Need help with window rules

[kolaente]

I want to make the popup of my password manager float when I open it. To do that, I have a rule like this:

windowrulev2 = float, class:zen,title:^(.*)Extension:(.*)Bitwarden Password Manager(.*)Zen Browser$

However, the window never floats.

When I run hyprctl dispatch togglefloating title:'^(.*)Extension:(.*)Bitwarden Password Manager(.*)Zen Browser$', the window floats as expected, which means the match seems to work.

What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

Seems to be discussed here as well: #8078

In your window rule above you are targeting a class of zen, but in your hyprctl dispatch command you don't include this. Could that be your problem?

This seems to make no difference.

AFAIK Impossible due to the initialTiltle of the Bitwarden window being "Zen Browser" and static window rules such as float not being applied after title change

https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Window-Rules/#rules

Maybe you could apply a tag to the window when the title is changed and then set the for all windows with the tag to be floating ?

what you could do is push for firefox's support of toplevel-tag (see #9867) which likely would make ff set a tag to the window before it's created, making it targetable.

I've tried with a rule to add a tag and then float when the window has that tag, but no luck.

Hi guys, did you find a solution for this? I installed zen recently and suffer right now from non workt rule.
