Zotero with Hyprland

[raffaem]

I have a window rule that floats a certain window B.

On screen I already have window A maximized, when I open window B.

The problem is that when window B is opened, it is first tiled, and so window A is resized.

Then window B is floated, and window A gets maximized again.

But window A is LibreOffice Writer, and the tiling -> maximization process mess up the zoom and the position of the page.

Is there a way to float window B immediately, without first tiling it?

Modified to clarify my question

[vaxerski]

it should not be like that. Are you sure you're applying the rule properly?

does e.g.

hyprctl dispatch exec "[float] kitty"

do the same?

Window B is the Zotero window to insert citation.

I think the real process is this: i opens another application before opening the "real" window (and close the previous application).

How can I monitor clients?

That is, how can I monitor changes of hyprctl clients over time?

When you add a citation in LibreOffice, in reality Zotero opens two windows.

The first window is a sort of "Loading..." window, titled "Progress", while the second window is the real input that asks for user input, and is titled "Quick Format Citation".

So to have a smooth experience you need to apply the rules to both of them.

This is my ruleset to use Zotero with Hyprland, in case somebody else needs it:

windowrulev2 = float,class:^(Zotero)$,title:^(Quick Format Citation|Progress)$
windowrulev2 = center,class:^(Zotero)$,title:^(Quick Format Citation|Progress)$
windowrulev2 = noanim,class:^(Zotero)$,title:^(Quick Format Citation|Progress)$
windowrulev2 = maxsize 400 100,class:^(Zotero)$,title:^(Quick Format Citation|Progress)$
