Use focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor for default SUPER+[1-9,0] bindings

[ecleel]

Problem

With the current default bindings in default/hypr/bindings/tiling-v2.conf:

bindd = SUPER, code:10, Switch to workspace 1, workspace, 1
...

the workspace, N dispatcher follows the workspace to whichever monitor it
already lives on. On a dual-monitor setup, pressing SUPER+1 while focused
on the external screen silently jumps focus to the laptop — the external
screen appears to "do nothing," which is confusing, especially for users
coming from macOS (Omarchy's stated audience).

This has come up before:

• Omarchy not ready for multi-head usage #1317 — "Omarchy not ready for multi-head usage" (closed without adoption)
• External monitor workspace issue #2200 — External monitor workspace issue
• Discussion Multi-head workspace setup in Omarchy #1316, Switch Between 2 Workspace per monitor #1351, How to MoveWorkSpaceToMonitor #3780 — community threads, all settling on the
  split-monitor-workspaces plugin

Proposal

Replace the 10 workspace, N defaults with focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, N,
a native Hyprland dispatcher (added in 0.41.0) that brings the target
workspace to the currently focused monitor.

- bindd = SUPER, code:10, Switch to workspace 1, workspace, 1
+ bindd = SUPER, code:10, Switch to workspace 1, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 1
  ... (repeat for code:11 through code:19)

Why this is safe as a default

- Zero change for single-monitor users (the vast majority):
on one monitor, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor N is identical to
workspace N.
- Native Hyprland dispatcher — no plugin, no new dependency, fits
Omarchy's convention-over-configuration ethos better than the
community's split-monitor-workspaces recommendation.
- Only SUPER+[1-9,0] needs to change. SUPER+SHIFT+N (movetoworkspace)
and SUPER+SHIFT+ALT+N (movetoworkspacesilent) already DTRT.
- SUPER+TAB / SUPER+SHIFT+TAB (cycle with e+1/e-1) keep working.

Multi-monitor behavior after the change

- Focus on external screen, press SUPER+1 → workspace 1 moves onto the
external screen. External screen now shows workspace 1.
- Focus on laptop, press SUPER+1 → workspace 1 moves onto the laptop
(if it wasn't already there).

This matches the intuition "this keybind controls the screen I'm looking at."

If there's appetite for the change, happy to open a PR.

Yes please. I come from xmonad and I find the default behavior very annoying.

Thanks for the workaround @ecleel ! Adding the following to .config/hypr/bindings.conf works:

unbind = SUPER, code:10
unbind = SUPER, code:11
unbind = SUPER, code:12
unbind = SUPER, code:13
unbind = SUPER, code:14
unbind = SUPER, code:15
unbind = SUPER, code:16
unbind = SUPER, code:17
unbind = SUPER, code:18
bindd = SUPER, code:10, Switch to workspace 1, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 1
bindd = SUPER, code:11, Switch to workspace 2, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 2
bindd = SUPER, code:12, Switch to workspace 3, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 3
bindd = SUPER, code:13, Switch to workspace 4, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 4
bindd = SUPER, code:14, Switch to workspace 5, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 5
bindd = SUPER, code:15, Switch to workspace 6, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 6
bindd = SUPER, code:16, Switch to workspace 7, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 7
bindd = SUPER, code:17, Switch to workspace 8, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 8
bindd = SUPER, code:18, Switch to workspace 9, focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor, 9

It changed in Omarchy Quattro. Now it's in .config/hypr/bindings.lua:

-- Switch to workspace N on the CURRENT monitor, instead of moving focus to
-- whichever monitor already has workspace N visible.
for workspace = 1, 10 do
  local key = "SUPER + code:" .. tostring(workspace + 9)
  hl.unbind(key)
  o.bind(key, "Switch to workspace " .. workspace, hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = tostring(workspace), on_current_monitor = true }))
end

Opened #9780 for this.

Note that Omarchy 4 moved these bindings from default/hypr/bindings/tiling-v2.conf to Lua, so it is no longer a focusworkspaceoncurrentmonitor dispatcher line — the equivalent is an on_current_monitor flag on the focus dispatcher:

o.bind("SUPER + " .. key, "Switch to workspace " .. workspace,
  hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = tostring(workspace), on_current_monitor = true }))

Same native Hyprland dispatcher underneath, so the proposal stands as written — it is a one-line change in default/hypr/bindings/tiling.lua.

Verified on a dual-monitor setup: dispatching from the second screen at a workspace living on the first, the plain focus jumps focus to the other monitor, while on_current_monitor = true brings the workspace over and leaves focus put.

For anyone landing here who wants it today without waiting on the PR, the Omarchy 4 version of the workaround in ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua:

for workspace = 1, 10 do
  local key = "SUPER + code:" .. tostring(workspace + 9)
  hl.unbind(key)
  o.bind(key, "Switch to workspace " .. workspace, hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = tostring(workspace), on_current_monitor = true }))
end

(That covers 1-10; my original snippet above stopped at code:18, leaving SUPER+0 on the old behavior.)

Thanks again @ecleel for digging out the dispatcher in the first place.
