Switch to floating mode again and newly opened windows will be in floating mode.
- Floating/tiling window rules are isolated between workspaces. You can set one workspace to be floating, and all the rest to tiling for example.
- Returns applied rule for the current workspace. Useful for scripting.
- Moving a window from a tiling workspace to a floating one changes the float state of the window to respect the new workspace.
- Useful for workflows that require both tiling and floating window management.
- Lightweight and easy to integrate with your Hyprland setup.

Or not. Do whatever you want.
3. If you want windows to respect workspaces' rules after moving them to another workspace (see ![the 1.4 changelog](https://typofelho.ddns.net/TypoMustakes/hyprland-toggle-tiling/releases/tag/v1.4) for details), you might want to tell HTT to move your windows instead of telling Hyprland.
On the default configuration, this would mean changing this:
```sh
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 1, movetoworkspace, 1
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 2, movetoworkspace, 2
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 3, movetoworkspace, 3
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 4, movetoworkspace, 4
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 5, movetoworkspace, 5
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 6, movetoworkspace, 6
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 7, movetoworkspace, 7
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 8, movetoworkspace, 8
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 9, movetoworkspace, 9
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 0, movetoworkspace, 10
```
to this:
```sh
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 1, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 1
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 2, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 2
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 3, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 3
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 4, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 4
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 5, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 5
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 6, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 6
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 7, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 7
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 8, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 8
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 9, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 9
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, 0, exec, htt [your htt config file] -m 10
```
... in your configuration.
Otherwise, just use `exec, htt [your htt config file] -m [workspace ID]` wherever you used `movetoworkspace [workspace ID]` before.
