qutebrowser is not being tiled

[ddevaal]

qutebrowser is not being tiled by aerospace. It was problematic in Yabai too. I fixed this in yabai with yabai -m rule --add app="^qutebrowser$" title!="^$" role="AXWindow" subrole="AXDialog" manage=on space=web How can I do something similar in aerospace? I'm running v0.8.4-Beta 4951cbc

How can I do something similar in aerospace?

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser'
run = 'layout tiling'

Worked like a charm. Thanks @nikitabobko!

It makes me upset that qutebrowser says that its subrole is AXDialog. I've not seen apps that misbehave that badly

The app just explicitly reports that it's a dialog. Well, yes, of course AeroSpace will float it by default, and so does yabai

I have IDs of some popular apps already hardcoded in the source code https:/nikitabobko/AeroSpace/blob/main/src/tree/MacWindow.swift#L205

I've heard about qutebrowser before. By itself, the app is already popular enough, to hardcode its ID in AeroSpace approximations. But the app is even more popular among vim/tiling-wm/hacker folks.

But I'm thinking whether I want to encourage that kind of evil misbehavior by hardcoding org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser ID in AeroSpace

Yes I was kind of surprised I couldn't find anything about qutebrowser in Aerospace. I have no idea why qutebrowser does this. Maybe we should file a bug report. You will run into more situations like this where applications simply misbehave. At the end of the day you want to give users of Aerospace the best experience possible. Maybe this bug report is already enough.

@ddevaal, are you using the hide_decoration option in qutebrowser?

@ddevaal, are you using the hide_decoration option in qutebrowser?

qutebrowser/qutebrowser#4067

Yes! So this is the problem.

[johnallen3d]

Yes, I believe so @ddevaal. My assumption is based entirely on this comment from @koekeishiya.

[nikitabobko]

qutebrowser should be tiled by default since 0.9.0 (no special callback is needed)
