Notable changes:
- Set a background, start yambar, set volume, and play audio on startup
- Remove gaps by default
- Remove blur
- Increase special scale factor
- Show red for xwayland windows
This is an alternative to the default swapmaster behavior that, instead
of swapping with the first child, swaps with the last active window if
the currently focused window is master.
river is a cool Wayland compositor that I've been trying for a few days
now. There are some bugs and unimplemented features, however, that make
me want to use Hyprland instead.
Many of these settings are not necessary to change since they're the
default anyway, and by using the defaults, important settings should be
automatically applied over time.
Changes include:
- fcitx5 support
- Removed middle click paste
- udiskie starts by default
- Internal screen is 1x scale by default
- Acceleration profile is flat
- swww settings added
- Gaps are smaller by default
- No border by default
- Master layout by default
- No rounding by default
- Special workspace uses fade animation
- New windows become master
- rofi used over of wofi
- Super+O to toggle waybar
- Super+U to toggle between master/dwindle layouts
- Super+S to toggle special workspace
- Super+Ctrl+[0-9] for river/dwm-like tag behavior
- Super+Alt for group keybinds
- Volume/brightness keybinds
I never use this and it was actually making tab not work when at the end
of of a word. Getting rid of it entirely means less running code that I
have to maintain.
Pressing the actual number of the desktop is more productive than
tabbing between them since you associate the hand movement with that
workspace, making it easier to return to later.
Super+tab, in contrast, was one hand movement that resulted in many
different results, which wasn't so good for memorizing which desktop has
what.
I don't think I've ever had to change from SUPER in my years of using
Linux, and if I ever had to, it'd be a simple find and replace.
Using SUPER explicitly here makes things easier to read and understand
without having to worry about additional variables.
Super+Enter is now the infamous new terminal keybind, and Super+Q now
closes windows as expected.
Other changes include using a single instance for kitty and adding
basic screenshotting functionality.
This is huge and means that I no longer have to use the buggy libinput
hacks that I used previously. So far, I haven't experienced any bugs
with hyprland gestures that I experienced with libinput-gestures.
