- Installer: add python-pillow (map tile stitching) and networkmanager (the Network
quad's nmcli backend) so a fresh install has a working map and network panel.
- Super+D binds explicitly to `menu-toggle.sh toggle top` so it pops in from the top.
The astal-menu config (incl. new backend/nm.py, ui/statsbar.py, etc.) already ships
via the config-updater CONFIGS list and is re-synced by sysupdate.sh; settings live
in XDG_STATE_HOME so updates don't wipe them.

A touch-friendly GTK4 popup control centre (Python + PyGObject, wlr-layer-shell)
launched from the EWW bar or Super+D. Replaces nwg-dock and nwg-drawer.
Layout: a floating, drawn-bordered panel (anchored top-centre so it never blocks
the rest of the screen) with a 2x2 quad grid over a full-width app drawer, plus a
top taskbar. Any quad expands over the others; the drawer expands to the bottom.
Modules:
- Location — static OSM map (backend/staticmap.py) on IP geolocation
(libshumate won't paint tiles in this env; shumate-demo is blank too)
- Weather — wttr.in ANSI art rendered via an SGR parser into a TextView
- Bluetooth — AstalBluetooth: discovery/connect/disconnect + local history
- Network — AstalNetwork wifi + nmcli/ip/ss for IP, DHCP/manual, routes, ports,
public IP; per-feature toggles
- Taskbar — open windows from hyprctl, grouped by app with pop-out per instance
- Favorites — pinned apps (right-click/long-press to pin) atop the app drawer
Notes:
- Frontend is Python/GTK4, not Lua: lgi/Astal-Lua are GTK3-only.
- Module borders are drawn with a Cairo overlay (lib/border.py); this GTK build's
renderer skips CSS border/background on plain container widgets.
- Consumes Astal GObject libs (io/apps/network/bluetooth) via introspection.
Wiring: autostart + Super+D/Super+Shift+A binds, EWW launcher button in all three
bar variants, apply-theme.sh (_colors.css), installer packages, config-updater.
drawer.sh moved to scripts/deprecated/.

Rename the at-cursor rule to filepicker and move the dialog to a fixed
position 10% into the display (from the top-left) instead of following
the cursor.

Add a dedicated at-cursor window rule (float + move to cursor) and point
the Super+F / Super+Shift+F filepicker binds at it, so the zenity dialog
opens centered on the mouse instead of mid-screen.

Prefix the Super+F / Super+Shift+F filepicker binds with [tag +centered]
so the zenity dialog spawns as a centered floating window (60% x 60%),
matching the centered rule in windowrules.lua. Same tagged-spawn
mechanism as Super+U.

Add filepicker-clipboard.sh: a zenity file dialog that copies the
selected file's path (Super+F) or contents (Super+Shift+F) to the
clipboard via wl-copy. Path mode collapses $HOME to ~.
Repoints Super+F / Super+Shift+F from wofi-file-search/foldersearch
(kept as comments) in usr/binds.lua.

Python curses TUI for managing Hyprland monitors interactively:
- Canvas shows monitors as boxes at their real relative positions
- Tab/Shift+Tab to cycle selection; hjkl/HJKL to move (50/10 px)
- u/i to rotate CCW/CW; n/N to cycle display modes live
- m to mirror (pick target with Tab, confirm with Enter)
- s saves to hypr/usr/monitors.lua atomically
- Scale cached and only recomputed on resize or viewport overflow
- Bound to Super+Shift+M as a centered-L floating kitty popup

- caffeine: inhibit only `idle`, not `sleep`, so lid close still locks
- binds: lid-close unconditionally calls hyprlock; lid-open does dpms on
- hypridle: reduce lock timeout from 3 min to 2.5 min (150 s)
- eww (all 3 variants): add caffeine toggle button (☕/) with tooltip
