Special workspace in a single monitor

[chewwallwa]

I have a vertical monitor and a small one. Opening the special workspace on these, mess up all my apps position, so, I had to find a way to always open it on the main screen.

changes:

on keybinds.conf :

bind = SUPER, W, exec, ~/.config/autostart/toggle-special.sh

instead of bind = Super, W, togglespecialworkspace, # Toggle scratchpad

and the script:

#!/bin/bash

# --- CONFIG ---
TARGET_MONITOR="HDMI-A-1"
SPECIAL_WS="special"

CURRENT_WIN=$(hyprctl activewindow -j | jq -r '.address')
CURRENT_MON=$(hyprctl monitors -j | jq -r '.[] | select(.focused) | .name')

if [ "$CURRENT_MON" == "$TARGET_MONITOR" ]; then
    hyprctl dispatch togglespecialworkspace "$SPECIAL_WS"
    exit 0
fi


hyprctl keyword cursor:no_warps true > /dev/null

hyprctl --batch "dispatch focusmonitor $TARGET_MONITOR ; dispatch togglespecialworkspace $SPECIAL_WS ; dispatch focuswindow address:$CURRENT_WIN"

hyprctl keyword cursor:no_warps false > /dev/null

But would be great to have more than a special workspace per monitor :)
I've also added a discussion on the hyprland github asking for a multi screen special workspace.
