load the plugin???

[Soliness613]

Forgive me for the noobish question. I am going around in circles trying to get this to work. According to hyprpm i have the plugin installed and enabled, but when i try to change movefocus to hy3:movefocus my config file breaks.

Does it show up under hyprctl plugin list?

[Soliness613]

It does not! It shows up under hyprpm list though, and says it is enabled. I have exec-once hyprpm reload in my hyprland.conf, and here is my plugin block:

plugin {
  hy3 {
    # disable gaps when only one window is onscreen
    # 0 - always show gaps
    # 1 - hide gaps with a single window onscreen
    # 2 - 1 but also show the window 
    no_gaps_when_only = <int> # default: 0

    # policy controlling what happens when a node is removed from a group,
    # leaving only a group
    # 0 = remove the nested group
    # 1 = keep the nested group
    # 2 = keep the nested group only if its parent is a tab group
    node_collapse_policy = <int> # default: 2

    # offset from group split direction when only one window is in a group
    group_inset = <int> # default: 10

    # if a tab group will automatically be created for the first window spawned in a workspace
    tab_first_window = <bool>

    # tab group settings
    tabs {
    	rounding = 20
        height = 40
        text_font = Millimetre
        text_height = 10
        text_padding = 20
        col.active = $color0
        col.text.active = rgb(ffffff)
    }

    # autotiling settings
    autotile {
      # enable autotile
      enable = <bool> # default: false

      # make autotile-created groups ephemeral
      ephemeral_groups = <bool> # default: true

      # if a window would be squished smaller than this width, a vertical split will be created
      # -1 = never automatically split vertically
      # 0 = always automatically split vertically
      # <number> = pixel width to split at
      trigger_width = <int> # default: 0

      # if a window would be squished smaller than this height, a horizontal split will be created
      # -1 = never automatically split horizontally
      # 0 = always automatically split horizontally
      # <number> = pixel height to split at
      trigger_height = <int> # default: 0

      # a space or comma separated list of workspace ids where autotile should be enabled
      # it's possible to create an exception rule by prefixing the definition with "not:"
      # workspaces = 1,2 # autotiling will only be enabled on workspaces 1 and 2
      # workspaces = not:1,2 # autotiling will be enabled on all workspaces except 1 and 2
      workspaces = <string> # default: all
    }
  }
}

I am pretty sure I am just missing some line in my config to directly load hy3, but i can't figure out where the plugin is installed, or what command to add 🙃
Thank u for helping

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling.

I got it loaded. I ended up needing to use the AUR install method to install hy3-git, because i am on hyprland-git. I guess that's why i was getting a version mismatch in hyprpm. Maybe it would be good to stress in the installation instructions that the AUR method is still the go-to for hyprland-git? When i saw it was deprecated, i went right ahead to hyprpm. Thanks again for helping!

..welp. It is still doing the same thing. Doesn't recognize hy3 as a layout, and doesn't like when i change movefocus and movewindow. shows up as loaded with hyprctl plugin list. I am deeply confused

Both ways are supposed to work for -git.
