The first segment of a workspace rule is the workspace identifier, which can't be a display. The wiki seems to contain the invalid example workspace=DP-1,3,rounding:false,bordersize:0
for this case. Any further configuration can be done after the first segments, e.g. binding a workspace to a specific monitor with monitor:[m]
(See Example Rules). Also for changing the monitor of a workspace the moveworkspacetomonitor
dispatcher can be used.
workspace=HDMI-A-2,7
works for me
the workspaces need to be emptied 1st, of course
This seems to be undocumented (apart from the example) or deprecated behavior, but you are right. The first argument can be a monitor which requires the second argument to be a workspace. Interestingly the default:true
option is implied by this form of configuring the default workspace (see src/config/ConfigManager.cpp:1137-1150). The default workspace configuration only gets applied when adding a monitor (internally also called output) to Hyprland (see src/helpers/Monitor.cpp:348-350 and src/config/ConfigManager.cpp:2269-2279). This happens either at startup or when connection a new monitor, so the rules only come into effect on those cases. For assigning a workspace to a monitor during runtime the moveworkspacetomonitor
dispatcher has to be used.

Bug or Regression?
Bug
Description
I've changed my workspace bindings to rearrange workspaces with my three monitor setup. Normally changes are applied immediately after saving, but the following change did not become active, only after a restart:
-----------------------------------------------------
Workspace binding to specific monitors
-----------------------------------------------------
workspace=HDMI-A-1,1 workspace=HDMI-A-2,2, default:true workspace=DP-2,3
I am unsure if this is a bug or just my misunderstanding of how it's supposed to work... but you'll deal with this appropriatly, of that I'm sure... :-)
Cheers
Johannes
How to reproduce
Change the workspace settings, especially binding workspaces to specific monitors. Save the change. The change does not become effective immediately, only after a restart of hyprland.
