Add capability to change animation style dynamically?

[InvictusSlayer]

I am using a grid-like workspace layout with 2 rows and switch between with a script inspired by this, I have slide enabled when I switch along the rows but I can't find anyway to change this to slidevert when switching between rows. As a temporary solution I use hyprctl keyword animations:enabled when doing this.

One implementation of this feature could be by adding hyprctl functionality - possibly something along the lines of this:

hyprctl keyword animations:animation workspaceIn --style slidevert

with tags for enable/disable, time and style?

An alternative approach could be adding profiles for different animation setups to hyprland.conf under different names

animation = workspacesIn, 1, 2.5, linear, slide, normal
animation = workspacesIn, 0, 2.5, linear, slidevert, normalvertical
animation = workspaces, 1, 2.5, linear, , overallNoAnim

hyprctl keyword animations:enabled normal 0
hyprctl keyword animations:enabled normalvertical 1

Or even almost a hybrid approach:

hyprctl keyword animations:style workspacesIn slidevert

I see that there's an option in hyprctl.usage for animationstyle, but I can't find the documentation on how it's used - I may be missing something?

Just use the animation keyword with hyprlock keyword.
For example: hyprctl keyword animation "windowsIn,1,100,linear"

Generally, every keyword can be used with hyprctl. The syntax is the same as in your config, but instead of using <keyword>=<value>, you write hyprctl keyword <keyword> <value>.

Perfect thank you!
