Hyprland is great.

I switched to it beginning of this year and haven't looked back. Initially I ran JaKoolIt's dotfiles which had a bit too many anime waifus, then some custom dotfiles I made myself, and finally Omarchy which really checks all the boxes for me.

My single gripe I have with it is multi-monitor behavior is pretty bizarre, as workspaces are a per-monitor deal.

My other complaint was with how it dealt with ultrawide monitors, but I managed to get a PR in that fixed that and let you configure an aspect ratio for windows that are the only window on screen so that they aren't always stretched a kilometer wide.

Actually, typing this out led me to find a fix for the multiscreen workspace issue I was having. Basically the solution is to first assign the workspaces to monitors, and then bind the hotkeys to switch both workspaces at once, with the final binding being the one you land at.

If someone wants to steal my homework, this is what I did

  # use `hyprctl monitors` to get your monitors' names, replace DP-3 and HDMI-A-1 as appropriate

  workspace = 1, monitor:DP-3, default:true
  workspace = 2, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true
  workspace = 3, monitor:DP-3
  workspace = 4, monitor:HDMI-A-1
  workspace = 5, monitor:DP-3
  workspace = 6, monitor:HDMI-A-1
  workspace = 7, monitor:DP-3
  workspace = 8, monitor:HDMI-A-1

  unbind = SUPER, code:10
  unbind = SUPER, code:11
  unbind = SUPER, code:12
  unbind = SUPER, code:13
  unbind = SUPER, code:14
  unbind = SUPER, code:15
  unbind = SUPER, code:16
  unbind = SUPER, code:17

  bindd = SUPER, code:10, Switch to workspace 1, workspace, 2
  bindd = SUPER, code:10, Switch to workspace 1, workspace, 1
  bindd = SUPER, code:11, Switch to workspace 2, workspace, 1
  bindd = SUPER, code:11, Switch to workspace 2, workspace, 2
  bindd = SUPER, code:12, Switch to workspace 3, workspace, 4
  bindd = SUPER, code:12, Switch to workspace 3, workspace, 3
  bindd = SUPER, code:13, Switch to workspace 4, workspace, 3
  bindd = SUPER, code:13, Switch to workspace 4, workspace, 4
  bindd = SUPER, code:14, Switch to workspace 5, workspace, 6
  bindd = SUPER, code:14, Switch to workspace 5, workspace, 5
  bindd = SUPER, code:15, Switch to workspace 6, workspace, 5
  bindd = SUPER, code:15, Switch to workspace 6, workspace, 6
  bindd = SUPER, code:16, Switch to workspace 7, workspace, 8
  bindd = SUPER, code:16, Switch to workspace 7, workspace, 7
  bindd = SUPER, code:17, Switch to workspace 8, workspace, 7
  bindd = SUPER, code:17, Switch to workspace 8, workspace, 8

		I've been experimenting with this (it's in Babashka, which is for scripting Clojure, but you can do it with just bash, if your bash-fu is stronger than mine :D ): #!/bin/env bb (ns switch (:require [clojure.java.shell :as sh] [babashka.process :refer [pipeline pb shell process]] [clojure.string :as str])) (def workspace-ids (-> (pipeline (pb "hyprctl workspaces") (pb "grep 'workspace ID'") (pb "awk '{print $3}'")) last :out slurp (str/split #"\n") (->> (reduce (fn[acc e] (try (let [ee (Integer/parseInt e)] (conj acc ee)) (catch Exception e acc))) []) (filter #(and (pos? %) (not= 10 %)))))) (doseq [w workspace-ids] (-> (process (str "hyprctl dispatch moveworkspacetomonitor " w " 1")) deref :exit println)) (process "hyprctl dispatch workspace 8") It basically just moves all workspaces with positive IDs (so not the special workspace) to the external monitor, which seems to have a consistent ID of 1.

		the ideal solution takes into account which screen you were on and leaves you on it i used to have a setup like this on i3, using i3-msg to query the state
