Hierarchy of workspace_rules?

[adriankarlen]

Is it possible to have an hierarchy of what workspace an application should snap to?

My issue is that I am using different setups for office and home. At home I have one monitor setup, while at the office I have a multi monitor setup. I'd like to be able to configure komorebi so that if a second monitor is connected, certain applications should be snapped there instead of my single monitor rule-set.

If i am understanding monitor_index_preferences correctly it could be used to specify some rulesets based on a specific monitor, however seeing that my office uses free seating it would be tedious to set up for every monitor since there are like 300 desks.

Example setup:

    "monitors": [
        {
            "workspaces": [
                {
                    "name": "browser",
                    "layout": "BSP",
                    "initial_workspace_rules": [
                        {
                            "kind": "Exe",
                            "id": "firefox.exe"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "name": "chat",
                    "layout": "BSP",
                    "initial_workspace_rules": [
                        {
                            "kind": "Exe",
                            "id": "Slack.exe"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "name": "music",
                    "layout": "BSP",
                    "initial_workspace_rules": [
                        {
                            "kind": "Exe",
                            "id": "Spotify.exe"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            // IF A SECOND MONITOR IS CONNECTED, PRIORITIZE THESE WORKSPACE RULES
            "workspaces": [
                {
                    "name": "browser",
                    "layout": "BSP",
                    "initial_workspace_rules": [
                        {
                            "kind": "Exe",
                            "id": "firefox.exe"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "name": "\ueaef \ued03",
                    "layout": "BSP",
                    "initial_workspace_rules": [
                        {
                            "kind": "Exe",
                            "id": "Spotify.exe"
                        },
                        {
                            "kind": "Exe",
                            "id": "Slack.exe"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]

Very interesting idea, I'd like something like this too. I think a nice way to implement this would be to add an option to the config file that points to a bat or ps1 file that would run and take a single argument, the number of monitors.

This user-defined file could be called whenever a monitor addition/removal is detected, and based on the new number of monitors, the user script could update the workspace rules for various apps as appropriate.
