No message on IPC when the monitor layout is changed

[fdev31]

Description

When a monitor is layout is changed (eg: with the "monitor" keyword in hyprctl) there is no notification on the socket.

This would enable fixing some corner-case scenarios in scripts (eg: Pyprland's scratchpads) without impacting performances for 99.9% of the use-cases.

In case we have a way to query a single monitor property at the time of this ticket implementation, a list of monitors that changed their properties should be provided in the message (to enable the "micro optimization").

Different options/ideas:

• monitorlayoutchanged
• monitorchanged NAME
• monitorschanged
• monitorschanged NAME1,NAME2

or even more specific:

• monitormoved NAME
• monitorscaled NAME
• monitortransformed NAME
• monitorupdated NAME (for everything else like frequency... ?)

monitorlayoutchanged should be enough no?

[fdev31]

Yes. Would apply to "any" monitor property change ? (position, size and transformation at least)

I guess
