Edit: I want a graphical window switcher that's fully keyboard controlled, so I can see the windows before switching them.

The screenshot is from hyprland-easymotion which only shows labels for visible windows. I want a switcher that allows for both switching to windows or the same, or from any app, using just the keyboard and no mouse.

Ideally I could go to a window without pressing tab or another key a bunch of times, perhaps select any window (visible or not) with a letter like easymotion.

I heard about Quickshell in the context of Hyprland but never new what it is.

This video shows how you can kind of replace Waybar with it. It's interesting.

No one's posting anything for me to read so..

I just got hyprland the other day, still getting everything setup so that I have a full desktop environment, but so far I am enjoying the process of picking and choosing each element.

Hyprland itself is great, but it really opened my eyes to wayland and how great the ecosystem is with stuff like Waybar, tofi and all the other tools.

I considered omarchy, but you have to install that like an OS, which sucks, so I ended up just installing hyprland (and the other stuff) manually, and I'm glad I did. Doing it manually forced me to learn how all the bits fit together, which I thought would be boring, thankfully it wasn't.

All of that and then before posting this I read this communities sidebar: "we don't agree with vaxry". Looked up "vaxry drama" just to now find out that they are encouraging and engaging in their own toxic community and stuff... if I knew that before, I probably wouldn't have gone down the rabbit hole that is hyprland and building your own DE like lego, mostly because: can you trust someone like that and feel good about running their code on your system?

I'm coming from being a KDE Plasma enjoyer for the past half-decade, and I have never heard any drama from their side so coming here and seeing that is kinda shocking, though I guess that's what you get when you have one core person building the software (who is still young themselves).

I think I'm going to stick with hyprland for now because looking back, KDE Plasma seems like a janky & slow mess in comparison to what I have now.

Still feels like a shame that good software is tainted by this type of behavior, I hope they and their community is getting better, but I'm not super up-to-date on the whole fiasco (just finished reading some old blog posts on it, nothing new, so maybe they have become better idk yet).

I know linux itself can have some toxic traits in the community, but usually that's just people being very forward in their communications. Nothing homophobic as far as I know..

You have any thoughts?

Bye

A simple, (hopefully) beautiful screenshot utility for Hyprland with smooth animations, built with Quickshell. PRs and contributions are appreciated.

I switched to Hyprland some time ago and now I made a video showcasing all the features I've implemented for myself, check it out!

In this video I'm showing my current Hyprland setup as a demo. I'm showing features I implemented myself and my configuration of hyprland, waybar, tofi, wlogout, kitty and other tools.

And here the link to my hypr-dotfiles: https://git.jeena.net/jeena/hypr-dotfiles

Hey hey people, vax here.

I've seen the post about Hyprland Premium go a bit viral and people don't seem to understand fully what we're doing.

There is a reason no pages link to the account. subdomain, because it's a work in progress, after all. That's why wording is a bit lacking, that's why registrations are closed.

Anyways, here are some key takeaways:

Yes, it's real

It's the official website. I did not get hacked.

Hyprland is not going closed source

It says that in the first sentence on the page. No paid features, beta branches, etc. We continue development as always.

Why money

I need something to eat too. Once I end university, if I can't make this my full-time job, I will have to severely decrease my contributions in favor of a real job. If this gets us somewhere, it will be only with benefits to you, the users. If I get enough money to hire another guy to help me work on Hyprland full time, I will.

Forums:

Already on forum.hypr.land. To log in, you need a Hyprland Account, that's why we haven't "fully" launched them yet.

"Premium" Forums:

Additional categories on the same forum for premium subscribers - these include premium support (where you get answers from me instead of the community at large), Q&A with me, and some banter chats.

Desktop Experience:

Free desktop experience: Dotfiles provided by us, with one-click installs and updates.

Premium desktop experience: Same as above, but with more customization options. (dotfile customizations, e.g. "bar on what side", "what button where", etc, not Hyprland features)

"Further premium services":

A general catch-all clause if any premium services come out in the future, they will most likely just be a part of the premium subscription. This might be dotfile sync, or other ideas. We don't know yet, that's why we didn't say.

Cheers, happy Hyprlanding.

I've been on the fence since I've been trying Hyprland. What I want out of a window manager / DE is lots of window customization settings (borders, animations, etc.), & having configuration inside one file or one directory with hot-reloading (I'm switching from KDE since its config files all over the place). Hyprland is very popular among WM users with a large ecosystem, though I prefer stacking rather than tiling. I can make it work with some window rules, and shell scripts using hyprctl & jq.

I'm wondering how many little things I will need to fix / figure out. For instance, when I open the firefox bookmarks library with CTRL SHIFT O. When that window is open but not focused, and not on top, if I press CTRL SHIFT O again on a DE it comes back to the top, but not on Hyprland. I could probably find a fix for that?

I might be answering my own question but I really want to hear thoughts.
