|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since Quickshell 0.1, you can now choose whether to install by tracking the master branch,
|
||||||
|
or install by latest release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that you may want to install some additional packages (names vary by distro):
|
||||||
|
- `qtsvg`: support for SVG image loading (bundled with most packages)
|
||||||
|
- `qtimageformats`: support for WEBP images as well as some less common ones
|
||||||
|
- `qtmultimedia`: support for playing videos, audio, etc
|
||||||
|
- `qt5compat`: extra visual effects, notably gaussian blur. @@QtQuick.Effects.MultiEffect is usually preferable
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Nix
|
||||||
|
Release versions of Quickshell are available from Nixpkgs under the `quickshell` package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Quickshell repo also has an embedded flake which can be used from either mirror:
|
||||||
|
- `git+https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell`
|
||||||
|
- `github:quickshell-mirror/quickshell`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> [!NOTE]
|
||||||
|
> You can use `?ref=` to specify a tag if you want a tagged release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
inputs = {
|
||||||
|
nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
quickshell = {
|
||||||
|
# add ?ref=<tag> to track a tag
|
||||||
|
url = "git+https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell";
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# THIS IS IMPORTANT
|
||||||
|
# Mismatched system dependencies will lead to crashes and other issues.
|
||||||
|
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The package is available as `quickshell.packages.<system>.default`, which can be added to
|
||||||
|
your `environment.systemPackages`, `home.packages` if you use home-manager, or a devshell.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using the flake, additional QML packages can be added to Quickshell's environment using
|
||||||
|
`<package>.withModules [ <extra modules> ]`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Arch
|
||||||
|
Quickshell is available from the aur under:
|
||||||
|
- the [quickshell](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickshell) package for the latest release
|
||||||
|
- the [quickshell-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickshell-git) package that tracks the master branch
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> [!WARNING]
|
||||||
|
> When using an AUR package, Quickshell may break whenever Qt is updated.
|
||||||
|
> The AUR gives us no way to actually fix this, but Quickshell will attempt to
|
||||||
|
> warn you if it detects a breakage when updating. If warned of a breakage,
|
||||||
|
> please reinstall the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install using the command below:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
yay -S quickshell
|
||||||
|
# or
|
||||||
|
yay -S quickshell-git
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
(or your AUR helper of choice)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Fedora
|
||||||
|
Quickshell is available from the [errornointernet/quickshell] COPR, as either:
|
||||||
|
- `quickshell` that tracks the latest release
|
||||||
|
- `quickshell-git` that tracks the master branch
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[errornointernet/quickshell]: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/errornointernet/quickshell
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install using the command below:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
sudo dnf copr enable errornointernet/quickshell
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
sudo dnf install quickshell
|
||||||
|
# or
|
||||||
|
sudo dnf install quickshell-git
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Guix
|
||||||
|
Release versions of Quickshell are available from the standard Guix repository
|
||||||
|
as `quickshell` from the `(gnu packages wm)` module.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install using the command below:
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
guix install quickshell
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also add `quickshell` to your Guix system configuration or Guix Home configuration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the git version, Quickshell's source repository works as a channel.
|
||||||
|
Add the following to your channel list:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```scheme
|
||||||
|
(channel
|
||||||
|
(name quickshell)
|
||||||
|
(url "https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell")
|
||||||
|
(branch "master"))
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, since the package definition is located in the source repository, it cannot be used
|
||||||
|
as a channel out of the box. You can clone the repository and use `guix shell -f quickshell.scm`
|
||||||
|
to use the git version of the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Manual build
|
||||||
|
See [BUILD.md](https://git.outfoxxed.me/quickshell/quickshell/src/branch/master/BUILD.md)
|
||||||
|
for build instructions and configurations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Editor configuration
|
||||||
|
If you want to write your own configuration, installing a QML grammar and the LSP is recommended.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Read the [Usage Guide](@docs/guide) after configuring your editor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> [!NOTE]
|
||||||
|
> Qmlls versions prior to 6.8.2 do not require `-E`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Emacs
|
||||||
|
Install the [yuja/tree-sitter-qml](https://github.com/yuja/tree-sitter-qmljs) tree-sitter grammar,
|
||||||
|
and the [xhcoding/qml-ts-mode](https://github.com/xhcoding/qml-ts-mode) mode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Both are packaged for nix via [outfoxxed/nix-qml-support](https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/nix-qml-support).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Either `lsp-mode` or `eglot` should be usable for LSP ([caveats below](#language-server)).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The author's personal emacs config uses `lsp-mode` and `qml-ts-mode` as follows:
|
||||||
|
```elisp
|
||||||
|
(use-package qml-ts-mode
|
||||||
|
:after lsp-mode
|
||||||
|
:config
|
||||||
|
(add-to-list 'lsp-language-id-configuration '(qml-ts-mode . "qml-ts"))
|
||||||
|
(lsp-register-client
|
||||||
|
(make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection '("qmlls"))
|
||||||
|
:activation-fn (lsp-activate-on "qml-ts")
|
||||||
|
:server-id 'qmlls))
|
||||||
|
(add-hook 'qml-ts-mode-hook (lambda ()
|
||||||
|
(setq-local electric-indent-chars '(?\n ?\( ?\) ?{ ?} ?\[ ?\] ?\; ?,))
|
||||||
|
(lsp-deferred))))
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Neovim
|
||||||
|
Neovim has built-in syntax highlighting for QML, however tree-sitter highlighting
|
||||||
|
may work better than the built-in highlighting. You can install the grammar
|
||||||
|
using `:TSInstall qmljs`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use the language server ([caveats below](#language-server)),
|
||||||
|
install [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig)
|
||||||
|
and the following snippet to your configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```lua
|
||||||
|
require("lspconfig").qmlls.setup {}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Helix
|
||||||
|
Helix has built-in syntax highlighting and qmlls support.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Vscode
|
||||||
|
1. Install the [Official QML Support extension]
|
||||||
|
2. Enable the `qt-qml.qmlls.useQmlImportPathEnvVar` setting.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Official QML Support extension]: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TheQtCompany.qt-qml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Language Server
|
||||||
|
The QML language has an associated language server,
|
||||||
|
[qmlls](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtqml-tooling-qmlls.html).
|
||||||
|
We recommend using it, as it will catch a lot of bad practice that may
|
||||||
|
make your configuration harder to maintain later.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable language server support for your shell, create an empty file named `.qmlls.ini`
|
||||||
|
next to the `shell.qml` file. Quickshell will replace it with a managed qmlls configuration.
|
||||||
|
You should gitignore the `.qmlls.ini` file, as its content depends on information that
|
||||||
|
is different on every computer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are aware of the following issues:
|
||||||
|
- Qmlls does not work well when a file is not correctly structured.
|
||||||
|
This means that completions and lints won't work unless braces are closed
|
||||||
|
correctly and such.
|
||||||
|
- The LSP cannot provide any documentation for Quickshell types.
|
||||||
|
- `PanelWindow` in particular cannot be resolved.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keeping in mind the above caveats, qmlls should be able to guide you towards a
|
||||||
|
more correct code should you choose to use it.
|
||||||
|
