Original report
Problem
omarchy restart app <application-name> kills the application and relaunches it, but the replacement window is not restored to the original Hyprland placement.
For example, I ran:
omarchy restart app t3codeThe original T3 Code window was positioned in a specific workspace layout, outside a window group on the left. After the restart, the replacement window opened inside a different group instead of returning to the original location.
Expected behavior
Restarting an application should preserve, where possible:
- Workspace
- Monitor
- Tiling position
- Group membership or non-membership
- Relative position in the layout
At minimum, the command should document that placement is not preserved, or provide an option to restore it.
Environment
- Omarchy:
4.0.2-1 - Hyprland:
0.56.2-1 - Application:
t3code-bin 0.0.39-1 - Session: Hyprland on Wayland
Additional context
The current restart helper kills the process and launches it again through uwsm-app. It does not appear to capture the original window state before killing the application. A possible implementation could capture the matching client from hyprctl clients -j, restart the application, then apply workspace/group/focus placement once the replacement window appears.
