xprop for Hyprland

• hyprland obviously
• hyprevents capture window changed events to rerun slurp
• socat to connect hyprevents with hyprprop events
• slurp to select an area on the screen
• jq to parse hyprctl output
• make

yay -S hyprprop-git

or

sudo make install

Just run

hyprprop

and select desired window

Currently, there is no event triggered when a special workspace is opened or closed, so the only way to force slurp to redraw automatically is to add keybind for sending the signal to the hyprprop using the same key as togglespecialworkspace:

bind = $mod, <KEY>, togglespecialworkspace,
bind = $mod, <KEY>, exec, kill -USR1 "$(cat /tmp/hyprprop.pid)"

By binding both commands to the same key, Hyprland will execute them sequentially whenever the key is pressed.
