Have you caught the Hyprland bug? Well then I have an additional gimmick for you!

This is a useful little utility which tiles floating windows. Yes, that sounds just as wrong to me as it does to you.

Imagine you have a big screen, and a window that you don't want fullscreen, but you also don't want to add padding windows (extra terms, etc...) to make fit nicely. This allows you to quickly resize and place a floating window without grabbing for your mouse and trying to click the correct edge, grab it, and drag it around until it's the right size, only to have to then move the window around and resize again because you didn't guess right the first time, GOTO 10.

Also, for laughs, this package includes a transparent blank window app called hypr-bufferwin, which is resizable, see-through, and useful if you want to add padding to your desktop so that you don't have a single huge window covering your whole desktop. Use it or not, it's not the main point of the hypr-gridtile package.

Copy binaries to your $HOME/.local/bin/ folder and then add this little snippet to your hypr keybindings:

bind = $mainMod CTRL, T, exec, /home/derek/.local/bin/hypr-gridtile # TILE!

and optionally also:

bind = $mainMod ALT, B, exec, ~/.local/bin/hypr-bufferwin # Spacer window launch

The config file lives at $HOME/.config/hypr-gridtile/hypr-gridtile.ron and is in RON notation. Fields should be fairly self-explanatory. Note that, at this time, only a TOP waybar is supported. I'll be adding support for bottom waybars via negative waybar-height values.

Currently, this little project has had a grand total of MAYBE 4 8 hours of work, so it's missing a ton of features that I'm gonna backfill over the next few days:

1. Persistent configuration. It will remember how many rows and columns your favourite grid has. DONE!
   1. I might even add customization to allow alternate keyboard layouts, if anybody ever actually requests it. DONE! This turned out to be a doddle, so I just hacked it in there.
2. Custom theming. We're using Hyprland, it's kinda the whole point. I'll be figuring out how to grab the stylesheets and apply a matching style to the egui window.
3. Retries. Some apps behave weird on resize, and end up only making it part way to the desired location. I want to keep trying because it usually can be forced to converge. Kinda-done; I just try twice by default.
4. hypr-bufferwin -> I'll add a dummy transparent window app that can be used for those times when you DO want full tiling, but have a space you want empty to move the window over a bit. When you have a 43" monitor, sometimes a full width window is a bit... much. I hate moving my head back and forth to read like some ludicrous cartoon character. Done.
