Hyprland has updated some of the core functions related to groupping windows in PR: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/2630 Specifically, the CWindow::insertWindowIntoGroup was updated to no longer automatically make the newly inserted window the group's head, allowing to insert windows without the group auto-focusing them. With that, the CKeybindManager::moveIntoGroup (dispatcher) function was then updated to adhere to the change in insertWindowIntoGroup and to make the inserted widow the group's head from there. It's probably possible to utilize the insertWindowIntoGroup without making the inserted window the group's head in a more clever way, however for now, this commit just changes our logic in groupCreate function to fully replicate the moveIntoGroup for each dwindle child node window. This means we're still doing what we were doing before, that is to insert a window, make it the group head, repeat for each dwindle child and at the end make the original group head the head again. The reason this fix doesn't simply skip making each of the nodes a group head is that without it, the layout doesn't seem to properly recognize that the window should no longer be shown, and while this probably can be addressed by replicating some of the CWindow::setGroupCurrent function's behavior, for now, that's a task for later. |

Dwindle-Autogroup
This plugin changes the behavior of the togglegroup dispatcher for dwindle layout, to automatically group all of the child windows when a new group is created.
Before Hyprland v0.23.0beta, this was actually the default behavior (PR #1580), however as that release introduced group support for other layouts, including floating windows, this dwindle specific feature was removed and togglegroup now only creates a group window, and requires you to move in all of the windows that should be a part of that group into it manually.
Installation
Since Hyprland plugins don't have ABI guarantees, you should download the Hyprland source and compile it if you plan to use plugins. This ensures the compiler version is the same between the Hyprland build you're running, and the plugins you are using.
The guide on compiling and installing Hyprland manually is on the wiki
Note, this plugin currently requires hyprland compiled from commit: 4afeedbd or later.
Using hyprload
Add the line "ItsDrike/hyprland-dwindle-autogroup" to your hyprload.toml config, like this:
plugins = [
"ItsDrike/hyprland-dwindle-autogroup",
]
Then update via hyprload,update dispatcher.
Manual installation
-
Clone the Hyprland repository and build the plugin environment
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland- In the Hyprland directory:
make pluginenv - Ideally, you should use this instance of Hyprland as your compositor, to do that, run
make install. This is heavily recommended, as using a different Hyprland instance might cause incompatibilities.
-
Build the plugn
- Run
make all
- Run
-
Add this line to the bottom of your hyprland config
exec-once=hyprctl plugin load <ABSOLUTE PATH TO split-monitor-workspaces.so>
Development
When developing, it is useful to run make clangd, to generate compile_flags.txt file, allowing Clang language server to properly recognize the imports, and give you autocompletion.
Disclaimer
I'm very new to C++ development, and I'm also not very familiar with Hyprland's codebase. So while I will do my best to follow best practices, with so little experience, you can be pretty much certain that there will be bugs, and that the code will not be pretty. But hey, if you know about something that I did wrong, feel free to PR/make an issue about it.
