Definitive Manual

The Tebian Protocol

A complete technical reference for the World's Greatest OS.

One Manual to Rule the Machine

Tebian is designed to be self-documenting. However, for the professional user who needs a quick reference for our C-level optimizations and custom scripts, we provide the Tebian Protocol. This is the definitive cheat sheet for managing your sovereign workstation.

1. Keybindings: The Sway Control

Tebian standardizes on the Super (Mod4) key. Here are the essential shortcuts:

  • [ Super + Enter ] - Launch Kitty (GPU-accelerated terminal).
  • [ Super + D ] - Launch Fuzzel (The universal app/settings menu).
  • [ Super + Shift + Q ] - Kill the focused window.
  • [ Super + Space ] - Toggle Floating/Tiling mode.
  • [ Super + R ] - Enter Resize mode (use arrow keys).
  • [ Super + V ] - Open Clipboard History (Cliphist).
  • [ Print ] - Snapshot (Regional to clipboard).

2. The Tebian Scripts: ~/Tebian/scripts

Our custom logic lives in ~/Tebian/scripts/. You can call these from anywhere.

  • update-all - Unifies apt and flatpak updates.
  • tebian-settings - Opens the Fuzzel-based Control Center.
  • status.sh - The zero-dependency bar script.
  • tebian-theme [name] - Hot-swaps the system aesthetics.

Conclusion: Mastery through Reference

The Tebian Protocol is your guide to the metal. By internalizing these commands and locations, you move from a "user" to an "operator." One ISO. One menu. Total command. Welcome to the Protocol.
