# Configuring Hyprland

The config is located in `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`.

I recommend you copy the `examples/hyprland.conf`, but you can also edit the
autogenerated config.

By removing the line `autogenerated=1` you'll remove the yellow warning.

There is no "reload" keybind. The config is reloaded the moment you save it.
However, some options may require a restart before taking effect.

Start a section with `name {` and end in `}` **_in separate lines!_**

{{< hint type=important >}}
The default config is _very_ barebones. Please refer to this wiki page and the pages
linked further down here for full configuration instructions.

**Make sure to read the "Variables" page as well**. It covers all the
toggleable / numerical options.

## Line style

Every config line is a command followed by a value.

```ini
COMMAND=VALUE
```

The command can be a variable, or a special keyword (described further in this
page)

You are **allowed to** input trailing spaces at the beginning and end.

e.g.:

```ini
COMMAND = VALUE
```

is valid.

## Basic configuring

To configure the "options" of Hyprland, animations, styling, etc. see
[Variables](../Variables).

## Advanced configuring

Some keywords (binds, curves, execs, monitors, etc.) are not variables but define
special behaviour.

See all of them in [Keywords](../Keywords) and the sidebar.
