What's New Since 0.5.5
- Added tabbed groups to Dwindle with a clickable tab rail. Use
Option + Shift + Arrowto join a neighboring tile or extract the active tab,Option + Up / Downto switch tabs, andControl + Option + Shift + Left / Rightto move the entire tile or group. - Overview can now manage its selected window using assigned hotkeys: restructure Niri layouts, move windows and columns across workspaces, move Dwindle windows between workspaces, place windows precisely with
Option + drag, and close withCommand + Wwithout leaving Overview. - Added Settings → Overview controls for a 50–150% default zoom plus backdrop and normal, hovered, and selected window-border colors. Keyboard navigation now automatically scrolls the selected thumbnail into view.
- Added per-app Initial Column Width (Niri) rules for resizable windows from 5–100%, available in Settings, TOML (
initialColumnWidth), IPC, andomniwmctl rule ... --initial-column-width. The value seeds only a newly created or claimed column, which remains freely resizable. - Added global Workspace Bar exclusions by bundle ID. Excluded apps remain running and fully managed; only their bar representation is removed across monitors, including floating windows, the scratchpad pill, and Workspace Bar IPC output.
- Fixed Niri workspace moves to preserve column-width intent—including Overview placement and Summon Right—while recalculating destination-specific geometry.
Known Limitation
- Dwindle group membership and tab order are runtime layout state and are not restored after OmniWM restarts.
