Description

Since upgrading to 0.37.1-1 one of my scripts broke. It was supposed to toggle my touchpad (and deactivate it if a mouse was detected via another script) and now it can't find the variable anymore.

my script

#!/bin/sh

# When executed toggle touchpad state

# Set device to be toggled
HYPRLAND_DEVICE="pixa3854:00-093a:0274-touchpad"
HYPRLAND_VARIABLE="device:$HYPRLAND_DEVICE:enabled"

if [ -z "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" ]; then
  export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)
fi

# Check if device is currently enabled (1 = enabled, 0 = disabled)
DEVICE="$(hyprctl getoption $HYPRLAND_VARIABLE | grep 'int: 1')"

if [ -z "$DEVICE" ]; then
    # if the device is disabled, then enable
      # notify-send -u normal "Enabling Touchpad"
    hyprctl keyword $HYPRLAND_VARIABLE true
else
    # if the device is enabled, then disable
    # notify-send -u normal "Disabling Touchpad"
    hyprctl keyword $HYPRLAND_VARIABLE false
fi

My script just results in:
config option <device:pixa3854:00-093a:0274-touchpad:enabled> does not exist. which just plain confuses me

How to reproduce

Use the script above on a touchpad device, I don't have another machine to try this on sadly.

Currently you have to do this. #4283

[ZweiEuro]

@sungyoonc Why do i need to add this now and not in earlier versions ?

[sungyoonc]

Because of hyprlang changes on #4656 (in v0.36.0).

[ZweiEuro]

okay so i need to use some temporary file somewhere and i can't cleanly query the status of the input device anymore from hyprland directly?

[sungyoonc]

As far as I know, yes.

on hyprlang-git you can device[nameofdevice]:prop
