This is how I do it under Sway (Wayland): #!/bin/bash swaymsg create_output OUTPUT=$(swaymsg -r -t get_outputs | jq '.[].name' | grep HEADLESS | tr -d '"') #

  Ooh, creating a headless display and then wl-mirroring it is incredibly smart! Have been looking for something like this!

  I just realized formatting is a bit broken. :( Fixed: #!/bin/bash swaymsg create_output OUTPUT=$(swaymsg -r -t get_outputs | jq '.[].name' | grep HEADLESS | tr -d '"') # No need to reduce res, it defualts to 1080p # swaymsg output "$OUTPUT" resolution 1280x720 wl-mirror "$OUTPUT" swaymsg output "$OUTPUT" unplug

    You can do code blocks on HN by prefixing your lines with four spaces. #!/bin/bash swaymsg create_output OUTPUT=$(swaymsg -r -t get_outputs | jq '.[].name' | grep HEADLESS | tr -d '"') # No need to reduce res, it defualts to 1080p # swaymsg output "$OUTPUT" resolution 1280x720 wl-mirror "$OUTPUT" swaymsg output "$OUTPUT" unplug

      Four spaces!? Absurd! Think of how many bytes you're wasting! In just your last code block your flooded the internet with 28 needless bytes!?!?!?!! If this keeps up soon we'll all just be downloading whitespace. Only two spaces are needed: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc function trim { sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//' } /end sarcasm

        You just cut my tedious space-bar-smashing time in half, thank you!

      Oh, thanks! I remembered there was something, skimmed through https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc and completely missed it.

      HN needs a dedicated pastebin (remember those?)

        What "remember"? I'm in multiple Matrix channels right now that tell people to use them.
