• foot-terminal: creates a new foot window
  • alias:terminal
• foot-terminal-popup: creates a new foot window as popup (see below)
  • aliases:terminal-popup,popup
• foot-terminal-panel: creates a new foot window as panel (see below)
  • aliases:terminal-panel,panel

• foot_normal_cmd (string): shell command to run forfoot-terminal

  • default:footclient

• foot_popup_cmd (string): shell command to run forfoot-terminal-popup

  • default:footclient

• foot_panel_cmd (string): shell command to run forfoot-terminal-panel

  • default:footclient

• foot_normal_flags (str-list): additional foot flags forfoot_normal_cmd

  • default:''

• foot_popup_flags (str-list): additional foot flags forfoot_popup_cmd

  • default:'--app-id=popup'

• foot_panel_flags (str-list): additional foot flags forfoot_panel_cmd

  • default:'--app-id=panel'

The default configuration assumes that foot is running inserver mode and spawns new windows by runningfootclient.

Defaultterminal-popup andterminal-panel commands add specificapp-id'sto the foot window (popup andpanel), which can be used by a window managerfor further adjustments.

For example, inSway the following configuration can work:

exec foot --server# autostart foot serverfor_window [app_id="popup"] floatingenable# float popup windows

It's possible to override the default options to use custom commands and/orflags for spawning new windows.

To use a new foot process instead of a server client, add the following in yourkakrc:

set-optionglobal foot_normal_cmd'foot'set-optionglobal foot_popup_cmd'foot'set-optionglobal foot_panel_cmd'foot'

To pass custom flags to foot popup windows:

set-optionglobal foot_popup_flags'--app-id=popup''-o colors.alpha=0.8'# use transparent background for popup

To use a completely different command:

set-optionglobal foot_panel_cmd'sway-panel-term'# use custom command for panelset-option -removeglobal foot_panel_flags# remove default flags
