## Switchable keyboard layouts
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to accomplish this is to set this using XKB settings, for
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
input {
|
|
kb_layout = us,cz
|
|
kb_variant = ,qwerty
|
|
kb_options = grp:alt_shift_toggle
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Variants are set per layout.
|
|
|
|
{{< callout >}}
|
|
|
|
The first layout defined in the input section will be the one used for binds by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
For example: `us,ua` -> config binds would be e.g. `SUPER, A`, while on `ua,us`
|
|
-> `SUPER, Cyrillic_ef`
|
|
|
|
You can change this behavior globally or per-device by setting
|
|
`resolve_binds_by_sym = 1`. In that case, binds will activate when the symbol
|
|
typed matches the symbol specified in the bind.
|
|
|
|
For example: if your layouts are `us,fr` and have a bind for `SUPER, A` you'd
|
|
need to press the first letter on the second row while the `us` layout is active
|
|
and the first letter on the first row while the `fr` layout is active.
|
|
|
|
{{< /callout >}}
|
|
|
|
You can also bind a key to execute `hyprctl switchxkblayout` for more keybind
|
|
freedom. See [Using hyprctl](../Using-hyprctl).
|
|
|
|
To find the valid layouts and `kb_options`, you can check out the
|
|
`/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst`. For example:
|
|
|
|
To get the layout name of a language:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
grep -i 'persian' /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To get the list of keyboard shortcuts you can put in the `kb_options` to toggle
|
|
keyboard layouts:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
grep 'grp:.*toggle' /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Disabling keybinds with one master keybind
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable all keybinds with another keybind (make a keybind toggle
|
|
of sorts) you can just use a submap with only a keybind to exit it.
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
bind = MOD, KEY, submap, clean
|
|
submap = clean
|
|
bind = MOD, KEY, submap, reset
|
|
submap = reset
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remap Caps-Lock to Ctrl
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
input {
|
|
kb_options = ctrl:nocaps
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Swap Caps-Lock and Escape
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
input {
|
|
kb_options = caps:swapescape
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Set F13-F24 as usual function keys
|
|
|
|
By default, F13-F24 are mapped by xkb as various "XF86" keysyms. These cause binding
|
|
issues in many programs. One example is OBS Studio, which does not detect the XF86
|
|
keysyms as usable keybindings, making you unable to use them for binds. This option
|
|
simply maps them back to the expected F13-F24 values, which are bindable as normal.
|
|
|
|

|
|
This option was only added recently to `xkeyboard-config`. Please ensure you are on version
|
|
2.43 or greater for this option to do anything.
|
|
{{< /callout >}}
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
input {
|
|
kb_options = fkeys:basic_13-24
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Minimize windows using special workspaces
|
|
|
|
This approach uses special workspaces to mimic the "minimize window" function, by using a single keybind to toggle the minimized state.
|
|
Note that one keybind can only handle one window.
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
bind = $mod, S, togglespecialworkspace, magic
|
|
bind = $mod, S, movetoworkspace, +0
|
|
bind = $mod, S, togglespecialworkspace, magic
|
|
bind = $mod, S, movetoworkspace, special:magic
|
|
bind = $mod, S, togglespecialworkspace, magic
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Minimize Steam instead of killing
|
|
|
|
Steam will exit entirely when its last window is closed using the `killactive`
|
|
dispatcher. To minimize Steam to tray, use the following script to close
|
|
applications:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
if [ "$(hyprctl activewindow -j | jq -r ".class")" = "Steam" ]; then
|
|
xdotool getactivewindow windowunmap
|
|
else
|
|
hyprctl dispatch killactive ""
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Shimeji
|
|
|
|
To use Shimeji programs like
|
|
[this](https://codeberg.org/thatonecalculator/spamton-linux-shimeji), set the
|
|
following rules:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
windowrule = float, com-group_finity-mascot-Main
|
|
windowrule = noblur, com-group_finity-mascot-Main
|
|
windowrule = nofocus, com-group_finity-mascot-Main
|
|
windowrule = noshadow, com-group_finity-mascot-Main
|
|
windowrule = noborder, com-group_finity-mascot-Main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{< callout type=info >}}
|
|
|
|
The app indicator probably won't show, so you'll have to `killall -9 java` to
|
|
kill them.
|
|
|
|
{{< /callout >}}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Toggle animations/blur/etc hotkey
|
|
|
|
For increased performance in games, or for less distractions at a keypress
|
|
|
|
1. create file
|
|
`~/.config/hypr/gamemode.sh && chmod +x ~/.config/hypr/gamemode.sh` and add:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env sh
|
|
HYPRGAMEMODE=$(hyprctl getoption animations:enabled | awk 'NR==1{print $2}')
|
|
if [ "$HYPRGAMEMODE" = 1 ] ; then
|
|
hyprctl --batch "\
|
|
keyword animations:enabled 0;\
|
|
keyword decoration:shadow:enabled 0;\
|
|
keyword decoration:blur:enabled 0;\
|
|
keyword general:gaps_in 0;\
|
|
keyword general:gaps_out 0;\
|
|
keyword general:border_size 1;\
|
|
keyword decoration:rounding 0"
|
|
exit
|
|
fi
|
|
hyprctl reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit to your liking of course. If animations are enabled, it disables all the
|
|
pretty stuff. Otherwise, the script reloads your config to grab your defaults.
|
|
|
|
2. Add this to your `hyprland.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
bind = WIN, F1, exec, ~/.config/hypr/gamemode.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The hotkey toggle will be WIN+F1, but you can change this to whatever you want.
