bound a window to another as a popup

[littleblack111]

for example:
Thunar spawns a renaming window.
when howevering over thunar(anywhere other then the renaming popup), I would expect it to force the focus to be on the popup while the rest of the thunar window is dimed

i seen some apps have those behavior builtin, but a windowrule for this would be great

I think this is not what you want, but something like this can help (it won't bind the windows, just dim behind the dialogues):

windowrule = dimaround, class:^(thunar)$, title:^(.*Renomear|Rename.*)$

or this for more of the dialogues

windowrule = dimaround, class:^(thunar)$, title:^(.*Rename.*|.*Preferences.*|.*Actions.*|.*Renomear.*|.*Preferências.*|.*Ações.*)$

If not in English or Portuguese, use hyprctl to get the correct translated keyword

hyprctl clients -j | jq -r '.[] | select(.class | contains("thunar")) | .title'

Yeah I already have similar window rule setup

I don't think this should be a windowrule. I think it should be the default behavior. We already (forcefully) dim a parent that has an xdg_dialog attached. Is that what you are talking baout?

sure, but some window might not have those properties so perhaps allowing user to also set those is a good idea
