Window split ratio keybind only works with Dwindle layout

[nezumo-tan]

Description

If the tiling layout is changed from Dwindle to Master or Scrolling in:

Settings > Hyprland > Layouts

the default Window Split Ratio keybinds:

• SUPER + ;
• SUPER + '

stop working.

Error message:

Cause

The default illogical-impulse keybinds always use:

hl.dsp.layout("splitratio ...")

but splitratio only works with the Dwindle layout.

The other layouts use different layout messages:

Dwindle → splitratio
Master → mfact
Scrolling → colresize

Temporary fix

A temporary workaround is to override the keybinds in:

~/.config/hypr/custom/keybinds.lua

and make them detect the active layout before sending the appropriate layout message.

Example:

-- Temporary Custom Window Split ratio keybind fix
hl.unbind("SUPER + Semicolon")
hl.unbind("SUPER + Apostrophe")

local function adjustLayoutRatio(delta)
    local layout = hl.get_active_workspace().tiled_layout

    local ratioMessage = ({
        dwindle = "splitratio",
        master = "mfact",
        scrolling = "colresize",
    })[layout]

    if not ratioMessage then
        return
    end

    hl.dispatch(hl.dsp.layout(ratioMessage .. " " .. delta))
end

hl.bind("SUPER + Semicolon", function()
    adjustLayoutRatio("-0.1")
end, { repeating = true })

hl.bind("SUPER + Apostrophe", function()
    adjustLayoutRatio("+0.1")
end, { repeating = true })

This also safely ignores layouts such as Monocle or unsupported/custom layouts.

Permanent fix

This does not appear to be an issue specific to end4-pC.

The affected default keybind is inherited from the upstream illogical-impulse / end-4 dots-hyprland configuration.

The permanent fix should therefore be applied upstream in illogical-impulse's default hyprland/keybinds.lua, so this custom fork can receive the fix normally through upstream updates.

--# Window split ratio
--#/# binde = SUPER, ;/',, -- Adjust split ratio
hl.bind("SUPER + Semicolon", hl.dsp.layout("splitratio -0.1"), { repeating = true })
hl.bind("SUPER + Apostrophe", hl.dsp.layout("splitratio +0.1"), { repeating = true })

P:S
Love your custom hyprland theme. It made me motivated to start learning programming again and learn how to use github lol.
Would love to contribute furthermore in this fork and can't wait for the Wiki of this

check ~/.config/hypr/hyprland/shellOverrides/main.lua It is where the shell stores the Hyprland configuration; you may have conflicts with what you have in your config. You can delete the import if you do not want to use this. -- Shell overrides -- require("hyprland/shellOverrides/main")

i took a look of my current ~/.config/hypr/hyprland/shellOverrides/main.lua and i don't seem to see any conflicts that could be related to the issue.
Altho i do notice this line hl.config({ general = { layout = "master" } }) also correspond to what tiling layout the user selected.

Seeing your screenshot I don't know what config you are using I don't put messages like that in my config

I'm not sure sure this is what you mean with what config i am using but i am using the Hyprland config from the illogical-impulse installation, with end4-pC as the Quickshell config because it's said on the README installation of your end4-pC custom fork that "it does require illogical-impulse to be installed and running. " . I haven't replaced the default ~/.config/hypr/hyprland/keybinds.lua.

I don't put messages like that in my config
You mean this comment in the main.lua?

Isn't this suppose to be from the illogical-impulse?
