A few features I'd like to see in Hypr about hypr

[vaxerski]

Fullscreen and workspace rules added in 894a9b0

Scratchpads - please demo link, I've never understood those.

mouse support for dragging tiled windows added in 0b9a332

Thanks for implementing them! I've build Hypr with the void-template which seems to pull the releases so I'll have to wait until 1.1.2 to test them (perhaps I'll replace it with a manual build if I'm too impatient) but I'll report back once I have.

The scratchpad feature is similar to the drop-down terminal which most DEs have. It is in its essence a tool which can send an application/terminal to an invisible workspace where it remains in its current state until the user pulls it back to focus. Here's a video demonstration of the Scratchpad patch in Dwm.
Think of it like a literal scratchpad - perhaps you're watching a lecture and you need to note something down now and then but don't want it to take up space - send the app to the scratchpad where it is out of view but remains in the state you left it in; like putting a notepad in your pocket - and when it's time to write something you can pull it back to the front with a quick button press and the file is still open in the state you left it in.

If it is still unclear and you're still interested to know more you could spin up a VM with bspwm and try the snippet above to see it in action. Regardless, thanks again for implementing the other features. Looking forward to testing them.

ok got it how scratchpads work. sure.

made a release and added scratchpads.

Urgent will do later.

Thank you for implementing these features so quickly. I've updated and the drag support is fantastic. Scratchpad is excellent too.

Since Scratchpad is limited to one application, it is perhaps worth considering whether it is possible to have it bound to one key rather than requiring two? E.g:
If scratchpad is empty > send app to scratchpad
If scratchpad is occupied > retrieve app from scratchpad

Just a thought. It is excellent as is, as well.

Having a bit more trouble with the workspace rules. What is the correct format for defining rules for classes which have spaces in their names, for example:

windowrule=workspace 3,role:Jellyfin Media Player
windowrule=workspace 3,role:'Jellyfin Media Player'
windowrule=workspace 3,role:"Jellyfin Media Player"

None of these work.

try class:
role is an Xorg internal value.

edit: scratchpad isnt limited to one application in hypr

class: works, thanks.

I am also missing for focus by click feature. I nether use focus by hover since sometimes mouse may be moved by accident, so it would be great to focus windows by explicit click.

I also love this WM!

You could make a new issue for new suggestions.
