waybar-hyprland-workspaces - Man Page

The workspaces module displays the currently used workspaces in hyprland compositor.

Addressed by hyprland/workspaces

format:
typeof: string
default: {id}
The format, how information should be displayed.

format-icons:
typeof: array
Based on the workspace ID and state, the corresponding icon gets selected. See icons.

window-rewrite:
typeof: object
Regex rules to map window class to an icon or preferred method of representation for a workspace's window.

window-rewrite-default:

typeof: string
default: "?"
The default method of representation for a workspace's window. This will be used for windows whose classes do not match any of the rules in window-rewrite.

format-window-separator:
typeof: string
default: " "
The separator to be used between windows in a workspace.

show-special:
typeof: bool
default: false
If set to true, special workspaces will be shown.

all-outputs:
typeof: bool
default: false
If set to false workspaces group will be shown only in assigned output. Otherwise, all workspace groups are shown.

active-only:
typeof: bool
default: false
If set to true, only the active workspace will be shown.

move-to-monitor:
typeof: bool
default: false
If set to true, open the workspace on the current monitor when clicking on a workspace button.

ignore-workspaces:
typeof: array
default: []
Regexes to match against workspaces names. If there's a match, the workspace will not be shown. This takes precedence over show-special, all-outputs, and active-only.

sort-by:
typeof: string
default: "default"
If set to number, workspaces will sort by number.

{id}: id of workspace assigned by compositor

{name}: workspace name assigned by compositor

{icon}: Icon, as defined in format-icons.

Additional to workspace name matching, the following format-icons can be set.

• default: Will be shown, when no string match is found and none of the below conditions have defined icons.
• active: Will be shown, when workspace is active
• special: Will be shown on non-active special workspaces
• empty: Will be shown on non-active, non-special empty persistent workspaces
• visible: Will be shown on workspaces that are visible but not active. For example: this is useful if you want your visible workspaces on other monitors to have the same look as active.
• persistent: Will be shown on non-empty persistent workspaces
