SYNOPSIS
wl-present [OPTIONS] <COMMAND> [args...]
DESCRIPTION
wl-present is an wrapper around wl-mirror(1) that uses its streaming mode together with pipectl(1) to
interactively control what is being captured.
The subcommands of wl-present are intended to be mapped to keyboard shortcuts in your wayland compositor
for easy access.
COMMANDS
help
Show help message and exit.
mirror [OUTPUT] [OPTIONS]

region to capture. If any additional OPTIONS are specified, they are passed on to wl-mirror.
set-output [OUTPUT]
Set the captured output of a running wl-present session. If no output is given, slurp(1) is used to
select the output to capture.
set-region [REGION] unset-region
Set the captured region of a running wl-present session. If no region is given, slurp(1) us used to
select a region to capture.
set-scaling [SCALING]
Set the scaling mode of a running wl-present session. If no region is given, dmenu(1) (or a
compatible replacement) is used to select a scaling mode.

fullscreen unfullscreen
Set the fullscreen state of a running wl-present session.
fullscreen-output [OUTPUT] no-fullscreen-output
Set the fullscreen target output of a running wl-present session.
custom [OPTIONS]
Send custom options to a running wl-present session. If no options are given, dmenu(1) (or a
compatible replacement) are used to select an option.
OPTIONS
-n, --name

run at the same time.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
WL_PRESENT_DMENU
Overrides the used dmenu implementation. When set, this command is used to select options instead of
the default. When unset, wl-present attempts to use wofi(1), wmenu(1), fuzzel(1), rofi(1), and
dmenu(1), in this order.
Example: WL_PRESENT_DMENU="rofi -dmenu -p present"
WL_PRESENT_PIPECTL
Overrides the used pipectl implementation. When set, this command is used to pipe options to wl-
mirror(1) instead of the default. When unset, wl-present attempts to use pipectl(1) or an included
pipectl shim written in bash if pipectl is not available.
WL_PRESENT_SLURP
Overrides the used slurp implementation and options. When set, this command is used to select regions
and outputs instead of the default. When unset, wl-present attempts to use slurp(1) without any
additional options.
Example: WL_PRESENT_SLURP="slurp -c #859900 -w 2"
WL_PRESENT_PIPE_NAME
Overrides the default pipe name (default is wl-present). This is equivalent to the --name option
above.
Example: WL_PRESENT_PIPE_NAME=monitor2 wl-present mirror HDMI-A-1
