  • edit: based on the other commenter I think I might be missing a simpler declarative way to do this. The following will be kept for posterity though


    The main idea is:

    1. Use Window Titler to add a title. For me, if I want it on workspace 7, I title the window “7”. (NOTE: The title will probably appear like [title], see below)
    2. Make a script that queries the window manager, and then dispatches a movement to the appropriate workspace. In Hyprland that might be hyprctl -j which gives
    ... json blahblah
    "title": "[7] What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has? - tchncs — Mozilla Firefox"
    ... json blahblah
    

    but in Sway it might be something similar to using swaymsg. Only titled windows will have the bracket number thing so just regex that part

    1. Put it in autostart. Because Firefox takes a while to load on my junk machine I sleep for like 30 seconds to a minute before all the titles register.

  • pasting from my keybind config

    # snippet based on end4 dotfiles -- FIXME edge case where a
    #     preexisting tmp.png might be overwritten
    # English
    bind = Super+Shift,T,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l eng "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
    # Korean
    bind = Super+Shift,K,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l kor "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
    # Japanese
    bind = Super+Shift,J,exec,grim -g "$(slurp $SLURP_ARGS)" "tmp.png" && tesseract -l jpn "tmp.png" - | wl-copy && rm "tmp.png"
    

    I just pipe grim and slurp (i.e. select part of the Wayland screen then copy) into a temporary png, tesseract it into the clipboard, then delete the temporary png.
