HyprExpo to respect number of workspaces

[msmafra]

Don't know what is possible or not.

Hi, as a Gnome user for years, the Gnome Overview is my way to use a desktop, but also, Hyprland made me want tiling everywhere. I haven´t found anything close to Gnome's Overview (Plasma's one definitely not close) and I thought I could use Hyprexpo as a simpler replacement. Mind you, I don't want it to be Gnome Overview, for me it would be awesome, but is not what I expect.
Unfortunately, Hyprexpo works in a weird way, sometimes makes me feel lost and not useful for me.

For example, it just show the current desktop from which you activated Hyprexpo, not showing miniatures of what is inside the other workspaces. Because of that, I don't even know if is possible to move windows between workspaces when on Hyprexpo.

Another example setting the first as the current workspace but and losing its "thumbs", making you think for a moment that everything closed because there is not graphical representation of the workspace you came from any more.

It also, in my case with Waybar, most of the time doesn't show on which desktop you are after switching and/or switching back, it shows what were at the workspace you click via Hyprexpo, but interactions with mouse reveal that you are actually just with the programs open, not the original workspace where they actually are, making click on some buttons, fields etc feel like a browser, for example, is frozen. And the "fix" is to use your assigned dispatcher to go to the correct workspace.

Setting the current workspace as first or centre of the grid is already confusing, at least for me. It would be nice, less confusing, if it had have configurations for or respected the number of workspaces set, or used at the moment numbering them keeping their sequence.

I search for similar plug-ins but, most of them requires me to build them and most of them, at the time, were not listing the correct/full list of dependencies or requirements and I where not able to install via Hyprpm. Furthermore, some don't get update, are locked to specific versions of Hyprpand or even require to be on Hyprland-git.

Sorry if I made things more confusing with my "exemplifications".

Based on what you're saying, you're looking for something like https://github.com/KZDKM/Hyprspace.

Tried to install months back, no success and still not installable, as usually happens, when I try to something via hyprpm

@msmafra A bit late I know, but you could try running hyprpm update --no-shallow, that worked for me.

Unfortunately nor for me.
