I love Sway, but Hyprland's special workspace thing is just so damn good.

Meh, hyprland devs and community are known for being toxic, specially with minorities. Can't use because of this :/

I don't see the toxicness on my desktop

toxicness

toxicity

You will feel it when you play "Cities: Skylines" without the "Green City" DLC, for long enough.

How is it relevant to using the wm in your desktop?

I just don't want to feel complacent to the devs and the community actions.

I also love sway's default key bindings, so there one more point keeping me on it

Yeah but Hyprland window groups tend to eat each other with the dwindle layout

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

what do you mean by eat each other?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you have two groups, and you accidentally start dragging a window (assuming you use the mouse at all, which I do) Hyprland will drag the entire group and merge it with the one it's hovering.

Now, imagine someone coming from Sway, who is used to rearranging individual windows by simply dragging them around without having to explicitly move them out of containers...

Hyprland wiki has detailed config options for this

You are a legend. I must've not understood what you meant. Thanks for your contribution. I also apologise for not checking before answering.

Mind giving me some pointers? I've tried to look for a fix several times without success.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same. It also has option to open an app when an empty workspace is opened. It's just so convenient compared to sway which is very solid but also feels quite limiting like i3.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I think you can open stuff when empty workspaces are created, I did it once but I do not anymore because my workspaces reason of being changes when I connect and external monitor.
