[Bug] Fix workspace widget display for scratchpad
Closed this issue · 3 comments
(edited by orangc, as the issue of special workspaces being incorrectly displayed — ex. -99 — was solved in #283)
Expected behavior:
When clicking on the special workspace tab in the workspaces module, the special workspace to appear. It does not.
To reproduce:
- Move a window to a special workspace.
- Optionally, set an icon for the special workspace as well as add special workspaces to the ignored workspaces list to prevent incorrect displaying.
- Click on the special workspace tab
Environment:
This has been tested on both Arch and NixOS.
Can confirm this might be a regression . I have numbered workspaces
You can still either hide it or set the -99 to another icon. This is what I've done.
The reason this still can't work is actually a hyprland issue, where you cannot dispatch special workspaces/scratchpads I believe.
hyprctl dispatch workspace 3 will work for going to workspace 3, but this will NOT work with a special workspace as hyprland doesn't actually support this. Additionally, unlike a normal workspace you can have scratchpads visually "shown" over a normal workspace and use either keybinds/swipe gestures to switch to another workspace and the scratchpad is still shown over it. This must be cancelled using the togglespecialworkspace command, normal workspace dispatching won't work.
I'm honestly not sure what waybar does in this instance, but it's annoyingly subtle 😕
closing as this is no longer valid. Hyprland doesn't allow us to dispatch to special workspaces. Hyprpanel has implemented the ability to blacklist specific workspaces or assign special icons.
