01:42 <leon-p> FWIW Firefox right now has massive memory leak issues on certain popular video websites owbed by google. No idea why, but high memory usage in Firefox directly leads to high CPU usage. Which ib turn makes it incredibly ubresponsive. On my workstation it's pretty common to see Firefox windows lag behind resizes by multiple seconds. Sometimes you need to refocus them. Because of how the transaction

01:42 <leon-p> system works, Firefox in such a state will actually cause all of river to lag.

01:43 <leon-p> Oh, a lot of thise b's should be n's. Small phone keyboard...

11:07 <hamlet> Hello, I am coming from Hyprland and try to set up river. I'm using a non-us keyboard layout and cannot change tags. Can you change workspace / tag independently of your keyboard layout by using the key location? In hypr, I could switch to a new workspace by using 10 for the 1 key, 11 for the 2 key, etc in the config file. Is there a similar

11:07 <hamlet> functionality in river?

11:09 <LarstiQ> hamlet: I'm not sure I understand, you can bind tag switching to whichever key you want?

11:09 <hamlet> LarstiQ

11:12 <LarstiQ> just `riverctl map normal <your preference of keys> set-focused-tags $tags` where $tags is the right bitmask

11:16 <hamlet> LarstiQ Sorry that I wasn't clear. I want to use the location of the key instead of the symbol given by the key. For me 1 is ", 2 is «, 3 is », etc. In know that this symbol have weird names that I could put in the init, but I also change keyboard layout for programming, so it will not work then. It would be more convenient if I could use the

11:16 <hamlet> location of the key instead, if that is possible at all in river.

11:18 <LarstiQ> aha, so you switch between layouts and want to use the same physical keys for bindings (possibly without duplicating mappings)

11:18 <LarstiQ> I assume this is not possible but I'll glance at the code

11:18 <tiosgz> hamlet: riverctl map has a -layout index flag which basically lets you specify the position

11:18 <LarstiQ> thankfully tiosgz actually knows :)

11:19 <tiosgz> you just use a symbol in the particular layout

11:20 <LarstiQ> so you must also use `keyboard-layout` to match?

11:22 <tiosgz> well if you have layouts us,fr, you specify e.g. `map -layout 0 Super 1` which will then use whatever's at that position even if your current layout changes to fr

11:23 <tiosgz> i don't think it matters whether you use riverctl or the env var to configure your layouts

11:24 <hamlet> Thank you both :]

21:49 <The_Buhs> Can someone help me set up some rules for assigning windows to tags? I think I don't understand how the bit mask works

21:49 <The_Buhs> Actually maybe I do now lol

21:50 <The_Buhs> So, to assign an app-id to open on tag 9, I can just do `... tag $((1 << (9 - 1)))`?

21:50 <The_Buhs> or just straight up put 512, ig
