@reallychris I finally got booted into Hyprland.
The Easymotion plugin I was excited to use was very laggy to start. Then, either "Escape" couldn't be used to exit that mode, or it was very slow to do so. Even when it work it would frequently leave the overlaps up on other windows instead of closing them. Alternatives like `wmfocus` and `sway-easyfocus` start without lag on the same hardware.
The Expo plugin was nice, but also did not allow quitting with Escape by default.
@reallychris That may be the end of my #Hyprland experiment for now.
My issues with Sway are relatively minor and familiar. I've got a lot of other initiatives to pursue besides tuning my desktop.
Still, plenty of interesting ideas in #Hyprland. Besides that it has a plugin system, I liked that you can add formal descriptions of your keybindings and then introspect them via API.
Beginner #SwayWM users have long been interested in a way to search and run their key bindings.
@reallychris This morning I found a middle ground which so far I can easily recommend, which is the #SwayFX fork. https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx
It's a drop-in replacement in that it provides binaries named `sway`, `swaymsg`, etc, and all my existing configuration was compatible. I added just these three lines to my Sway config after switching to the fork:
blur enable
corner_radius 10
shadows enable
I'm still not sure what the `blur` option is doing, though.
@reallychris Looks like the #swayfx `blur` option may be for blurring semi-transparent windows backgrounds, but I'm not interested in that affect so I can just remove that from my config.
