Add "enable-bar-scroll" to "hypr/workspaces"

[Hubro]

sway/workspaces has an option called enable-bar-scroll that lets you scroll through workspaces anywhere on the bar, not just while hovering over the workspaces.

I have a very wide monitor, so I was a heavy user of this.

Could we have this option on hypr/workspaces as well?

Alternatively, would it be possible to add a on-scroll-{up|down} on the bar itself, so we could bind anything to it?

I've made a simple patch for this. Could you test if it works with named and persistent workspaces since I only used numbered ones. my fork

for everyone finding this Issue and if the fork is not yet merged:
Waybar has a note on this topic in their wiki https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Status-Bars/#scrolling-through-workspaces
I hope, you find it useful.

Sorry for the slow reply, just tested this now and it seems to work! 😁

I just checked if you had opened a PR and I happened to find this one from 2019: #322

It makes it sound like scrolling on the entire bar surface should already be working, strange 🤔

@Hubro that PR only has the hook implemented for Sway.

@VAWVAW I rebased your patch: https://github.com/Craeckie/Waybar
It seems to work. Would you be willing to create a PR?

[VAWVAW]

I opened #3088.

Would be great to have #3088 merged, what are your thoughts @Alexays?

This is the biggest outstanding issue in my workflow since switching from Sway to Hyprland. Would it be possible to get this enhancement merged? Is there anything I can do to help?
