Rust implementation of Hdrop.
demo.mp4
- Hyprland
- Rust >= 1.75
Clone the repository and build:
git clone https://github.com/kjlo/hyprdrop
cd hyprdrop
cargo install --path .This will create a binary in your $HOME/.cargo/bin. You must check that this address it's in your $PATH.
The preferred way to use it is by adding it as a binding to your Hyprland config, like this:
bind = $mainMod, U, exec, hyprdrop alacritty --class alacritty_hyprdrop
Additionally, if you want to launch a TUI application with your terminal:
bind = $mainMod, I, exec, hyprdrop alacritty --class=bottom_hyprdrop --args btm,-b
Note
The argument class name must be a unique name if you want to use as a separate application with special window rules.
Warning
Hyprdrop was initially designed with TUI applications in mind. Theoretically, it should work with
any GUI application. However, one consideration is that it is not usable with the args flag, as
it is specifically designed for terminal emulators.
For better experience you can add some window rules to your Hyprland config. This create a centered floating window with defined size.
windowrulev2 = float, class:^(alacritty_hyprdrop)$
windowrulev2 = center, class:^(alacritty_hyprdrop)$
windowrulev2 = size 1460 810, class:^(alacritty_hyprdrop)$
And some additional rules for TUI apps:
windowrulev2 = float, class:^(bottom_hyprdrop)$
windowrulev2 = center, class:^(bottom_hyprdrop)$
windowrulev2 = size 1460 810, class:^(bottom_hyprdrop)$
