Hearing your monitor squeal when you got the modelines wrong was fun.
### Multiple binds to one key [](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Binds/#multiple-binds-to-one-key)
You can trigger multiple actions with one keybind by assigning multiple binds to one combination, e.g.:
# to switch between windows in a floating workspace
bind = SUPER,Tab,cyclenext, # change focus to another window
bind = SUPER,Tab,bringactivetotop, # bring it to the top
The keybinds will be executed in the order they were created. (top to bottom)
That’s just the way you write the rules being deprecated, not the functionality.
There is move left/right within a workspace, move to specific workspace and then move to next/previous workspace (from memory using e+1 as the workspace name in the command but might be misremembering). Admittedly this isn’t exactly the same as what you want; I replied from my mobile and checked when I went back to my desk. I usually use meta/shift/[num] to send to a specific workspace though as I make heavy use of them.
I have workspaces pinned to monitors in Hyprland and have none of the problems you mentioned. I use odd numbers for left screen and even numbers for right.
Edit: just took a look and can’t find mention of the depreciation; where did you read that?
Thanks for the summary! Good luck with the project 👍
How does this compare to wlroots?
I absolutely love Hyprland but have no respect for Vaxry beyond his coding ability.
I really hope someone starts a good fork of it, I haven’t found another wm I like as much but I hate to be seen as supporting that awful person.
You can also play with it in a virtual machine. It won’t give you quite the same experience for your specific hardware, but you will get a feel for how it works, especially the package manager etc.
Sometimes they need to be upset before they realise what they did wrong.
