WindowSwitcher

A small rust CLI tool to switch windows in hyperland.

Can switch through all windows or windows of same class in regular or reverse order.

Installation

cargo install window_switcher

Usage

Once the binary is installed, you can modify your ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf. Here are some samples:

  • simple config
# switches to next window in (top left -> bottom right) order
bind = ALT, TAB, exec, $HOME/.cargo/bin/window_switcher

# switches to next window in (top left -> bottom right) order
bind = ALT CTRL, TAB, exec, $HOME/.cargo/bin/window_switcher --same-class
  • with reverse binds
# switches to next window in (top left -> bottom right) order
bind = ALT, TAB, exec, $HOME/.cargo/bin/window_switcher

# switches to next window in (bottom right -> top left) order
bind = ALT SHIFT, TAB, exec, $HOME/.cargo/bin/window_switcher --reverse

# switches to next window of same class in (top left -> bottom right) order
bind = ALT CTRL, TAB, exec, $HOME/.cargo/bin/window_switcher --same-class

# switches to next window of same class in (bottom right -> top left) order
bind = ALT CTRL SHIFT, TAB, exec, $HOME/.cargo/bin/window_switcher --reverse --same-class

The script accepts 2 parameters: --same-class and --reverse.

  • --same-class will only switch between windows of the same class.
  • --reverse will reverse the order of the windows.
