Disabling monitor crashes hyprland?

[hdev1]

Hey,

My issue is that I want to disable my laptop's monitor (eDP-1) if my external monitor is plugged in (HDMI-A-1). I know I could do this with an external shell script with exec-once theoretically, but using wlr-randr --output eDP-1 --off seems to crash hyprland.

I'm new to Wayland, just wondering if there's an obvious solution to this, or if hyprland crashing is upon disabling a montior with wlr-randr specific to my machine for some reason.

Thanks!

prefer using the config instead of wlr-randr or any other external utility. hyprctl keyword monitor eDP-1,disable should work. Remember to never disable the last monitor on your computer, it will freeze Hyprland.
