Configuration Session Protocols

Optional session protocols

These are launch-time environment switches, not KDL keys. Enable only for trusted clients: FERESE_ENABLE_INPUT_METHOD=1, FERESE_ENABLE_SHORTCUT_INHIBIT=1, FERESE_ENABLE_SCREENCOPY=1. The installed session launcher enables screencopy for screenshots unless FERESE_ENABLE_SCREENCOPY=0 is explicitly set in its environment. Setting it to 0 disables every path that can read the screen, including the built-in screenshot command, not just the Wayland protocol. A session launched by hand rather than through ferese-session needs FERESE_ENABLE_SCREENCOPY=1 in its environment for screenshots to work. Text input is available by default; Ctrl+Alt+Escape releases an active shortcut inhibitor. Use feresectl --help for runtime control commands.

Shell rounding is controlled in Settings → Appearance → Shell corner radius. The shell and compositor use the same squircle profile for fills, borders, shadows and blur masks. Small controls cap the radius to fit their size; circles and pills keep circular outlines. The measured profile has small tangent and curvature discontinuities at its internal segment joins. Window rounding remains under Settings → Appearance → Windows. Shell rounding comes from theme.geometry.shell-radius, which defaults to 14 px. Panel corners follow their selected style and height, with optional overrides in the panel configuration.
