Workspace Groups
Section titled “Workspace Groups”Navigation & Workspace Management
Section titled “Navigation & Workspace Management”If 10 workspaces aren’t enough for you, you can use the next set of workspaces, up to Hyprland’s limit. To start, simply over-scroll the workspace widget on the bar to the right (or use keybinds) to switch to a new group.
Keybinds and shell widgets work seamlessly in the focused workspace group. You don’t have to configure anything extra if you don’t change the number of workspaces shown on the workspace indicator or the overview.
-
Navigating / moving workspaces within a group: Standard Hyprland keybinds apply.
Super+2→ workspace 12 if you’re in workspace 11-20 (group 2).Super+Alt+3silently moves focused window → workspace 23 if you’re in workspace 21-30 (group 3).
-
Navigating between groups:
- Consider adding following Hyprland keybinds for jumping to adjacent workspace groups
~/.config/hypr/custom/keybinds.conf
bind = SUPER ALT, Z, workspace, r-10 bind = SUPER ALT, X, workspace, r+10
- Consider adding following Hyprland keybinds for jumping to adjacent workspace groups
-
The Overview and Workspace indicator adapt seamlessly. The shown content is based on the current workspace group.
Multi-Monitor Considerations
Section titled “Multi-Monitor Considerations”Consider these strategies for effective multi-monitor management:
- Allocate group 1 (workspaces 1-10) to primary monitor while group 2 (workspaces 11-20) to secondary monitor:
- On startup, manually move the starting workspace on the secondary monitor into the second group (e.g., workspace 11) using
Super+0, thenCtrl+Super+Right. - In effect, this will also create separate overview widget per monitor.
- On startup, manually move the starting workspace on the secondary monitor into the second group (e.g., workspace 11) using
- Use workspace binding to always place specific workspaces on specific monitors. Get all your monitor names using
hyprctl monitors | grep Monitor.~/.config/custom/general.conf# Bind workspaces 1-10 (group 1) to primary monitor workspace = 1, monitor:eDP-1, default:true workspace = 2, monitor:eDP-1, default:true ... # Bind workspaces 11-20 (group 2) to secondary monitor workspace = 11, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true workspace = 12, monitor:HDMI-A-1, default:true ... - Focus on two workspaces at a time on each monitor and move/swap windows across monitor/groups (using
Super+Left/Right/Up/DownorSuper+Shift+Left/Right/Up/Down) as needed.
