Hyprland exposes two powerful sockets for you to use.
|
|
|
|
The first, socket1, can be fully controlled with `hyprctl`, see its usage
|
|
[here](../Using-hyprctl).
|
|
|
|
The second, socket2, sends events for certain changes / actions and can be used
|
|
to react to different events. See its description [here](../../IPC/).
|
|
|
|
## Example script
|
|
|
|
This bash script will change the outer gaps to 20 if the currently focused
|
|
monitor is DP-1, and 30 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
|
|
function handle {
|
|
if [[ ${1:0:10} == "focusedmon" ]]; then
|
|
if [[ ${1:12:4} == "DP-1" ]]; then
|
|
hyprctl keyword general:gaps_out 20
|
|
else
|
|
hyprctl keyword general:gaps_out 30
|
|
fi
|
|
fi
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
socat - "UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket2.sock" | while read -r line; do handle "$line"; done
|
|
```
