Currently using gbar in Hyprland as I got a bit overwhelmed trying to learn too many things at once (gbar is very limited but simple to configure). I’ve always been thinking of moving over to a more flexible option like eww though, and this might be a good reason to do so (keeping things consistent).
### Multiple binds to one key [](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Binds/#multiple-binds-to-one-key)
You can trigger multiple actions with one keybind by assigning multiple binds to one combination, e.g.:
# to switch between windows in a floating workspace
bind = SUPER,Tab,cyclenext, # change focus to another window
bind = SUPER,Tab,bringactivetotop, # bring it to the top
The keybinds will be executed in the order they were created. (top to bottom)
That’s just the way you write the rules being deprecated, not the functionality.
There is move left/right within a workspace, move to specific workspace and then move to next/previous workspace (from memory using e+1 as the workspace name in the command but might be misremembering). Admittedly this isn’t exactly the same as what you want; I replied from my mobile and checked when I went back to my desk. I usually use meta/shift/[num] to send to a specific workspace though as I make heavy use of them.
I have workspaces pinned to monitors in Hyprland and have none of the problems you mentioned. I use odd numbers for left screen and even numbers for right.
Edit: just took a look and can’t find mention of the depreciation; where did you read that?
Considering they specifically removed Linux support of the earlier headsets, I doubt it too.
Thanks for the summary! Good luck with the project 👍
How does this compare to wlroots?
The AUR has everything. It is a repository of Arch users, so is bound to contain a community here and there.
Arch user here (by the way). I agree - ignore us.
The good thing is that most distributions have live images that you can basically put on a USB stick and run without installing anything. It won’t give you quite the same experience as an installed instance but will at least let you play around with things (especially Gnome or KDE etc.)
Agreed.
Maybe it could be “Installed size +44.6MB” to clarify without taking too much space.
I absolutely love Hyprland but have no respect for Vaxry beyond his coding ability.
I really hope someone starts a good fork of it, I haven’t found another wm I like as much but I hate to be seen as supporting that awful person.
You should take your own advice, okay?
It is probably your NVIDIA driver. Version 545 has this kind of problem. Rolling back to 535 solved it for me.
You can also play with it in a virtual machine. It won’t give you quite the same experience for your specific hardware, but you will get a feel for how it works, especially the package manager etc.
Beryl was a fork of Compiz, and then was merged back later on. The desktop cube was basically Compiz’ first big show off feature, along with the wobbly windows.
Why doesn’t my keyboard have a thumbs-up key?!
Try accidentally emerge world on a full desktop environment with open office and said browser on a Pentium 2 after changing some base level compile flags… Oh, and I was on dial-up. Didn’t do that again.
I got Gentoo on a DVD with instructions in a magazine for a Stage 1 build. No internet connection at that stage so I had to work through problems myself. Took a few goes but I learnt a heck of a lot about how Linux boots.
Been a very long time so apologies if I got some details wrong.
Took me a few goes here and there but now I love my minimal tiling setup. Never really got it but just played with them here and there out of curiosity. Last time I tried it something clicked for me and now I’ve no desire to go back.
Hearing your monitor squeal when you got the modelines wrong was fun.
