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

SUPER+S on an empty workspace opens empty scratchpad, and subsequently opened windows land in the scratchpad instead of workspacerevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:23 UTC via poll

System details

Omarchy 4.0.2-1, Hyprland 0.56.2, kernel 7.1.9-arch1-2

What's wrong?

Pressing SUPER + S ("Toggle scratchpad") while the current workspace has no windows opens the empty scratchpad and, once it is open, newly launched windows open inside the scratchpad instead of on the visible workspace. The user is left staring at an empty workspace while their new window silently goes into the scratchpad.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Make sure your current scratchpad is empty and toggled off.
  2. Switch to a workspace that has no windows.
  3. Press SUPER + S. The empty scratchpad opens even though nothing is in it.
  4. Launch any app (e.g. a terminal via SUPER + ENTER).
  5. Observe the workspace: it is still empty. The window was mapped to special:scratchpad instead.

Verified via hyprctl:
- After step 2: special:scratchpad (id -98) exists with 0 windows and is set as the monitor's open special workspace.
- After step 3: the new client's workspace is {'id': -98, 'name': 'special:scratchpad'}.

Expected behavior

  • When special:scratchpad is empty, SUPER + S should be a no-op (there is nothing to toggle), or at minimum should not redirect subsequently opened windows.
  • New windows opened after toggling should go to the focused regular workspace, not the empty scratchpad.

### System details

 Omarchy 4.0.2-1, Hyprland 0.56.2, kernel 7.1.9-arch1-2

### What's wrong?

Pressing `SUPER + S` ("Toggle scratchpad") while the current workspace has no windows opens the empty scratchpad and, once it is open, newly launched windows open inside the scratchpad instead of on the visible workspace. The user is left staring at an empty workspace while their new window silently goes into the scratchpad.

#### Steps to reproduce

1. Make sure your current scratchpad is empty and toggled off.
2. Switch to a workspace that has no windows.
3. Press `SUPER + S`. The empty scratchpad opens even though nothing is in it.
4. Launch any app (e.g. a terminal via `SUPER + ENTER`).
5. Observe the workspace: it is still empty. The window was mapped to `special:scratchpad` instead.

Verified via `hyprctl`:
- After step 2: `special:scratchpad` (id -98) exists with 0 windows and is set as the monitor's open special workspace.
- After step 3: the new client's workspace is `{'id': -98, 'name': 'special:scratchpad'}`.

#### Expected behavior

- When `special:scratchpad` is empty, `SUPER + S` should be a no-op (there is nothing to toggle), or at minimum should not redirect subsequently opened windows.
- New windows opened after toggling should go to the focused regular workspace, not the empty scratchpad.
