Niri

Undocumented and Uncommon Tips

• One can expand a column horizontally, vertically or both by doublie right-clicking while holding the Modifier key and placing the cursor inside the window in the desired direction.

• One can focus windows into the adjacent monitor when reaching a workspace end by using the following Niri actions, focus-column-or-monitor-<direction> and move-column-<direction>-or-monitor-<direction>. The direction can be any of “right”, “left”, “up”, and “down”.

• Splitting lines:

  This is useful for lone lines and to make the more readable.

  Split the lines with the backwards slash symbol and double quoted string to not require escaping the newline.
