From 9a90afb6e88e9b47aad9b79e0c499fee58714412 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikhil Jain Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 01:25:14 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] New window replaces the current fullscreen or maximized window (#2821) * New window replaces the current fullscreen or maximized window Currently if we are in fullscreen or full-width mode and either start a new application OR create a new window of an existing application. Like an incognito window Then those new windows/apps start in the background. There is no indication that something new has been created. IMHO, if I am opening an application then I want to switch to it. I cannot think of any common use case for having new applications open in the background. This change will cause new application to replace current application as the fullscreen / fullwidth window Please see docs: https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Variables/#misc Option: new_window_takes_over_fullscreen Desc: if there is a fullscreen or maximized window, decide whether a new tiled window opened should replace it, stay behind or disable the fullscreen/maximized state. 0 - behind, 1 - takes over, 2 - unfullscreen/unmaxize [0/1/2] Type: int Default: 0 * fix the setting name --- default/hypr/looknfeel.conf | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/default/hypr/looknfeel.conf b/default/hypr/looknfeel.conf index 823a1121..44bfbd39 100644 --- a/default/hypr/looknfeel.conf +++ b/default/hypr/looknfeel.conf @@ -120,6 +120,7 @@ misc { disable_splash_rendering = true focus_on_activate = true anr_missed_pings = 3 + new_window_takes_over_fullscreen = 1 } # https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Variables/#cursor
