hyprnome

GNOME-like workspace switching in Hyprland.

Features

• Switch between workspaces without worrying about which numbered workspace you're on.
• Reduce the amount of effort it takes to switch workspaces since you no longer have to reach for keys 3-9.
• Use multiple monitors without worrying about which monitor a workspace is on.
• Difference between m+1: Does not wrap and instead creates new workspaces when reaching the end.
• Difference between r+1: Does not show an empty workspace if there's a non-empty workspace with a higher id.

Installation

hyprnome has official support for NixOS, Arch Linux (AUR), and Fedora (Copr).

NixOS (Recommended)

Add hyprnome to your systemPackages and rebuild.

{ pkgs, ... }:

{
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    hyprnome
  ];
}

Alternatively, use nix run nixpkgs#hyprnome to try hyprnome without installing it.

Arch Linux (AUR)

Use an AUR helper like yay to install hyprnome.

sudo dnf copr enable solopasha/hyprland && sudo dnf install hyprnome
