Scrolling Layout
Scrolling Layout
Scrolling is a layout where windows get positioned on an infinitely growing tape.
Config
category name: scrolling
| name | description | type | default |
|---|---|---|---|
| fullscreen_on_one_column | when enabled, a single column on a workspace will always span the entire screen. | bool | true |
| column_width | the default width of a column, [0.1 - 1.0]. | float | 0.5 |
| focus_fit_method | When a column is focused, what method should be used to bring it into view. 0 = center, 1 = fit | int | 0 |
| follow_focus | when a window is focused, should the layout move to bring it into view automatically | bool | true |
| follow_min_visible | when a window is focused, require that at least a given fraction of it is visible for focus to follow. Hard input (e.g. binds, clicks) will always follow. [0.0 - 1.0] | float | 0.4 |
| explicit_column_widths | A comma-separated list of preconfigured widths for colresize +conf/-conf | str | 0.333, 0.5, 0.667, 1.0 |
| direction | Direction in which new windows appear and the layout scrolls. left/right/down/up | str | right |

Dispatcher layoutmsg params:
| name | description | params |
|---|---|---|
| move | move the layout horizontally, by either a relative logical px (-200, +200) or columns (+col, -col) |
move data |
| colresize | resize the current column, to either a value or by a relative value e.g. 0.5, +0.2, -0.2 or cycle the preconfigured ones with +conf or -conf. Can also be all (number) for resizing all columns to a specific width |
relative float / relative conf |
| fit | executes a fit operation based on the argument. Available: active, visible, all, toend, tobeg |
fit mode |
| focus | moves the focus and centers the layout, while also wrapping instead of moving to neighbring monitors. | direction |
| promote | moves a window to its own new column | none |
| swapcol | Swaps the current column with its neighbor to the left (l) or right (r). The swap wraps around (e.g., swapping the first column left moves it to the end). |
l or r |
| togglefit | Toggle the focus_fit_method (center, fit) | none |
Example key bindings for your Hyprland config:
bind = $mainMod, period, layoutmsg, move +col
bind = $mainMod, comma, layoutmsg, swapcol l
