Problem

On Omarchy (Arch + Hyprland, Wayland) the recording HUD is unusable:

  • In the stable 1.3.3 AppImage, hovering the bar makes it vanish. The Linux fallback window grows from 160px to 540px on hover (setHudOverlayFallbackExpanded from e2802bf). Wayland ignores the repositioned bounds, Hyprland re-centres a floating window that resizes itself, and the bar (anchored to the window bottom) jumps ~190px away from the pointer, collapses, and oscillates. With the HUD at its default bottom-of-screen position the bar ends up off-screen entirely. The revert in d2796fb stopped the resize, but that leaves the popover menus clipped inside the 160px window.
  • Cursor telemetry is empty on Wayland: uiohook's XRecord hook only sees XWayland clients, so auto-zoom and click effects get no data. Verified with a standalone uiohook run: 0 mousemove events while the pointer moved across native Wayland windows.
  • Hyprland's blur/shadow/dim/opacity decorate the transparent HUD window as a grey box, and alwaysOnTop is ignored on Wayland.

Changes

  • Grow the Linux HUD window only while a popover is open (new hud-overlay-set-menu-open IPC), never on hover. On Wayland the bar is anchored to the window centre (paddingBottom: calc(50vh - 60px)) so the compositor's centre-anchored resize leaves it in place; X11 keeps the bottom-anchored layout. The anchor is reported through the existing get-hud-overlay-mouse-passthrough-supported handler.
  • On Wayland sessions, poll Hyprland's IPC socket (j/cursorpos) for the pointer position and read mouse buttons from /dev/input devices that advertise BTN_LEFT (needs the input group, which Omarchy grants by default). Other compositors keep the existing fallback.
  • README: Arch/Omarchy build deps, WHISPER_RUNTIME_ALLOW_MISSING=1, and Hyprland window rules (pin, noblur, noshadow, nodim, opacity 1 1, bordersize 0) for the recordly/Recordly class.

Fixes #600 and #638. Related: #772 (same root cause, Niri untested) and #34 (pointer position is Hyprland-only for now).

Testing

  • npx tsc --noEmit, npm run lint, npm test (1057 tests) pass.
  • Reproduced the 1.3.3 hover bug on Hyprland 0.56.2 by temporarily restoring the hover-resize: window went 860x160 -> 860x540 and Hyprland moved its top from y=473 to y=283 (same centre). With the branch, hovering leaves the window at 860x160 and the bar stays put.
  • With the documented rules, hyprctl clients reports the HUD as floating: true, pinned: true and hyprctl decorations lists none; the grey box is gone and the HUD follows workspace switches.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved HUD positioning and resizing on Linux Wayland, including centered layouts where appropriate.
    • HUD overlays now adjust their interactive area when menus open.
    • Added mouse interaction support for Wayland environments, including cursor tracking and button input.
  • Documentation

    • Added Arch Linux and Omarchy setup guidance.
    • Documented optional CMake installation requirements, Hyprland HUD configuration, and Wayland cursor telemetry requirements.

Linux has no hover-driven mouse passthrough, so the HUD lives in a compact
160px window and its popover menus were clipped. The earlier attempt to grow
the window on hover (shipped in 1.3.3) made the bar jump away from the
pointer on Wayland, because Hyprland re-centres a floating window that
resizes itself and the bar was anchored to the window bottom.

Grow the window only while a popover is open, and on Wayland anchor the bar
to the window centre so it stays put through the resize.
uiohook only sees XWayland clients, so under a Wayland session it reports no
pointer motion or clicks and auto-zoom and click effects have nothing to work
with. Poll Hyprland's socket for the pointer position and read mouse buttons
from /dev/input devices that advertise BTN_LEFT.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21806

This PR improves Linux Wayland HUD behavior and cursor telemetry, but merge readiness is moderate because multi-display scaling can produce incorrect cursor coordinates, the documented input-group access grants broader device access than needed, and the build instructions are inconsistent for packaged builds; these issues need correction or explicit owner acceptance.

Hyprland IPC j/cursorpos coordinates monitor scale per-output documentation

💡 Result:

In Hyprland, the cursorpos command (accessed via hyprctl cursorpos or hyprctl j/cursorpos) returns the current cursor position in global layout coordinates [1][2][3]. These coordinates represent the cursor's location across the entire desktop space, effectively treating all monitor outputs as a single, combined coordinate system [4]. Key points regarding coordinate scaling and per-output monitoring: 1. Global Coordinates: The cursorpos command does not provide per-monitor coordinates by default; it provides the global absolute position [1][2]. 2. Scaling and Transforms: Monitor positioning in Hyprland is calculated based on scaled and transformed resolutions [5]. Because the global coordinate system accounts for these configurations, the raw cursorpos values are influenced by the total layout geometry but are not automatically scaled relative to a specific monitor's internal coordinate system [5]. 3. Per-Output Calculation: To determine the cursor's position relative to a specific monitor, you must perform the calculation manually by comparing the global cursor position against the geometry (x, y, width, height) of the target monitor [4]. You can retrieve monitor geometry and scale factors using the hyprctl monitors or hyprctl j/monitors command [6][3]. 4. Internal Logic: Internally, Hyprland calculates cursor positions for specific monitors using the global pointer position and the monitor's specific transformation, scale, and offset [7]. For example, the function CPointerManager::getCursorPosForMonitor subtracts the monitor's position from the global pointer position and adjusts based on the monitor's scale and transform settings [7]. If you require this data programmatically, use hyprctl j/cursorpos to get the JSON output and hyprctl j/monitors to parse the layout and scaling information [8][6], then compute the relative offset in your client-side application [4].

