Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

Feature request: Optional GNOME-style multi-monitor workspacesrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:24 UTC via poll

It would be useful to have an optional setting for GNOME-style workspace behavior on multi-monitor setups.

Currently, Hyprland/Omarchy treats workspaces independently per monitor. This means one monitor can be on workspace 1 while another is on workspace 5, and switching workspaces only affects the currently focused monitor.

For some workflows, it makes more sense for a workspace to represent a complete context across all monitors.

For example:

  • Workspace 1 = Project A
  • Left monitor: documentation/browser
  • Center monitor: editor
  • Right monitor: terminal/logs
  • Workspace 2 = Project B
  • Workspace 3 = Personal

In that model, switching from workspace 1 to workspace 2 should switch all monitors together, preserving a complete multi-monitor layout for each workspace.

GNOME calls this behavior "Workspaces on all displays".

I am not suggesting this should replace the current behavior or become the default. It would be great to simply have a toggle/config option such as:

  • Independent workspaces per monitor (current behavior)
  • Workspaces spanning all monitors

This would make Omarchy much more comfortable for users who treat workspaces as semantic contexts rather than independent desktops attached to individual monitors.

If this cannot reasonably be implemented at the Omarchy level and requires upstream Hyprland support, it would also be useful to know that.
