iio-lock

iio-lock provides orientation controls for 2-in-1 devices, allowing automatic screen rotation to be locked and manual output transforms to be selected.

Plugin

Field	Value
ID	nikolaj-zwergius/iio_lock
Entries	Bar widgets: iio-lock, lock-panel; panel: panel; shortcut: toggle; service: iio-service

Requirements

The plugin supports Hyprland with iio-hyprland and hyprctl. Sway support uses iio-sway and swaymsg and is currently experimental. The helper commands pgrep and pkill must also be available on PATH.

Usage

Add the iio-lock widget to toggle the orientation lock with a left click and open the transform panel with a right click. The lock-panel widget opens the transform panel with a left click. You can also add the toggle shortcut under Settings → Control Center shortcuts.

Open the transform panel directly with:

noctalia msg panel-toggle nikolaj-zwergius/iio_lock:panel

Locking stops the configured IIO rotation helper; unlocking starts it again. The panel applies the selected transform to the chosen output.

Settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
iio	select	iio-hyprland	Automatic rotation helper to start and stop.
transform-order	string	0,1,2,3	Transform values shown by the panel, in order.
vm	select	hyprland	Selects the Hyprland or Sway command backend.
locked	glyph	lock	Glyph used while orientation is locked.
unlocked	glyph	lock-open-2	Glyph used while orientation is unlocked.

Notes

Hyprland is the tested backend. Verify the configured rotation helper works on its own before using the plugin, especially on Sway and similar compositors.
