tile certain windows in float layout #2309

Closed oaroki-git closed 4 months ago

i've realized that there are more apps i don't want to tile than ones that i do, and there does not seem to be an option to tile only specific apps

is there a way to tile windows in a space with the "float" layout? adding manage=on rules does not seem to work

scoured through issues and documentation, did not find solution

Make a rule to exclude everything? Try adding this to your yabairc and leave bsp layout on:

yabai -m rule --add app=".*" manage=off

Then add rules for needed applications, like so:

yabai -m rule --add \
         app="(DaVinci Resolve| \
               Keyboard Maestro| \
               Logic Pro)" \
         manage=on
