded newlines / tabs survive the bash argv handoff. This is what omarchy-menu-images uses. Colors come from the central shell theme singleton; there is no per-call override surface.

The selection round-trip remains file-based: callers create a selection_file and done_file (both mktemp), pass the paths, and poll done_file for existence. The plugin writes the chosen path into selection_file and touches done_file when it's done. cancel IPC clears it without writing a selection.

The plugin has keepLoaded: true so the layer-shell window survives between summons within a single shell session.

Lock screen

Session-lock surface using Quickshell's native WlSessionLock and two separate PAM services: omarchy-lock-password for password auth and, only when fingerprints are enrolled, omarchy-lock-fingerprint for fingerprint auth. It mirrors the previous lock screen field dimensions, colors, blurred wallpaper, placeholder, and Hyprland-driven corners.

Polkit agent

Theme-aware authentication dialog for privileged actions. It uses Quickshell's native Quickshell.Services.Polkit.PolkitAgent backend and runs inside the long-lived omarchy-shell process, replacing the old polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 autostart.

Omarchy menu

Quickshell-powered Omarchy command menu. The menu UI lives in menu/Menu.qml as a first-party menu plugin and is summoned through the shell (omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.menu ...), so it shares the long-running omarchy-shell process instead of starting a second Quickshell instance.

The menu definition lives outside the shell host code:

  • defaults: default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc
  • user extensions: ~/.config/omarchy/extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc

The shell parses both JSONC files at startup (with watchChanges: true so edits take effect without a restart), evaluates when: / checked: bash expressions in a single batched subprocess, and executes the selected action: string directly via Quickshell.execDetached. The long-running shell process keeps the parsed menu in memory, so the keybind → IPC → visible path costs ~30ms cold.
