Jetbrains windows rules fix

[ludo237]

I'm opening this discussion as suggested to help people who are searching for this fixes online, I opened a PR but I agree it makes more sense to talk about here in order to avoid too many configurations on the defaults.

This is the list of fixes for all Jetbrains products, including Toolbox

# Fix all dialogs in Jetbrains products
windowrulev2 = tag +jb, class:^jetbrains-.+$,floating:1
windowrulev2 = stayfocused, tag:jb
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus, tag:jb
windowrulev2 = focusonactivate,class:^jetbrains-(?!toolbox)

# center the pops excepting context menu
windowrulev2 = move 30% 30%,class:^jetbrains-(?!toolbox),title:^(?!win.*),floating:1
windowrulev2 = size 40% 40%,class:^jetbrains-(?!toolbox),title:^(?!win.*),floating:1

# fix tab dragging (always have a single space character as their title)
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus, class:^(.*jetbrains.*)$, title:^\\s$
windowrulev2 = nofocus, class:^(.*jetbrains.*)$, title:^\\s$

The only thing that is missing here is a fix for the "Go To File|Class|Directory" modal window that spawn collapsed by default, so if you have a solution for that feel free to answer

Why not ship it as an opt-in?

I use Hyperland -c ~/config/hypr/wrapper.conf where I introduce my tweaks around omarchy defaults like so:

source = ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

source = ~/.config/hypr/jetbrains.conf

env = SSH_AUTH_SOCK,$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent.socket
env = GDK_SCALE,1

There will be more applications that require additional configuration and tweaking. Rather than trying to maintain support for each one within Omarchy, it might be better to have a centralised forum or collection where users can share their submitted configs.

As an example from the AI space, I like some of the ideas behind promptz.dev — it allows users to share various constructed prompts (though it’s focus is Amazon Q).

Aside from the Arch Wiki and its forums, I think this kind of resource is missing. It could be extremely valuable for new users who want to search for an application and see community-submitted configurations for it.

I think things are in early stages and moving fast - omarchy, hyprland and arch. Modularization/Separation is hard. I think whatever comes next in this regard should be a small step unless someone commits to maintainance.

That was what I had in mind when i came up with the wrapper, which I think is low hanging fruit. Another omarchy community repo plugging in may be as well.

Ok, i've dug into this a bit.

1. make sure you are running intellij with WAYLAND, not X11.
2. don't install from repository => just install the toolbox
3. install via jetbrains toolbox
4. open ide
5. hyprctl clients make sure it says xwayland: 0 for your intellij ide
6. if not: help => custom vm options => add -Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit

Problems should be gone now. No need for custom window rules.

This setting fixes some of the issues, but it is still experimental and has known bugs and limitations. For example, drag and drop is still broken after applying this fix. Additionally, this must be set of every IDE and I can't find a way to apply it to toolbox.

These window rules fixed all of the bugs for me:

# Hyprland window rules for Jetbrains

# Fix all dialogs in Jetbrains products
windowrulev2 = tag +jb, class:^jetbrains-.+$,floating:1
windowrulev2 = stayfocused, tag:jb
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus, tag:jb
windowrulev2 = focusonactivate,class:^jetbrains-(?!toolbox)

# center the pops excepting context menu
windowrulev2 = move 30% 30%,class:^jetbrains-(?!toolbox),title:^(?!win.*),floating:1
windowrulev2 = size 40% 40%,class:^jetbrains-(?!toolbox),title:^(?!win.*),floating:1

# Fix tooltips (always have a title of `win.<id>`)
# Fix for sidebar menus being unclickable
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus, class:^(.*jetbrains.*)$, title:^(win.*)$
windowrulev2 = nofocus, class:^(.*jetbrains.*)$, title:^(win.*)$
# Fix tab dragging (always have a single space character as their title)
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus, class:^(.*jetbrains.*)$, title:^\\s$
windowrulev2 = nofocus, class:^(.*jetbrains.*)$, title:^\\s$
# Additional fixes for tab dragging
windowrulev2 = tag +jb, class:^jetbrains-.+$,floating:1
windowrulev2 = stayfocused, tag:jb
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus, tag:jb

This doesn't fix the issue when you have to deal with multiple floating panels.
For example in PHPstorm when you open settings, then try to add a new PHP cli interpreter a new floating window opens up and anything you type activates the first floating panel (the settings one)

I still have no fixes for this

Trying to get back to work, I need to correct myself.

I absolutely need -Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit, Without it, it does not pick up the hyperland keyboard mapping, and I only get the default querty and really weird sized things when running with two very different displays.

Also added the rules @zaneschepke suggested.

Trying out the two floating panels scenario @ludo237 mentioned (adding a new jdk in my case), the second panel does not even appear for me now.

After a quick glimpse for hyprland on youtrack, there appear to be a few closely related issues.

I've added some new rules above (included your rules for the floating panels) as I was also having issues with panels. There is still some strange behavior, but most things are working now. I think I had a similar issue to you in Intellij IDEA and I worked around it by super + click to drag the second window and change focus. Not sure if this will work for PHPstorm.

Using one config, I currently seeing no more issues on one system. The other one still has the "Don't see second panel (path browser)" issue. So yes, still some strange behavior. ;)
