Bind a keymap to to perform multiple functions?

[the-fuckin-nobody]

Is is possible to bind a single keymap to perform multiple functions in niri?
For my usecase, I wish to bind the Mod+Shift+Return to open a terminal window at workspace 1.
I tried everything I could think of, but did not succeed, So did I miss something from the wiki?

Not at the moment. You can work around by binding something like "sh" "-c" "niri msg action focus-workspace 1 && niri msg action spawn -- alacritty"

Is this feature planned ? cuz it currently seems like a workaround to achieve the described behaviour.

Also, I was trying to open a window as float using this keybind:
Mod+Shift+Return repeat=false { spawn "sh" "-c" "niri msg action spawn -- foot && niri msg action toggle-window-floating"; }

But the new float window does not gets focused. What am I doing wrong?

P.S : Happy New Year

Apologies, this keybind doesn't even work as expected at all.

All it does is just spawn a terminall window and make the current window float T_T.

This particular example won't work even with multiple bind actions, because it takes some time for the window to appear. Instead, spawn needs some kind of window rule argument that applies to the window.

Alternatively, with foot specifically I think you can override the app id with a flag, then add a window rule to make that specific app id open-floating.

Yeah I also thought about this too. Thanks -)

I wonder if passing some selected actions to the spawn command be doable in the possible future ? Seems like a nice and relevant feature.
