NAME

waybar - hyprland workspaces module

DESCRIPTION

The workspaces module displays the currently used workspaces in hyprland compositor.

CONFIGURATION

Addressed by hyprland/workspaces

format:
    typeof: string
    default: {id}
    The format, how information should be displayed.

format-icons:
    typeof: array
    Based on the workspace ID and state, the corresponding icon gets selected. See icons.

window-rewrite:
    typeof: object
    Regex rules to map window class to an icon or preferred method of representation for a workspace's window.
    Keys are the rules, while the values are the methods of representation. Values may use the placeholders {class} and {title} to use the window's original class and/or title respectively. Rules may specify `class<...>`, `title<...>`, or both in order to fine-tune the matching. You may assign an empty value to a rule to have it ignored from generating any representation in workspaces.

window-rewrite-default:
    typeof: string
        default: "?"
        The default method of representation for a workspace's window. This will be used for windows whose classes do not match any of the rules in window-rewrite.

format-window-separator:
    typeof: string
    default: " "
    The separator to be used between windows in a workspace.

show-special:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to true, special workspaces will be shown.

special-visible-only:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If this and show-special are to true, special workspaces will be shown only if visible.

all-outputs:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to false workspaces group will be shown only in assigned output. Otherwise, all workspace groups are shown.

active-only:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to true, only the active workspace will be shown.

move-to-monitor:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to true, open the workspace on the current monitor when clicking on a workspace button.
    Otherwise, the workspace will open on the monitor where it was previously assigned. Analog to using `focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor` dispatcher instead of `workspace` in Hyprland.

ignore-workspaces:
    typeof: array
    default: []
    Regexes to match against workspaces names. If there's a match, the workspace will not be shown. This takes precedence over show-special, all-outputs, and active-only.

sort-by:
    typeof: string
    default: "default"
    If set to number, workspaces will sort by number.
    If set to name, workspaces will sort by name. If set to id, workspaces will sort by id. If none of those, workspaces will sort with default behavior.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{id}: id of workspace assigned by compositor

{name}: workspace name assigned by compositor

{icon}: Icon, as defined in format-icons.

ICONS

Additional to workspace name matching, the following format-icons can be set.

•   default: Will be shown, when no string match is found and none of the below conditions have defined icons.
•   active: Will be shown, when workspace is active
•   special: Will be shown on non-active special workspaces
•   empty: Will be shown on non-active, non-special empty persistent workspaces
•   visible: Will be shown on workspaces that are visible but not active. For example: this is useful if you want your visible workspaces on other monitors to have the same look as active.
•   persistent: Will be shown on non-empty persistent workspaces
