Fix HUD menus and cursor telemetry on Linux Wayland (Hyprland/Omarchy) - #860
Fix HUD menus and cursor telemetry on Linux Wayland (Hyprland/Omarchy)#860Nuu-maan wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Linux has no hover-driven mouse passthrough, so the HUD lives in a compact 160px window and its popover menus were clipped. The earlier attempt to grow the window on hover (shipped in 1.3.3) made the bar jump away from the pointer on Wayland, because Hyprland re-centres a floating window that resizes itself and the bar was anchored to the window bottom. Grow the window only while a popover is open, and on Wayland anchor the bar to the window centre so it stays put through the resize.
uiohook only sees XWayland clients, so under a Wayland session it reports no pointer motion or clicks and auto-zoom and click effects have nothing to work with. Poll Hyprland's socket for the pointer position and read mouse buttons from /dev/input devices that advertise BTN_LEFT.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds Linux Wayland cursor and mouse-button capture, platform-specific HUD resize anchoring, menu-state IPC synchronization, related tests, and Arch Linux, Omarchy, and Hyprland setup documentation. ChangesWayland telemetry and HUD support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR improves Linux Wayland HUD behavior and cursor telemetry, but its recording path may observe mouse-button activity from other sessions on shared or multi-seat systems when those input devices are readable; this bounded permission and session-scoping risk should be explicitly accepted or followed up. The README also needs minor syntax corrections for the documented Hyprland configuration. Sequence Diagram(s)Wayland interaction capturesequenceDiagram

Hyprland current window rules syntax match: conditions before effects windowrule documentation
💡 Result:
In modern Hyprland configurations (as of version 0.53.0 and later), the previous windowrule and windowrulev2 systems have been consolidated into a unified windowrule syntax [1][2]. The syntax now strictly separates matching conditions from the effects (properties) to be applied [1][3]. Syntax Structure You can define window rules using either a named block format or an anonymous single-line format [1][3]. 1. Named Rule Syntax: windowrule { name = rule-name match:class = regex effect_property = value } 2. Anonymous Rule Syntax: windowrule = match:class regex, effect_property value Key Syntax Rules Conditions (Matches): All conditions must be prefixed with match: (e.g., match:class, match:title, match:workspace) [1][3]. You must declare at least one match condition for the rule to function [1][3]. Effects (Properties): These are the properties you want to apply to the matching windows (e.g., border_size, float, center) [1][3]. Separation: In the anonymous syntax, you chain conditions and effects using commas [1][2]. Because of the explicit match: prefix, Hyprland can distinguish between matching criteria and the desired effects [1][3]. Migration Note If you are migrating from older configurations, note that windowrulev2 is deprecated [2]. You should convert your rules to the new format [2]. For example, a previous rule like windowrulev2 = float,class:(kitty) should be updated to windowrule = match:class kitty, float on (or simply adjusting to the new match: syntax) [2][4]. There are community-maintained converters available to assist with this transition if you have a large configuration file [2]. For detailed information on available match fields (such as match:initial_class, match:tag, or match:fullscreen) and their corresponding effects, refer to the official Hyprland Wiki's Configuring/Window-Rules section [1][3].

Update the plain Hyprland rule syntax.
The hyprland.conf block uses the pre-0.53.0 syntax. For Hyprland 0.53.0 and later, use match: conditions before the effects, or state the required older version.

Problem
On Omarchy (Arch + Hyprland, Wayland) the recording HUD is unusable:
setHudOverlayFallbackExpandedfrom e2802bf). Wayland ignores the repositioned bounds, Hyprland re-centres a floating window that resizes itself, and the bar (anchored to the window bottom) jumps ~190px away from the pointer, collapses, and oscillates. With the HUD at its default bottom-of-screen position the bar ends up off-screen entirely. The revert in d2796fb stopped the resize, but that leaves the popover menus clipped inside the 160px window.alwaysOnTopis ignored on Wayland.Changes
hud-overlay-set-menu-openIPC), never on hover. On Wayland the bar is anchored to the window centre (paddingBottom: calc(50vh - 60px)) so the compositor's centre-anchored resize leaves it in place; X11 keeps the bottom-anchored layout. The anchor is reported through the existingget-hud-overlay-mouse-passthrough-supportedhandler.j/cursorpos) for the pointer position and read mouse buttons from/dev/inputdevices that advertiseBTN_LEFT(needs theinputgroup, which Omarchy grants by default). Other compositors keep the existing fallback.WHISPER_RUNTIME_ALLOW_MISSING=1, and Hyprland window rules (pin,noblur,noshadow,nodim,opacity 1 1,bordersize 0) for therecordly/Recordlyclass.Fixes #600 and #638. Related: #772 (same root cause, Niri untested) and #34 (pointer position is Hyprland-only for now).
Testing
