📄 Description

Allow highlighting a workspace which contains a window that triggered a urgent event, i.e., requests attention. In my case, I see it happens when I clink a link and it opens in a new tab on firefox, and when displaying a BEL character in some terminal emulators (at least in alacritty).

You can test it by running

sleep 1 && tput bel

in alacritty, and switching to another workspaces before the sleep expires.

I implemented it for both Sway and Hyprland. Sway keep track of a urgent flag for each client, and notify ironbar about changes. Hyprland or the other hand only contains a urgent event that triggers once, so I clean the urgent state of a workspace whenever it is focused.
