Hyprland toplevel mapping

mapping of toplevels to windows

This protocol allows clients to retrieve the mapping of toplevels to hyprland window addresses.

manager to request toplevel mappings

This object is a manager which offers requests to retrieve a window address for a toplevel.

Argument
Type
Description
handlenew_id<hyprland_toplevel_window_mapping_handle_v1>
toplevelobject<ext_foreign_toplevel_handle_v1>
toplevel to get the window address for
get window address for toplevel

Get the window address for a toplevel.

Argument
Type
Description
handlenew_id<hyprland_toplevel_window_mapping_handle_v1>
toplevelobject<zwlr_foreign_toplevel_handle_v1>
wlr toplevel to get the window address for
get window address for wlr toplevel

Get the window address for a wlr toplevel.

destroy()
destroy the manager

All objects created by the manager will still remain valid, until their appropriate destroy request has been called.


toplevel to window mapping

This object represents a mapping of a (wlr) toplevel to a window address.

Once created, the `window_address` event will be sent containing the address of the window associated with the toplevel. Should the mapping fail, the `failed` event will be sent.

destroy()
destroy handle

Destroy the handle. This request can be sent at any time by the client.

window_address(address_hi: uint, address: uint)
Argument
Type
Description
address_hiuint
upper 32 bits of the window address
addressuint
lower 32 bits of the window address
address of the window

The full 64bit window address. The `address` field contains the lower 32 bits whilst the `address_hi` contains the upper 32 bits

failed()
mapping failed

The mapping of the toplevel to a window address failed. Most likely the window does not exist (anymore).
