Do not add new window to group, if group is the only active window

[JoseConseco]

Problem:

• I have one full screen group active (it is the only visible window)
• when opening new app - it is automatically added to group - but I want it to be tiled next to group
• now I have to ungroup, pick old group windows, group, switch back to new window ;(
  Is there way to prevent auto adding of new opened app to group - if it is the only active window on monitor?
  I can see all works as expected, if we have two windows [grouped][single-active], then opening new app wont group it obviously (group was not active).

No way to do that atm, unless you write a script. Then it might work.

Ok. It would be great if in future hyprland had option to exclude new window from auto-adding to group. For me, in most cases when I have setup like:
[A B] [C] , -- [A B] group is active,
Then I wish adding D would give
[A B][D] [C] -- auto split window tree with [AB] and [D] as new leafs - if possible
Rather than
[A B D][C]
Hope you will consider adding toggle for this.

ok, I kind of got it working with:

#!/bin/sh

function handle {
  # echo "Handling $1"
  if [[ ${1:0:10} == "openwindow" ]]; then
    echo "Opening window"
    echo "Handling $1"
    hyprctl dispatch togglegroup none
    hyprctl dispatch cyclenext none
    # sleep 0.1
    hyprctl dispatch togglegroup none
    hyprctl dispatch cyclenext none
  fi
  if [[ ${1:0:12} == "activewindow" ]]; then
    echo "active window"
    echo "Handling $1"
    # hyprctl dispatch cyclenext
  fi
}

socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/hypr/$(echo $HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE)/.socket2.sock | while read line; do handle $line; done

How to get info, - if previous window is group (before new window is added) ? I could disable then above code for non groups.
