How to unlink floating windows from Rift virtual workspaces?

[kerryj89]

My terminal is set to float (I use Rectangle App's stash feature) and when I activate it in the dock it will switch back to whichever virtual Rift space it's floating in. Is there a way to treat floating windows to appear without switching spaces?

Thanks!

This sounds like you want a sticky window, not a floating window? Or basically an "unmanaged" window.

there isnt an official way to do this now but it is possible with the events/cli.

there is a way to get it to not switch to its last seen workspace on activation:

[settings]
auto_focus_blacklist = [
    "com.mitchellh.ghostty"
]

not sure if thats what you are looking for but..

there is now an option called "manage" in rofts app rules and if you set a rule to have manage=false rift will not touch the window.
