GlazeWM v3.1.0 Hyprland config

config.yaml

# The goal for this GlazeWM v3.1.0 config is to match Hyprland's default config as best as possible
# Hyprland sets the $mainMod to SUPER by default, we can't use the SUPER key in windows very easily
# as it causes lots of issues. Instead we bind everything to F24 and then bind the windows key to F24
# using PowerToys' Keyboard Manager.
# Please note that many things are not supported, the bottom of the file contains everything which either
# I couldn't figure out or isn't possible in GlazeWM

general:
  # Commands to run when the WM has started (e.g. to run a script or launch
  # another application). Here we are running a batch script to start Zebar.

  # Auto start browser

  # Whether to automatically focus windows underneath the cursor.

  # Whether to switch back and forth between the previously focused
  # workspace when focusing the current workspace.
  toggle_workspace_on_refocus: true

  cursor_jump:
    # Whether to automatically move the cursor on the specified trigger.
    enabled: true

    # Trigger for cursor jump:
    # - 'monitor_focus': Jump when focus changes between monitors.
    # - 'window_focus': Jump when focus changes between windows.
    trigger: 'window_focus'

gaps:
  # Gap between adjacent windows.
  inner_gap: '5px'

  # `set-floating`, are used without any flags.
  state_defaults:
    floating:
      # Whether to center floating windows by default.
      centered: true

      # Whether to show floating windows as always on top.
