Apply windowrule to specific window

[Piroro-hs]

Description

Exec with window rules is not always workingcan not handle some usecases. It would be convenient if something like "apply windowrule dispatcher" or hyprctl apply rule window and someway of undone is available.

My specific usecase is to toggle nofocus rule.

Are you sure your exec comes after the windowrule in the config file?

[Piroro-hs]

Sorry for ambiguous comment. exec rule itself is working as expected. It does not handle my usecase (dynamically apply and clear windowrule to existent window) .

[vaxerski]

elaborate?

[phonetic112]

what about hyprctl keyword "windowrulev2 [rule], [window]"

[Piroro-hs]

what about hyprctl keyword "windowrulev2 [rule], [window]"

windowrulev2 does not support specifying window idaddress as its dynamic.

[vaxerski]

what's a window id? Never heard of such a thing.

[Piroro-hs]

Ah, I mean, address

[vaxerski]

it's dynamic and always changes, though.

[Piroro-hs]

Does address change during window is open?
Then pid is ok?
hyprctl apply [rule] [pid]

[vaxerski]

no, once it's open it doesn't...

have you checked hyprctl setprop?

[Piroro-hs]

Yes but setprop does not support nofocus...

[vaxerski]

ok I finally understand what you want from me, tho xD

[MightyPlaza]

Yes but setprop does not support nofocus...
