Optimizing ​

Plugins ​

  • Only enable the plugins you are using in the plugins array (in [pyprland] section).
  • Leaving the configuration for plugins which are not enabled will have no impact.
  • Using multiple configuration files only have a small impact on the startup time.

Pypr ​

You can run pypr using pypy (version 3) for a more snappy experience. One way is to use a pypy3 virtual environment:

bash
pypy3 -m venv pypr-venv
source ./pypr-venv/bin/activate
cd <pypr source folder>
pip install -e .

Pypr command ​

In case you want to save some time when interacting with the daemon, the simplest is to use pypr-client. See Commands: pypr-client for details. If pypr-client isn't available from your OS package and you cannot compile code, you can use socat instead (needs to be installed).

Example of a pypr-cli command (should be reachable from your environment's PATH):

Hyprland ​

sh
#!/bin/sh
socat - "UNIX-CONNECT:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/hypr/${HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE}/.pyprland.sock" <<< $@

Niri ​

sh
#!/bin/sh
socat - "UNIX-CONNECT:$(dirname ${NIRI_SOCKET})/.pyprland.sock" <<< $@

Standalone (other window manager) ​

sh
#!/bin/sh
socat - "UNIX-CONNECT:${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/.pyprland.sock" <<< $@

On slow systems this may make a difference. Note that validate and edit commands require the standard pypr command.
