01:35 <leon-p> NickH: glad you found it useful!

01:37 <leon-p> i'll join the river book club with a recommendation of my own: recently read The Invincible by Stanislaw Lem. interesting premise and written well enough that one can finish it in one or two sittings

01:49 <waleee> I "accidentially" read a short overview of the history of pig husbandry in one short sitting while in the local library

01:50 <waleee> (were waiting for an hour or so and it had an intresting elaboration on why the pig became "haram" in first judaism and subsequently islam)

01:53 <waleee> tldr the pig was holy in an earlier religious cult and the first worshippers of yaweh went "postal" when surpressing that cult

01:58 <waleee> hm or was it even earlier in an egyptian cult that was supressed by the worshippers of another egyptian deity (which was later picked up by the jews)

03:09 <kztx> I have Super 1 through 8 bound to set-focused-tags for tags 1 through 8, I think this is in the example config.

03:09 <kztx> The waybar river module only allows me to configure "num-tags", so 8 would display tags 1 through 8.

03:10 <kztx> I want to implement hotkeys that will effectively enable 4 workspaces from these 8 tags.

03:10 <kztx> That is, Super 1 through 8 will always operate on tags 1 through 8, but I need to be able to left/right shift rotate all views. For example, move the views on tags 1-8 to 25-32, 25-32 to 17-24, and 9-16 to 1-8.

03:11 <kztx> Any idea how I would go about this? I think I need to iterate all views and shift their tags.

03:12 <kztx> I think if I could figure that out, it should at least be easy to swap for purpose of two "workspaces" 1-8 and 9-16 operating off of tags 1-8 to satisfy my apparent waybar constraint.

03:13 <leon-p> kztx: unfortunately, only the currently focused view can be operated upon

03:14 <leon-p> you can't set the tags of non-focused views and certainly not that of views that are not visible

03:14 <leon-p> so you'll need to implement this differently:

03:15 <leon-p> instead of moving views to different tags, you can wrap `riverctl set-focused-tags` in a script, which converts 1-8 to 25-32, etc., based on a value you store somewhere

03:16 <leon-p> for example a file

03:17 <kztx> Cool! I'll give that a shot. Thanks

05:26 <tiosgz> leon-p: > the black box is supposed to be the cursor

05:27 <tiosgz> what black box? there's u+258f or something from that block if you don't mind

05:27 <tiosgz> btw were you still up, or already up? (or should i rather not ask)

05:28 <tiosgz> kztx: waybar also has a `num-tags` setting if that's of any help

05:29 <tiosgz> oops, reread now and i see you know that already

05:40 <leon-p> tiosgz: I could not use the unicode block characters to represent the cursor, since the cursor needs to be on some characters. So it's just a <span> </span> with the fg and bg colours swapped

05:40 <leon-p> if it doesn't show up, then you are probably using a weird browser

05:42 <tiosgz> oh, now this morning is really not my favorite. i need more sleep. leon-p it's okay, i just had an old cached style.css and wondered what a weird taste for design you've got :D

05:42 <leon-p> also I am still up. my sleep cycle got massively messed up by a uni project recently :)

05:43 <leon-p> well, arguably I do have a weird taste in design

05:43 <tiosgz> gah. i don't understand how it's possible you're still alive. i'm already dead even with ~7h of sleep

05:44 <leon-p> I am unfortunately used to it

05:44 <tiosgz> but... try to look at your site with the old css. i don't think that's what you'd like

05:45 <leon-p> I have basically fallen into a 10h sleep 20h awake cycle and it's kinda hard to get back to something healthy

05:47 <tiosgz> but through my almost closed eyes i've seen some interesting readline options, yay :) thanks for that thing

05:48 <leon-p> yeah it's surprising how many things one can change

05:49 <leon-p> just has the disadvantage that bash on a system without my inputrc feels basically unusable now :D

12:08 <kztx> I realized that while I can wrap set-focused-tags to map Super 1-8 to 9-16 given external state, waybar will still only display tags 1 through 8 if I set num-tags to 8. That's why I originally went down that thought trail of rotate shifting.

16:40 <tiosgz> re #871 (output rule), i'd really want the unobvious "Unknown" to be mentioned (and as already said, wlr-randr), possibly giving up on the example id

16:41 <tiosgz> (in the manpage that is)
