4:39 fun fact, the Hyprwm project has a program called Grimblast which is a Hyprland remake of Grimshot, and Grimshot is a wrapper of Grim and Slurp into one command.

Matt, maybe you could do a video about setting up scratchpads in Hyprland and how they compare to other window managers.

It’s insane how you have such an accurate timing to what I need, I was struggling with portal and you made a video about it and now u’re doing a Hyprland video, thank you so much for the always amazing work

Webcord is nice, but I honestly recommend Vesktop. Not only does it have full wayland support, it also has a native module that interacts with the pipewire API for audio in screenshares. (also its just cute)

Thanks for the video helped me out on my hyprland journey.

Thank you so much! Waybar restart tip was very helpful!

Thanks for the mention of wpctl. Somehow I didn't know this existed. I just used it to replace amixer and pactl calls in a script I have on my system to control volume increases, decreases, and muting, as well as associated notifications.

Thank you, i was actually struggling to set my dual monitors, ❤ I'm lookimg forward for more videos

4:42 You can use Grimshot, which is a wrapper of grim and slurp together and then you can do "grimshot save area" to achieve the same effect, and "grimshot save output" allows you to do a fullscreen screenshot

I love your content ❤ So helpful

Really like your simple but elegant Waybar setup. Gonna have to surf some examples since my CSS skill is basically nonexistent.

your ricing is so good the color scheme , font... Man I love it. Wish I could do too. 😍

I truly loved the scratchpad thing... Maybe I'll incorporate it to my own dotfiles. Thanks, Matt!

Great video my friend!

Webcord, pypr, wpctl, (I use grim & slurp already, but your config is cool): always a couple of worthwhile nuggets in your vids. Thanks Matt!

one trick for adjust volume keybinds. hyprland provides `binde` which will repeat the command if you hold the keybind. so it will be more convenient to adjust the volume, you don't have to press the keybind like 3 times to increase volume by 15% binde = ALT, A, exec, wpctl set-volume -l 1.4 @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+

4:45 It is useful to separate these tools for scripts, e.g. if you want to scan an e-book (that can't be exported) it comes in handy that you can first use slurp to store the coordinates and later call grim many times with those coordinates.

Nice thanks for sharing chap. Have you done a quick 101 with flakes and home manger?

To truly power up grim and slurp, add swappy to your command chain. i.e. bind = , Print, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" - | swappy -f - and now you have your screen cap in an annotation tool for light manipulation and easy copy to clipboard.

Keep up the good work

This is a very useful video. Make one where you set up environment variables please?

Great video! How did you configure Waybar to look like this?

build from source... unless you use arch btw...

Awesome tips! But why don't you use hyprshot for screenshots?

are you taking dht blockers(fin/dut) and minoxidil to emerge new hair ?

hyprland is my first ever window manager and I cant see me using anything or going back to desktop every again

Hey Matt, can you tell me why is webcord better at screen sharing than discord ? Thanks, wish you a great day !

A tip for Arch BTW users: If you are on git master, the git version from AUR that is, then make sure that all hypr packages(paper, language, portal etc) are also the git version, don't mix and match! If you install Hyprland git form AUR, a lot of non-git dependencies will be pulled in, causing problems eventually. Sorry for the vague wording, but this is how far the filter will let me go. Google automatically deleting comments makes the YT comment section almost unusable. (did not even use links this time)

Hyprland finally made me switch to Linux from windows. I absolutely love it on arch. I still have a dual boot because I rely on software that only work on windows for work purposes but when I build my next PC I'm gonna repurpose my old one to be container server so I can just use arch

I've never used a window manager. Hyprland is changing me, I'll have to try it out.

I beg you! Make video on how you setup your workspaces.

Here’s my tip for hyprland: don’t use plain hyprland, use nwg-shell instead. They dev, nwg-piotr has done an excellent job in the past months. In fact, given the release cadence, he’s been working his ass off. Nwg-Shell is a collection of things that go with hyprland and sway. Like a bar, display-settings-manager, gui app for settings, etc. It’s a bit like the old gnome2 used to be. But it uses hyprlands source feature so you can still change things around in your hyprland config manually without messing it up

What is the name of your nvim theme?

wpctl is part of the wireplumber package

nice gonna try some of it. just set up hyprland on nixos two days ago. no way i gonna go back to something like gnome even so my hyprland config is not fleshed out yet.

I have only 1 problem that keeps me from using Hyprland. Full-screen behavior. I want it the way i3 does it: If I fullscreen on one monitor it should be possible to switch to a different monitor with just my direction keys. Hyprland does not do this, instead it switches all windows in the current monitor to fullscreen and that annoys me to no end.

Hey! Any chance you could share your dotfiles? I love how your waybar and window border looks and would love to take inspiration from your configuration. Thanks for the video!

How did you get betterdiscord to work on webcord

The issue I have when using hyprland in cachyos is that it seems to require a lot of time from me to be able to modify the hyprland theme + waybar to something that is acceptable to me (which is no waste of screen estate). Does anybody know of any tutorial/video showing how to modify hyprland and waybar themes?

I haven't done much on Linux recently, but with Windows becoming more expensive... primarily requiring more frequent hardware refreshes because of steep hardware requirements... I think some of my PCs will be having a Linux distro on them soon enough. When you talk about compiling from source, you mean that whole process untarring, ungzipping the source code archive,... then run configure, then make, make test, make install...??? Is that what it is? I haven't done it in years, but my memory is that one plus with Linux is that I believe that process of compiling from source is more universal... or perhaps I'm just remembering the compile process for Perl? You can tell it's been a while...

How to close application after use ing it

Would like to know how to quickly switch between windows. Say youre in workspace 1, and you want to switch to firefox, which is on workspace 3 which has 3 different apps open as well. Would like to switch with fewest key strokes. Also, what if you kinda forget what workspace Firefox is on? I try to keep it on 3 but sometimes its not. I feel my previous alt-tabbing was still faster to navigate through windows. Loving hyprland otherwise

Maybe a plugin like Hycov can help you, it's an Alt + Tab overview of all open windows and tabs on all workspaces.

Maybe this: Make a script with hyprctl, that gets all open firefox windows by name and goes through all of them while bringing the active window to top. Call that script with a key combination like maybe super+f or something.

i tried hyprland once but it took much time to configure and disable everything. i prefer wms which comes with no animations, no transparency, no curvy corners etc enabled in default.

I am using hyprland in debian testing just recently and I also build it from source. Do i have to rebuild it again after some time if I want a newer version?

why not use grimblast for screenshots. It's basically a grim+slurp wrapper.

Hyprland on Open Suse is perfect. Waybar. Wofi. This is a nice experience. Thanks for the tips.

I use this to make screenshots: grim -g "$(slurp)" - | swappy -f -
