Samueru OP , 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really want to stick to something like i3, which I think the only thing that is close is sway (and sway is not a perfect drop in replacement for i3 btw).

github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8000

github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8001

github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8002

Actually not even i3 is perfect for me, I had to fork it to apply a patch that they haven’t applied: github.com/i3/i3/pull/5521

A few months ago I really tried to switch to hyprland, it all ended with my wasting my time reading the documentation on how to assign workspaces to monitors for hyprland to tell me that the feature was deprecated 💀

Another issue that I had with hyprland is that I could not move a floating window between displays using the move left/right as those moved the window to the right/left of the display instead of a left/right direction.

I also use i3msg to do some mildly complex actions, which I really couldn’t figure out how to do with hyprland, like this one:

github.com/Samueru-sama/dotfiles/blob/…/config

<span style="color:#323232;">set $EXC exec --no-startup-id
</span><span style="color:#323232;">set $ADUNST dunstify -r 33 -t 1500
</span><span style="color:#323232;">set $RX1 i3-msg '[class="Brave" instance="^(?i)(?!web.telegram.org__k)(?!discord.com__app)(?!web.whatsapp.com).*"] focus'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$BIND $MOD+F1 $EXC $RX1 && $ADUNST "Brave" || ( brave & $ADUNST "Launching Brave" )
</span>

Which basically the same keybind either focuses or launches the web-browser, but does not focus on the PWA instances of the web browser as for that I use a different keybind.

Another bigger issue that I need to solve as well is that it seems it isn’t possible to do "xrandr --setmonitor extended in wayland, as I use that with my 3 monitors to play some games. (it sets the 3 displays as one).
