NAME

waybar - hyprland workspaces module

DESCRIPTION

The workspaces module displays the currently used workspaces in hyprland compositor.

CONFIGURATION

Addressed by hyprland/workspaces

format:
    typeof: string
    default: {id}
    The format, how information should be displayed.

format-icons:
    typeof: array
    Based on the workspace ID and state, the corresponding icon gets selected. See icons.

window-rewrite:
    typeof: object
    Regex rules to map window class to an icon or preferred method of representation for a workspace's window.
    Keys are the rules, while the values are the methods of representation. Values may use the placeholders {class} and {title} to use the window's original class and/or title respectively. Rules may specify `class<...>`, `title<...>`, or both in order to fine-tune the matching. You may assign an empty value to a rule to have it ignored from generating any representation in workspaces.
    This setting is ignored if workspace-taskbar.enable is set to true.

window-rewrite-default:
    typeof: string
    default: "?"
    The default method of representation for a workspace's window. This will be used for windows whose classes do not match any of the rules in window-rewrite.
    This setting is ignored if workspace-taskbar.enable is set to true.

format-window-separator:
    typeof: string
    default: " "
    The separator to be used between windows in a workspace.
    This setting is ignored if workspace-taskbar.enable is set to true.

workspace-taskbar:
    typeof: object
    Contains settings for the workspace taskbar, an alternative mode for the workspaces module which displays the window icons as images instead of text.

        enable:
            typeof: bool
            default: false
            Enables the workspace taskbar mode.

        update-active-window:
            typeof: bool
            default: false
            If true, the active/focused window will have an 'active' class. Could cause higher CPU usage due to more frequent redraws.

        reverse-direction:
            typeof: bool
            default: false
            If true, the taskbar windows will be added in reverse order (right to left if orientation is horizontal, bottom to top if vertical).

        active-window-position:
            typeof: "none" | "first" | "last"
            default: "none"
            If set to "first", the active window will be moved at the beginning of the taskbar. If set to "last", it will be moved at the end. It will only work if update-active-window is set to true.

        format:
            typeof: string
            default: {icon}
            Format to use for each window in the workspace taskbar. Available placeholders are {icon} and {title}.

        icon-size:
            typeof: int
            default: 16
            Size of the icons in the workspace taskbar.

        icon-theme:
            typeof: string | array
            default: []
            Icon theme to use for the workspace taskbar. If an array is provided, the first theme that is found for a given icon will be used. If no theme is found (or the array is empty), the default icon theme is used.

        orientation:
            typeof: "horizontal" | "vertical"
            default: horizontal
            Direction in which the workspace taskbar is displayed.

        ignore-list:
            typeof: array
            default: []
            Regex patterns to match against window class or window title. If a window's class OR title matches any of the patterns, it will not be shown.

        on-click-window:
            typeof: string
            default: ""
            Command to run when a window is clicked. Available placeholders are:
              - {address} Hyprland address of the clicked window.
              - {button} Pressed button number, see https://api.gtkd.org/gdk.c.types.GdkEventButton.button.html.
            See https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Module:-Hyprland#workspace-taskbars-example for a full example.

show-special:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to true, special workspaces will be shown.

special-visible-only:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If this and show-special are to true, special workspaces will be shown only if visible.

persistent-only:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to true, only persistent workspaces will be shown on bar.

all-outputs:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to false workspaces group will be shown only in assigned output. Otherwise, all workspace groups are shown.

active-only:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to true, only the active workspace will be shown.

move-to-monitor:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    If set to true, open the workspace on the current monitor when clicking on a workspace button.
    Otherwise, the workspace will open on the monitor where it was previously assigned. Analog to using `focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor` dispatcher instead of `workspace` in Hyprland.

ignore-workspaces:
    typeof: array
    default: []
    Regexes to match against workspaces names. If there's a match, the workspace will not be shown. This takes precedence over show-special, all-outputs, and active-only.

sort-by:
    typeof: string
    default: "default"
    If set to number, workspaces will sort by number.
    If set to name, workspaces will sort by name. If set to id, workspaces will sort by id. If set to special-centered, workspaces will sort by default with special workspaces in the center. If none of those, workspaces will sort with default behavior.

expand:
    typeof: bool
    default: false
    Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{id}: id of workspace assigned by compositor

{name}: workspace name assigned by compositor

{icon}: Icon, as defined in format-icons.

ICONS

Additional to workspace name matching, the following format-icons can be set.

•   default: Will be shown, when no string match is found and none of the below conditions have defined icons.
•   active: Will be shown, when workspace is active
•   special: Will be shown on non-active special workspaces
•   empty: Will be shown on non-active, non-special empty persistent workspaces
•   visible: Will be shown on workspaces that are visible but not active. For example: this is useful if you want your visible workspaces on other monitors to have the same look as active.
•   persistent: Will be shown on non-empty persistent workspaces
