Description

Hi! Trying Hyprland out as a sway/i3 user, so please bear with me if this isn't supported or is working as intended.

I'm trying to replicate the behavior where Shift + Mod + <direction> moves a window and changes the layout as if it was re-nested under that branch.

I use bind = SHIFT_$mainMod, H, movewindow, l to bind Shift + Super + H to move a window to the left, but when I do, it doesn't work as expected.

For example, given the following window layout:

Monitor 1
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                     │
│ ┌───────────────┐ ┌───────────────┐ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │ App 1         │ │ App 2         │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │               │ └───────────────┘ │
│ │               │                   │
│ │               │ ┌───────────────┐ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │               │ │ App 3         │ │
│ │               │ │ Active Window │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ └───────────────┘ └───────────────┘ │
│                                     │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘

I expect the following window state:

Monitor 1
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                     │
│ ┌───────────────┐ ┌───────────────┐ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │ App 1         │ │ App 2         │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ └───────────────┘ │               │ │
│                   │               │ │
│ ┌───────────────┐ │               │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │ App 3         │ │               │ │
│ │ Active Window │ │               │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ └───────────────┘ └───────────────┘ │
│                                     │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘

However, instead, I see this behavior:

Monitor 1
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                     │
│ ┌───────────────┐ ┌───────────────┐ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │ App 3         │ │ App 2         │ │
│ │ Active Window │ │               │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │               │ └───────────────┘ │
│ │               │                   │
│ │               │ ┌───────────────┐ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │               │ │ App 1         │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ │               │ │               │ │
│ └───────────────┘ └───────────────┘ │
│                                     │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘

This result seems to be identical in behavior to swapwindow.

How to reproduce

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -Syu hyprland

Because I'm still trying out hypr, the config is still relatively vanilla.
