Different number of workspaces for each monitor?

[saipavanc]

Hi, I have been experiencing issues with split-monitorworkspaces (I will refer to this as spw) as well. Specifically the following, I was looking for a dispatcher for prev which works well, when trying to go to the old used workspace in the current monitor. spw fails to do that. I hope that is fixed, I will just give this a try once I will get to my dual monitor setup.

Also, in my setup I usually have separate number of persistent workspaces on different monitors. Is it possible to have the num_workspaces setting for each monitor separately, maybe using the monitor name?

Going to the previous workspace already works with and without the plugin's dispatchers. Hyprland tracks the previous workspace on each monitor.

I'm not sure I understand why you want to do this? You don't need to use every workspace if you don't want to

Oh, this definitely did not work for me. I used the following: bind = Super, Tab, split:workspace, prev, and it does not stay in the same monitor.

In my workflow, I like to keep a fixed number of workspaces, so I use persistent workspaces. If that is the case, I will have different number of workspaces on each monitor.

previous workspace selection should be fixed in https://github.com/shezdy/hyprsplit/commit/d02a61319d515251a34db76f9506aea8b3916d0f, i didn't realize it could break depending on the dispatchers used

If you want to use persistent workspaces with different number per monitor can you not do something like this?

plugin:hyprsplit:num_workspaces = 6

workspace = 1, monitor:DP-1, persistent:true
workspace = 2, monitor:DP-1, persistent:true
workspace = 3, monitor:DP-1, persistent:true
workspace = 4, monitor:DP-1, persistent:true
workspace = 5, monitor:DP-1, persistent:true
workspace = 6, monitor:DP-1, persistent:true

workspace = 7, monitor:DP-2, persistent:true
workspace = 8, monitor:DP-2, persistent:true

workspace = 13, monitor:HDMI-A-1, persistent:true
workspace = 14, monitor:HDMI-A-1, persistent:true
workspace = 15, monitor:HDMI-A-1, persistent:true