Electron 43 screen Display bounds scaleFactor screen coordinates Linux documentation

💡 Result:

In Electron 43, the screen and display information, including bounds and scale factor, are managed through the screen module API [1][2]. Key concepts regarding screen coordinates and scaling include: 1. Coordinate System: Electron uses two types of coordinates [1]. - Device-independent pixel (DIP) points: Virtualized screen points that are scaled based on the display's DPI [1]. The bounds and workArea properties of a Display object are provided in DIPs [3][4]. - Physical screen points: Raw hardware pixels on the display [1]. 2. Scaling: The scaleFactor property of a Display object represents the output device's pixel scale factor [3]. This value is essential for translating between DIPs and physical pixels [1]. 3. Conversion Utilities: Electron provides utility methods to convert between these coordinate systems [1]. On Linux (and Windows), you can use: - screen.dipToScreenPoint(point): Converts a DIP point to a physical point [1]. - screen.screenToDipPoint(point): Converts a physical point to a DIP point [1]. - Similar methods exist for rectangles, such as screen.dipToScreenRect and screen.screenToDipRect [1]. 4. Linux-Specific Considerations: While these APIs are available, note that screen.screenToDipPoint and screen.dipToScreenPoint are not currently supported on Wayland and will return the input point without modifications [1]. Developers should ensure they are targeting the correct display when querying these properties, often by using screen.getDisplayNearestPoint(point) or screen.getDisplayMatching(rect) rather than relying solely on screen.getPrimaryDisplay [1][5]. As of Electron 43, there are no specific documented changes to the core logic of the screen module's coordinate system, though the release included various fixes for window positioning and scaling behavior [6][7].

Map Hyprland points in Electron’s per-display coordinate space.

When the cursor is on an output whose scale differs from the primary display, the primary-scale multiplication in wayland.ts does not produce a valid physical coordinate for that output. getNormalizedCursorPoint() reverses that primary-scale conversion, then compares the result with Electron’s DIP display bounds. Map each point using its containing output’s geometry and scale.

Limit the CMake fallback claim to development installs.

WHISPER_RUNTIME_ALLOW_MISSING=1 npm install only scopes the variable to the install command. The build script still requires CMake or a staged runtime for direct npm run build and target build commands unless the variable is set again. This conflicts with the packaged-build steps below. State that the fallback supports development only, or document the required variable and missing auto-caption behavior for packaged builds.

Hyprland 0.54 window rules match:class match:float no_blur no_shadow no_dim border_size legacy class: floating:1 noblur bordersize

💡 Result:

In Hyprland 0.54, the window rule syntax underwent significant changes [1][2]. The old windowrulev2 and positional rule syntax have been superseded by a unified windowrule format [1][3]. To apply rules, you must now define props (for matching) and effects (for the behavior) [1][3]. All props must match for a rule to be applied [1]. Rule Syntax Structure The standard syntax requires separating the match criteria and the effects with commas [1][2]. Unlike older versions where effects often preceded match criteria, the modern syntax uses match: prefixes for properties and explicit values for effects (e.g., on, yes, or numeric values) [1][2]. Example: windowrule = match:class ^(my-app)$, float on, noblur on, noshadow on, nodim on, bordersize 0 Supported Fields Props (Match Criteria) You use the match: prefix to define criteria [4][1]: match:class [RegEx]: Matches the window's class. match:float [bool]: Matches floating windows (use 1 for true, 0 for false) [4][1]. match:title, match:initial_class, match:initial_title, match:xwayland, match:workspace, etc. [1] Effects Common effects include: float [on/off] [1][2] noblur [on/off] [5] noshadow [on/off] nodim [on/off] bordersize [int] [5] Important Configuration Notes 1. Prop-Effect Order: Rules are generally defined as windowrule = [effect], [match:prop], though the order of individual effects and match props within a rule can be flexible as long as the syntax is consistent [1][2]. 2. Values: Boolean effects or properties (like float or noblur) now typically require an explicit state such as on or 1 [1][2]. 3. Multiple Props: You can combine multiple match criteria, but each type (e.g., match:class) can only be specified once per rule [1]. 4. Legacy Syntax: If you see references to class: or floating:1 without the match: prefix, these are likely from older versions (pre-0.53) and are no longer valid in 0.54 [2]. You must update them to match:class and match:float 1 (or match:float on) [1][2]. For complex configurations, Hyprland 0.54 also supports a structured block format: windowrule { name = my-custom-rule match:class = ^(my-app)$ float = on noblur = on bordersize = 0 } [1][3]

Load hudOverlayResizeAnchor before signaling HUD readiness.

hudOverlayRendererReady can show the hidden HUD before the asynchronous support request sets the anchor. On Wayland, the initial "bottom" state can render with paddingBottom: "1.25rem" before changing to "calc(50vh - 60px)". Resolve the anchor before signaling readiness, or keep the HUD hidden until the response is applied.

In `@src/components/launch/hooks/useLaunchWindowSystemState.ts` around lines 10 -
12, Ensure hudOverlayResizeAnchor is resolved from the asynchronous support
request before hudOverlayRendererReady signals that the HUD may be shown, or
defer readiness until the response has been applied, preventing the initial
"bottom" layout from rendering on Wayland.
