Hello all,
I’m new on the tiling window business. I mostly have to work with Windows and on Linux side I’m used the big DE’s Gnome + Plasma.
I’m never used workspaces.
But I’m played arround a little with hyprland!
I like the dwindle behaviour with special programs, mostly terminals / terminal based apps.
But I’m also using applications, that I’m only wonna have in fullscreen mode, aka using most space they can get. (Image manipulation, development ide’s)
So I’m tried to configure this with workspaces, but I’m just struggeling with the concept itself :-)
My attempt was, to open specific apps (window rule) with “empty” workspace. So im getting a new one in fullscreen.
But this worked not so good together with the other workspaces.
I tried to prevent a new console to open on this (specific) workspaces (if activated) and tile / overlay the application there, but keep the the tiling behaviour
Im tried to resolve problems aka "getting the next free workspace of type … "
So I’m ended in extensive writing scripts, triggered by hl.on() event handling with regexp & co.
And Its still generating new issues :-)
So that feels not really smooth, its feels like swimming against the tide.
So do you mix tiling and non tiling behaviour and how?
