# hyprfocus

a plugin which provides focus animations for us borderless folks, originally inspired by [flashfocus](https://github.com/fennerm/flashfocus)!

i'm on a tight schedule, so pull requests are welcome!

## compilation & installation

instructions based on [the official wiki](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Plugins/Using-Plugins/#compiling-official-plugins)

### hyprpm

**1) add hyprfocus**

`hyprpm add https://github.com/VortexCoyote/hyprfocus`

**2) verify that it's installed**

`hyprpm list`

**3) enable it and reload**

`hyprpm enable hyprfocus && hyprpm reload`

**4) (OPTIONAL) make sure plugins are loaded at startup**

this goes into you hyprland config: 

```exec-once = hyprpm reload -n```

### manual

**1) clone hyprfocus and cd into it**

`git clone https://github.com/VortexCoyote/hyprfocus && cd hyprfocus`

**2) clone hyprland and cd into it**

`git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland && cd Hyprland`

**3) checkout the correct release tag matching with your version of hyprland**

`git checkout tags/v0.26.0`

**4) prepare the hyprland source for plugin compilation**

`make all && sudo make installheaders`

**5) cd back and make**

`cd .. && make all`

**6) profit,** make sure you use the full path to the .so file

`hyprctl plugin load `

**If you compile hyprland manually and install with `sudo make install` you can skip the cloning hyprland sources and `make pluginenv` part.**

## getting started

to start using hyprfocus, add this to your hyprland config:

```

plugin = 

plugin:hyprfocus {

    enabled = yes

    keyboard_focus_animation = shrink

    mouse_focus_animation = flash

    bezier = bezIn, 0.5,0.0,1.0,0.5

    bezier = bezOut, 0.0,0.5,0.5,1.0

    flash {

        flash_opacity = 0.7

        in_bezier = bezIn

        in_speed = 0.5

        out_bezier = bezOut

        out_speed = 3

    }

    shrink {

        shrink_percentage = 0.8

        in_bezier = bezIn

        in_speed = 0.5

        out_bezier = bezOut

        out_speed = 3

    }

}

```

### plugin configuration 

`enabled` (yes/no) -> enable or disable the plugin

`keyboard_focus_animation` (flash/shrink/nothing) -> animation for keyboard-driven focus

`mouse_focus_animation` (flash/shrink/nothing) -> animation for mouse pressed focus (setting input:follow_mouse = 0, input:float_switch_override_focus = 0 and input:mouse_refocus = false is recommended)

### animations configuration

animations can be configured within the plugin scope with the following syntax:

```

plugin:hyprfocus {

     {

    }

}

```

### shared animation variables

`in_bezier` (bezier) -> bezier curve towards the animation apex

`out_bezier` (bezier) -> bezier curve towards the default window state

`in_speed` (float) -> speed for the 'in' bezier

`out_speed` (float) -> speed for the 'out' bezier

### flash

`flash_opacity` (float) -> opacity to during the flash's apex

### shrink

`shrink_percentage` (float) -> the amount a window has shrunk during the animation's apex

### dispatching

hyprfocus can also flash the currently focused window through the `animatefocused` dispatcher:

```

bind = $mod, space, animatefocused

```

## future plans

I'm mostly planning on implementing more animations, for example a popin-popout bounce animation. But if you have any suggestions, feel free to create a git issue!
