Toggle smart gaps for active workspace

[yavorski]

Hi, I wrote a simple script to able to toggle the smart gaps for the active workspace ( with a keybind ).
By default I have gaps in my config file, but from time to time I want to toggle them for a given workspace.
In general I am wondering if there is a more efficient/easier way to achieve this and to share this script for anyone who might need something similar. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any suggestions for improvement!

* I have seen ##1345 but it is not quite the same as there is no keybind setup or runtime toggle mechanism mentioned in the answer.

~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

# toggle smart gaps for active workspace
bind = $mainMod, T, exec, ~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle-gaps.sh

~/.config/hypr/scripts/toggle-gaps.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# get active workspace id
id=$(hyprctl -j activeworkspace | jq ".id")

# set range variable in order to match the workspace (not working by id only)
rid="r[$id-$id]"

# default gaps values - can get them with hyprctl too
gaps_in_default=5 # hyprctl getoption general:gaps_in
gaps_out_default=10 # hyprctl getoption general:gaps_out

# current gaps for active workspace
gaps_in_current=$(hyprctl workspacerules -j | jq --arg rid "$rid" '[.[] | select(.workspaceString | startswith($rid)) | .gapsIn[0]] | .[0]')
gaps_out_current=$(hyprctl workspacerules -j | jq --arg rid "$rid" '[.[] | select(.workspaceString | startswith($rid)) | .gapsOut[0]] | .[0]')

# toggle gaps for the active workspace
if [[ ("$gaps_in_current" == "null" && "$gaps_out_current" == "null") || ("$gaps_in_current" == "$gaps_in_default" && "$gaps_out_current" == "$gaps_out_default") ]]; then
  hyprctl keyword workspace $rid f[1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0
  hyprctl keyword workspace $rid w[tv1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0
else
  hyprctl keyword workspace $rid f[1], gapsin:$gaps_in_default, gapsout:$gaps_out_default
  hyprctl keyword workspace $rid w[tv1], gapsin:$gaps_in_default, gapsout:$gaps_out_default
