For basic syntax info, see [Configuring Hyprland](../Configuring-Hyprland).
This page documents all the "options" of Hyprland. For binds, monitors, animations,
etc. see the sidebar. For anything else, see [Keywords](../Keywords).
Please keep in mind some options that are layout-specific will be documented in
the layout pages and not here. (See the Sidebar for Dwindle and Master layouts)
# Variable types
| type | description |
|---|---|
| int | integer |
| bool | boolean, `true` or `false` (`yes` or `no`, `on` or `off`, `0` or `1`) - any numerical value that is not `0` or `1` will cause undefined behavior. |
| float | floating point number |
| color | color (see hint below for color info) |
| vec2 | vector with 2 values (float), separated by a space (e.g. `0 0` or `-10.9 99.1`) |
| MOD | a string modmask (e.g. `SUPER` or `SUPERSHIFT` or `SUPER + SHIFT` or `SUPER and SHIFT` or `CTRL_SHIFT` or empty for none. You are allowed to put any separators you please except for a `,`) |
| str | a string |
| gradient | a gradient, in the form of `color color ... [angle]` where `color` is a color (see above) and angle is an angle in degrees, in the format of `123deg` e.g. `45deg` (e.g. `rgba(11ee11ff) rgba(1111eeff) 45deg`) Angle is optional and will default to `0deg` |
{{< hint type=info >}}
**_Colors:_**
You have 3 options:
rgba(), e.g. `rgba(b3ff1aee)`
rgb(), e.g. `rgb(b3ff1a)`
legacy, e.g. `0xeeb3ff1a` -> ARGB order
**_Mod list:_**
```ini
SHIFT CAPS CTRL/CONTROL ALT MOD2 MOD3 SUPER/WIN/LOGO/MOD4 MOD5
```

# Sections
## General

| no_border_on_floating | disable borders for floating windows | bool | false |
| gaps_in | gaps between windows | int | 5 |

| col.group_border | inactive (out of focus) group border color | gradient | 0x66777700 |
| col.group_border_active | active group border color | gradient | 0x66ffff00 |
| cursor_inactive_timeout | in seconds, after how many seconds of cursor's inactivity to hide it. Set to `0` for never. | int | 0 |
| layout | which layout to use. (Available: `dwindle`, `master`) | str | dwindle |
| no_cursor_warps | if true, will not warp the cursor in many cases (focusing, keybinds, etc) | bool | false |
| apply_sens_to_raw | if on, will also apply the sensitivity to raw mouse output (e.g. sensitivity in games) **NOTICE:** ***really*** not recommended. | bool | false |
| resize_on_border | enables resizing windows by clicking and dragging on borders and gaps | bool | false |
| extend_border_grab_area | extends the area around the border where you can click and drag on, only used when `general:resize_on_border` is on. | int | 15 |
| hover_icon_on_border | show a cursor icon when hovering over borders, only used when `general:resize_on_border` is on. | bool | true |
{{< hint type=warning >}}
Prefer using `input:sensitivity` over `general:sensitivity` to avoid bugs, especially with Wine/Proton apps.

| blur_xray | if enabled, floating windows will ignore tiled windows in their blur. Only available if blur_new_optimizations is true. Will reduce overhead on floating blur significantly. | bool | false |
| drop_shadow | enable drop shadows on windows | bool | true |
| shadow_range | Shadow range ("size") in layout px | int | 4 |

{{< hint type=info >}}
`blur_size` and `blur_passes` have to be at least 1.
Increasing `blur_passes` is necessary to prevent blur looking wrong on higher `blur_size` values,
but remember that higher `blur_passes` will require more strain on the GPU.
It will, however, cause zero overhead on tiled windows if using `blur_new_optimizations`.

| accel_profile | Sets the cursor acceleration profile. Can be one of `adaptive`, `flat`. Leave empty to use `libinput`'s default mode for your input device. [libinput#pointer-acceleration](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/pointer-acceleration.html#pointer-acceleration) | str | \[EMPTY\]
| force_no_accel | Force no cursor acceleration. This bypasses most of your pointer settings to get as raw of a signal as possible. **Enabling this is not recommended due to potential cursor desynchronization.** | bool | false |

## XKB Settings
You can find a list of models, layouts, variants and options in [`/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst`](file:///usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst).
Alternatively, you can use the `localectl` command to discover what is available on your system.
For switchable keyboard configurations, take a look at [the uncommon tips & tricks page entry](../Uncommon-tips--tricks/#switchable-keyboard-layouts).
{{< /hint >}}
{{< hint type=info >}}
## Follow Mouse Cursor
- 0 - Cursor movement will not change focus.
- 1 - Cursor movement will always change focus to the window under the cursor.
- 2 - Cursor focus will be detached from keyboard focus. Clicking on a window will move keyboard focus to that window.
- 3 - Cursor focus will be completely separate from keyboard focus. Clicking on a window will not change keyboard focus.

| tap-to-click | Tapping on the touchpad with 1, 2, or 3 fingers will send LMB, RMB, and MMB respectively. | bool | true |
| drag_lock | When enabled, lifting the finger off for a short time while dragging will not drop the dragged item. [libinput#tap-and-drag](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/tapping.html#tap-and-drag) | bool | false |
{{< hint type=important >}}
A subcategory is a nested category:

| scroll_event_delay | in ms, how many ms to wait after a scroll event to allow to pass another one for the binds. | int | 300 |
| workspace_back_and_forth | If enabled, an attempt to switch to the currently focused workspace will instead switch to the previous workspace. Akin to i3's *auto_back_and_forth*. | bool | false |
| allow_workspace_cycles | If enabled, workspaces don't forget their previous workspace, so cycles can be created by switching to the first workspace in a sequence, then endlessly going to the previous workspace. | bool | false |
| focus_preferred_method | sets the preferred focus finding method when using `focuswindow`/`movewindow`/etc with a direction. 0 - history (recent have priority), 1 - length (longer shared edges have priority) | int | 0 |
