Sway and Zotero 7.x, citation dialogue fix with xwayland

edited 28 days ago
it will be advisable to launch Sway as a Xwayland application before the citation dialogue is properly displayed, to achieve this you can launch Zotero from the terminal with the below

env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=xwayland-0 zotero

or launch Zotero with a keybinding by including it in the sway config as

bindsym $mod+z exec exec env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=xwayland-0 zotero

a new desktop app can be written to launch Zotero from app launcher, this is only a suggestion or make a new alias in zsh or bash and then launched from the terminal with zoterox

alias zoterox='env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=xwayland-0 zotero'
