17:30 <aviva> Hey all, trying to figure out a way to focus incoming window when using a sticky tag

17:31 <aviva> the usecase is having a floating terminal that comes and goes, it feels really nice except I need to focus the terminal after bringing it into view

17:32 <aviva> current config here: https://github.com/a-viv-a/nixfiles/blob/main/river/init

19:06 <tiosgz> aviva: there's no good solution for that currently. the only hack i can think of is to focus only the scratchpad and immediately add currently focused tags (available via river-status) to it, but that's very ugly

19:07 <tiosgz> if you only want a terminal though, some terminals can do something similar via layer-shell (i think the keyword is drop-down here)

19:54 <lordmzte> Is there any way to make a window stretch across all (3) monitors on river? It's quite handy when gaming.

22:26 <Guest89> hello, I'm having trouble setting the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to "river". The example I have been able to find for this said to use this: `riverctl spawn "systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=river` but it doesn't work on my system. Can anyone help with this?

22:53 <aviva> tiosgz: thank you, that is an interesting idea--my hope was to use the setup for more than just terminals, so I'm interested in a more general solution. Would a PR be accepted to enable this usecase or is this the kind of thing that would fall under rewrite?
