raise

Run or raise implemented for Hyprland. It will raise window if it exists, or cycle to next window if current window matches class to focus. Otherwise it will launch new window.

$ raise
Usage: raise -c <class> -e <launch>

Raise window if it exists, otherwise launch new window.

Options:
  -c, --class       class to focus
  -e, --launch      command to launch
  --help            display usage information

Install raise

There are multiple ways to install this:

1. Go to releases
2. cargo install --git https://github.com/knarkzel/raise
3. Add github:knarkzel/raise as a flake to your NixOS configuration

For NixOS, add raise to your flake inputs:

inputs = {
  raise.url = "github:knarkzel/raise";
};

Then add it to your system, for instance: environment.systemPackages = [raise.defaultPackage.x86_64-linux];

Example configuration

I like having Super + <key> bound to run or raise, and Super + Shift + <key> to launch application regularly.

bind = SUPER, V, exec, raise --class "Alacritty" --launch "alacritty"
bind = SUPER_SHIFT, V, exec, alacritty
bind = SUPER, C, exec, raise --class "firefox" --launch "firefox"
bind = SUPER_SHIFT, C, exec, firefox
bind = SUPER, F, exec, raise --class "emacs" --launch "emacsclient --create-frame"
bind = SUPER_SHIFT, F, exec, emacsclient --create-frame

How to find class?

Run hyprctl clients while window is open, and look for class: <class>.
