Description
kanshi is a Wayland daemon that automatically configures outputs.
kanshi is configured with a list of output profiles. Each profile contains a set of outputs. A profile will be automatically activated if all specified outputs are currently connected. A profile contains configuration for each output.
If kanshi receives a SIGHUP signal, it will reread its config file.
Configuration
kanshi reads its configuration from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kanshi/config. If unset, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config.
An error is raised if no configuration file is found.
For information on the configuration file format, see kanshi(5).
