Regression?

I don't know, I started using Hyprland only recently

Description

I'd like a way to SIGKILL a window with a dispacher. The wiki lists forcekillactive here but when saving the config it says Invalid dispacher, requested "forcekillactive" does not exist. It also doesn't seem to exist when using:

hyprctl dispatch forcekillactive
# Invalid dispatcher

hyprctl dispatch ⇥ ⇥
# alterzorder                      global                           renameworkspace

# fullscreen                       pass
# fullscreenstate                  pin

Comparing the autofill values for hyprctl dispach this appears to be the case with: forcekillactive, killwindow, signal, and signalwindow

additionally: setprop & bringactivetotop are listed in the wiki & work in hyprland, but are not autofilled

and: fakefullscreen & toggleopaque are listed in completions but not the wiki, and do not work.

How to reproduce

hyprctl dispatch forcekillactive

or

bind=$mod ALT, Q, forcekillactive

You are using the wiki for 'latest git' instead of your version of hyprland. In your version, these dispatchers are missing; however, please do not close the issue because shell autocompletion is missing for these new dispatchers

Ah no worries :)

[vaxerski]

for shell autocompletion another issue (or preferably MR) could be made
