Control keyboard color based on active qube label
#!/bin/sh
# vim: et sw=4 ts=4
# Requires https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led installed in sys-usb (compile it and put into /usr/local/bin for example)
#
# Usage: run in dom0:
# qvm-run --localcmd=./control-keyboard-color.sh --pass-io -- sys-usb 'xargs -n1 g810-led -a'
# in Qubes 4.0, the command from qvm-run argument is ignored with --localcmd
# and we get raw qubes.VMShell, so echo the command on the first line
echo 'xargs -n1 g810-led -a'

xprop -root -notype -spy _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW |\
