09:29 <choucavalier> hey! i want to reproduce a "tabs" behaviour that i'm used to have in i3. instead of always having windows split the screen, i would like to have multiple windows taking the full screen and using Mod+Tab to cycle through them. i always end up having multiple full-screen windows within the same workspace... is there any way i can achieve this with river?

09:30 <choucavalier> prediction: leon-p is going to implement that in 30 minutes like he did last time with river-bnf

10:15 <leon-p> no need, it's already done. Check the wiki on github for community layouts. These replace rivertile and implement different layouts, including such layouts as you describe

10:15 <leon-p> choucavalier: ^

10:32 <choucavalier> leon-p: great, stacktile?

10:35 <LarstiQ> "monocole" is a typical name for that layout

10:36 <LarstiQ> without the typos

12:01 <leon-p> choucavalier: possibly, although I think I am now just going to recommend riverguile instead

12:02 <leon-p> I have a layout.scm for my laptop that has live toggling of a "full" mode, if you like

12:31 <novakane> leon-p: speaking of riverguile, that would be kinda nice if we could have a flag like -c layout.scm

12:33 <novakane> I have a few file messing around testing different layout and renaming one to layout.scm every time I want to test another is a bit annoying :P

12:46 <choucavalier> leon-p: would love that!

13:20 <leon-p> novakane: the canonical way to do that would be to just have them all in the same file and just change which functions get called in the handler, but I'll put it on the list

13:20 <leon-p> I'll upload my laptops layout file as soon as I am home

13:30 <novakane> leon-p: right, but I'm a bit messy when writing test layout, I like multiple file better :P

13:30 <novakane> no big deal though, just an idea I had

14:29 <leon-p> if you like you can send a patch

14:30 <leon-p> will probably be quicker than waiting for me

14:30 <leon-p> I am right now a bit distracted by The Secret Project™ and the new health album

14:41 <LarstiQ> health album?

15:22 <leon-p> LarstiQ: yes, it's good nd it's dance-able

15:32 <LarstiQ> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_(band) ?

15:35 <leon-p> yep

15:35 <leon-p> choucavalier: here is my layout.scm from my laptop alongside the maps from the init to control it: https://paste.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/49380d542e51f1b26aaac0fefc9d6795473f261e

15:36 <leon-p> (needs riverguile)

17:12 <Guest11> Hi there folks, just starting to use river

17:13 <Guest11> would anyone happen to know if river has swallow? I switched from Hyprland to river and was wondering if this feature was supported? Ive been trying to find such a thing in the docs but to no avail

17:44 <LarstiQ> Guest11: what is that?

17:45 <Guest11> basically when you start a program on the terminal, it will hide all the output and launch the program on top of the terminal. For example when you mpv file in the terminal, the video plays on top of the terminal

17:46 <Guest11> vs vice versa of mpv launching a new window

17:57 <novakane> Guest11: nope it's not possible in river afaik

21:52 <szgy> Hi y'all; I think I broke my riverwm install :|

21:52 <szgy> running `riverctl` I get 'The wayland server does not support river-control-unstable-v1'

21:53 <szgy> my versions of `river` and `riverctl` match (now 0.3.0-dev..., but I also tried with stable 0.2.6-1)

21:54 <szgy> wlroots is on 0.16.2-2 (I can update to 0.17 but didn't since it seems that river depends on 0.16)

21:55 <szgy> I'm on artix linux
