00:03 <NickH> You probably need to put double quotes around $(slurp).

00:03 <NickH> riverctl map Normal None Print spawn 'grim -g "$(slurp)"'

00:04 <NickH> The string slurp returns has a space in it.

00:15 <szgy> yep, that did it :)

00:15 <szgy> heh, thanks for the help

00:15 <NickH> No problem

13:11 <maralorn> Having a look at the river protocols. Is it correct that it is impossible to get a mapping from all views to their tags? I can apparently get a list of viewtags, but how are they sorted how can I map them to the windows I have?

13:11 <leon-p> yes

13:11 <leon-p> not possible right now

13:11 <leon-p> planned, but no workarounds

13:12 <maralorn> Okay. Thanks!

13:14 <maralorn> Also, am I correct, that the only view for which I can modify the view tags is the currently focused one?

13:15 <maralorn> (Thinking about a script which sorts views to different tags.)

13:36 <leon-p> indeed

13:37 <leon-p> I guess you could create a really ugly script that focuses all tags, cycles through all windows, gets the title of the focused window and assigns tags based on that. But that's very hacky and also potentially racy

14:05 <maralorn> It would also be very fun to look at.^^

15:51 <szgy> Hi! I'm on river 0.2.6 and it seems that the `add-rule` cmd doesn't exist on this version, but is shown on the man page

15:52 <ifreund> szgy: I believe you are reading a man page from river's master branch then

16:44 <szgy> weird since I'm reading the man page from the cli and I have river 0.2.6 installed through pacman

16:45 <szgy> its no problem, but its confusing since some riverctl commands were failing because I was using features that aren't available yet...

16:51 <yushi61> hello

16:52 <yushi61> I'm new to river and want to configure it, what do you advise me to start with ? didn't find much on youtube

16:52 <leon-p> https://leon_plickat.srht.site/writing/river-setup-guide/article.html

16:52 <yushi61> thanks

16:53 <leon-p> also the man page, of course

17:43 <leon-p> high-order functions are super nice for writing layouts. I can define a bunch of layout primitives (rows, columns, spirals, etc...) and then a function layout->metalayout to arrange a bunch of layouts in another layout, then a function layout->sublayouts to programmatically generate the list of sublayouts and their limits.

17:45 <leon-p> even something like per-tag layouts is suddenly trivial

17:48 <szgy> leon-p: this with riverguile??

17:48 <leon-p> yup

17:48 <szgy> nicee. I've been meaning to get to it since I'm fond of lisp/scheme

17:48 <szgy> (I actually use fennel to configure river)

17:49 <szgy> per-tag layouts is smth I wanted to do, since i.e. in rivercarro layouts are global (which is not the best for stuff like monocle layout)

17:49 <leon-p> for reference, here is my layout.scm: https://git.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/river-config/tree/master/item/river/layout.scm

17:50 <leon-p> basically all config is stored in a hash-table and the keys contain the tags and output

18:10 <ifreund> very cool :)

18:33 <szgy> hehh niice. will check that out when I have some time (now doing new years cooking, while cleaning the house)

18:35 <szgy> does river have any sort of 'event system'? like, I want to know when a window is switched to fullscreen. Is there some socket to read that from?

18:36 <szgy> or are there plans for smth like that ? (I want to ie. kill wlsunset when watching a video in fullscreen)

18:54 <leon-p> szgy: kinda. we have a protocl for that (river-status) but the events it sends are limited

18:54 <leon-p> have fun cooking, will do the same now with my flatmates

18:56 <szgy> happy newy! curious to know how to hook to that river-status protocol

22:07 <leon-p> szgy: it's a wayland protocol extension, so you use it by just writing a wayland protocol. there are examples in the contrib/ dir in the repo
