Hyprsplit Workspaces

An Omarchy Quickshell bar-widget plugin that shows a per-monitor workspace indicator, instead of Omarchy's built-in omarchy.workspaces widget which shows one global 1-10 strip on every bar.

It's built around named workspaces of the form hyprsplit-<monitor name>-<slot>, driven by keybinds you define yourself (e.g. SUPER+1..SUPER+5 per monitor). Each bar instance only displays the slots belonging to the monitor it's on.

Why not the real hyprsplit plugin?

The hyprsplit Hyprland plugin gives you this behavior natively, but it doesn't work under configs that use Hyprland's Lua config loader (it fails with [hyprsplit] Only legacy config supported). This widget reproduces the same idea — independent per-monitor workspace numbering — entirely with named workspaces and keybinds, no compositor plugin required.

Requirements

• Omarchy with Quickshell

• Hyprland keybinds that focus per-monitor named workspaces using the hyprsplit-<monitor name>-<slot> naming scheme this widget expects, e.g. in ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua:

  local hyprsplitWorkspaceCount = 5
  
  -- for each monitor and each slot 1..hyprsplitWorkspaceCount, bind
  -- SUPER+<slot> to focus (or create) workspace
  -- "hyprsplit-<monitor name>-<slot>" on that monitor

  The workspaceCount setting below must match hyprsplitWorkspaceCount in your bindings file.

Install

Clone this repo into your Omarchy plugins directory:

git clone https://github.com/Maduki-tech/hyprsplit-workspaces-quickshell.git \
  ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/local.hyprsplit-workspaces

Then, in Omarchy's bar settings, swap the omarchy.workspaces widget for Hyprsplit Workspaces.

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
workspaceCount	5	Number of workspace slots per monitor. Must match hyprsplitWorkspaceCount in bindings.lua.

Uninstall / revert

Remove the plugin directory, or swap the bar widget back to omarchy.workspaces, to return to Omarchy's built-in indicator:

rm -rf ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/local.hyprsplit-workspaces
