Albert Plugin for Hyprland Window Switching

[HarshNarayanJha]

Hey! I made a plugin to quickly switch windows on Hyprland WM. It lists open windows using hyprctl clients and allows switching between them.

One extra feature it currently has is to move any open window to the current workspace, under the alt menu.

Suggestions to improve are highly appreciated!

This is hyprland specific, isn't it? Ain't there a way to abstract it such that it works generally on wayland? In the end it would be cool if we could merge it with the X one.

[HarshNarayanJha]

Yeah, it is. It uses hyprctl under the hood.

If that's something we want, I will look into that. So Wayland's the next target for me...

I tried to use wmctl, but it doesn't produce any output on some setups. Do you know of any such programs?

Anyway, is there any plugin for switching Wi-Fi networks using NetworkManager. I am aware of the vpn plugin that ships with albert, though. Since I am planning to make one

I am actually thinking about doing something similar for macOS, using hammerspoon / lua.

Window switching would be very convenient indeed. I am heavily using Albert for launching / focus applications. Doing the same for windows would be a game changer for me.

Maybe search for the certain app -> ALT as "more options" -> see all open windows listed up, sorted in categories like spaces/minimized.
Or list all open windows categorised in their apps as global via an extra shortcut (could be a cluttered long list)

Cherry on top: Minimising / quitting windows / applications right in Albert.

I would also like to have these unique features. Might try that, but unfortunately it would be impossible to support all window managers perfectly.
