toggle_movetoworkspace_special

[sephid86]

Hello,

First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Hyprland developers for creating such an excellent window manager.

I previously posted about the issue of losing focus on floating windows, and today I would like to suggest a very useful and convenient feature.

It is a toggle function for moving a window to a special workspace and back. I have implemented this using an external script, as shown below:

.config/hypr/scripts/toggle_movetoworkspace_special

#!/bin/bash

SPECIAL_NAME="${1:-special:magic}"

if [ "$(hyprctl activewindow -j | jq -r '.workspace.name')" != "$SPECIAL_NAME" ]; then
  hyprctl dispatch movetoworkspace $SPECIAL_NAME
else
  hyprctl dispatch movetoworkspace r+0
fi

.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

bind = $mod, s, togglespecialworkspace, magic
bind = $mod SHIFT, s, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle_movetoworkspace_special special:magic
# bind = $mod SHIFT, s, movetoworkspace, special:magic
# bind = $mod, ctrl s, movetoworkspace, r+0

While this external method works perfectly, I believe that if this functionality were built natively into Hyprland, it would be highly convenient for many users.

The behavior achieved by movetoworkspace r+0 as a return mechanism is particularly clever but relies on a side effect of a shell command.

Thank you once again to the developers for their continuous hard work on the Hyprland project.

Best regards.

Please forgive any translation errors or awkward phrasing in my message.
