03:54 <Tekk> I'm sure I just missed it somewhere, but does river have a vertical stack available?

03:54 <Tekk> So like main window is on top, non-main windows arranged below it

04:41 <NickH> That sounds like a feature of whatever layout manager you are using

05:26 <yi> Hi everyone. I have a question about using an external monitor. I want river to automatically switch to the external monitor output when I plug in my laptop to an external monitor, and currently my solution is to use wlr-randr to manually disable the built-in monitor so that river automatically picks up the external one as the main display. This is

05:26 <yi> not ideal, because (1) I have to do it every time I plug in my laptop to the monitor; (2) my tags on the menu bar don't automatically jump to the external display, so I have to manually kill the bar and launch it again. I'm wondering if there's any way to achieve this using riverctl. Any help is very appreciated :]

05:57 <NickH> I think most people use kanshi for that (at least I do)

05:57 <NickH> See https://git.sr.ht/~emersion/kanshi/refs or your package manager

05:59 <NickH> Also see https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/master/pages/Recommended-Software.md#output-configuration

06:07 <NickH> Tekk: See https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/master/pages/Community-Layouts.md

06:08 <NickH> If I undestand what you are describing, then I know that at least stacktile can do it

06:08 <NickH> It's likely some of the other one can too

06:51 <yi> Sounds good! I'll check them out. Thanks for the response.

06:55 <LarstiQ> I too use kanshi (though I extend, not turn off the laptop monitor)

13:37 <Tekk> NickH: Stacktile looks like it might be it. I'll look into it later.

13:39 <novakane> Tekk: isn't rivertile main-location top what you want?

15:34 <LarstiQ> or any of the other layout generators (some of which are easily user extensible)

21:30 <NickH> Tekk specified the windows should be arranged in a "stack". Didn't ask about tiling. But maybe there is a terminology mismatch...

21:33 <Tekk> Top was what I wanted, just phrased it poorly I think.

21:33 <Tekk> (I think "stack" was the term for that layout in dwm?)

22:47 <NickH> Tekk: so you want something like: https://0x0.st/XHqW.txt

22:48 <NickH> If so, that is what novakane is describing and is provided by pretty much every layout genrator
