[hyprexpo] Keyboard redirection #195

Open Prabhuomkar9 opened 6 days ago

Prabhuomkar9 commented 6 days ago

When expo is open

  1. keyboard inputs are currently mapped to the current workspace, which is not a good experience considering the workspace size just goes zoosh(small) => one might type something without realising
  2. what if we could instead block most keys and only allow keys like
    • Left Right Up Down for navigation
    • Space Enter to select
    • Esc potentially to close
  3. potential future being we can go outside the limit 9 (columns=3) and as we navigate to maybe the 8th one the entire expo move one step left and right for start(given not workspace 1)

I absolutely agree with this. I always wanted it to support numeric input, for example, pressing 3 would switch you to the 3rd workspace etc.

Pressing 3 will move to workspace 3 can be achieved by binds right

something like bind = Super, 3, workspace, 3 or do u mean like inside hyprexpo we navigate with numbers?

I meant inside hyprexpo. What you said does indeed work, but say you are already on the 3rd workspace. If you do super+3, nothing will happen because you are already on the 3rd workspace.
