Rules

Rules are used to add special handling to windows that match a regex pattern.

nog.rules = {
  ["notepad.exe"] = {
    ...
  }
}

The above snippet defines a rule for any window that either has a title or executable name matching notepade.exe.

A rule can contain the following settings

Key	Value	Description
has_custom_titlebar	Boolean	Changes how we align the window (applications like vscode should have this enabled)
action	String	Tells nog how to behave when a new window is created. The value is expected to be one of the following: Ignore - nog will ignore the window Manage - nog will manage the window and add it to the currently active workspace Pin - nog will globally pin the window (see pinning mode) Validate - nog will check other config values to determine whether to manage or not
chromium	Boolean	Adds chromium specific handling (anything based on chromium like the new microsoft edge should have this enabled)
firefox	Boolean	Adds firefx specific handling
workspace_id	Number	Which workspace this window gets moved to

The default config contains a few useful rules if you want to see them in action.
