Example bread modules

Ready-to-use modules for common desktop automations. Unlike the snippets in ../../Examples.md (which teach the porting patterns), these are complete files you can drop in as-is.

Installing

Modules in ~/.config/bread/modules/ are auto-discovered — copy a file in and reload; no init.lua edit needed:

cp low-battery-warning.lua ~/.config/bread/modules/
bread reload

Modules

File What it does Config needed
low-battery-warning.lua Critical notification once when the battery runs low; resets on AC. none
pause-media-on-headphone-unplug.lua Runs playerctl pause when a headphone/earbud device disconnects. none (needs playerctl)
dock-monitors.lua Applies a multi-monitor layout when an external display connects, reverts when removed. edit output names/resolutions
active-window-widget.lua Shows the focused window next to the workspace pills in breadbar, via bread.widget + bread.state.watch. none
cpu-temp-widget.lua Live CPU temperature readout in breadbar's stats area, via bread.widget + bread.fs.read on a timer. edit TEMP_PATH for your hwmon layout
bluetooth-toggle-widget.lua One-click Bluetooth power toggle in breadbar's tray, via bread.widget + a click handler. none
focus-mode-widget.lua Click-to-toggle "Focus" profile that mutes audio; a widget as an action launcher, not just a readout, and stays in sync with profile changes triggered elsewhere. none (needs wpctl)
workflow-status-widget.lua Surfaces bread.workflow.list() in breadbar's tray — shows whichever workflow (e.g. dock-workflow.lua, below) is currently running or failed, hidden otherwise. none
git-branch-widget.lua Shows the repo + branch of whichever git repo the focused kitty tab is sitting in; yellow when dirty. Entirely self-contained in Lua — no adapter behind it. kitty remote control (see the module's header comment)

Each module is the standard skeleton — bread.module{...}, an on_load that registers subscriptions, return M — so they double as references for writing your own. See ../../Documentation.md for the full event list and Lua API.
