The config is located in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hypr/hyprland.conf`. In most cases,
that maps to `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`.
You can tell Hyprland to use a specific configuration file by using the
`--config` (or `-c`) argument.
Hyprland will automatically generate an example config for you if you don't have
one. You can find an example config
[here](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/example/hyprland.conf).
By removing the line containing `autogenerated=1` you'll remove the yellow
warning.
The config is reloaded the moment you save it. However, you can use
`hyprctl reload` to reload the config manually.
Start a section with `name {` and end in `}` **_on separate lines!_**

The default config is not complete and does not list all the options / features
of Hyprland. Please refer to this wiki page and the pages linked further down
here for full configuration instructions.
**Make sure to read the [Variables](./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)
The trailing spaces at the beginning and end of words are not necessary, and are
there only for legibility.
### Comments
Comments are started with the `#` character.
If you want to escape it (put an actual `#` and not start a comment) you can use
`##`. It will be turned into a single `#` that _will_ be a part of your line.
### Escaping errors
If you use plugins, you may want to ignore errors from missing options/keywords
so that you don't get an error bar before they are loaded. To do so, do this:
```ini
# hyprlang noerror true
bind = MOD, KEY, something, amogus
someoption = blah
# hyprlang noerror false
```
## Basic configuring
To configure Hyprland's options, animations, styling, etc. see
[Variables](./Variables).
## Advanced configuring
Some keywords (binds, curves, execs, monitors, etc.) are not variables but
define special behavior.
See all of them in [Keywords](./Keywords) and the sidebar.
