Overview feature previewing all opened clients

[niksingh710]

swipe up to preview all clients opened and easily switch between them using trackpad.
Now typing this makes me feel like this is a dumb feature request for a tiling wm *compositor
but now i have typed it so let it be there.

that could just be a client?

yeah that's a nice idea a client to show all the clients open in Hyprland.
now this seems promising

iirc people have already made that with eww...

nothing's stopping you from for example writing your own app in gtk and C(++) :)

Wouldn't this be better implemented as part of Hyprland (or a plugin), allowing for a 1:1 gesture to transition into the overview (like GNOME and KDE do)?

as a plugin - ok, base hyprland - don't think it's in the scope of a tiling window manager

You can have a tiled overview :)
But I agree this is more in plugin territory. I think the way you showed in #1902 could work really well, and make workspaces which are further away number-wise easier to access (by moving in X and Y space to where it got placed rather than swiping n times to get to it).

window manager

I can't believe you'd say this about the Hyprland compositor.

is hyprland a tiling window manager? sar you need to dig into the project code then you will realize it is a compositor that tiles windows.

[niksingh710]

Yes, Exactly this is what m talking about.

I am trying to make this hyprland plugin but I am not sure if the interface exposed by the plugin will allow me to dynamically switch layouts — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#2569 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AONQF2TQOITB6SL5NDPCJPTX7KIKFANCNFSM6AAAAAAZQRLBDE>.

Closing, this will probably not be core and is better left to plugins like the one demonstrated IMO.
