For basic syntax info, see Configuring Hyprland.

This page documents all the "options" of Hyprland. For binds, monitors, animations, etc. see the sidebar. For anything else, see 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 float values, 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

XKB Settings

You can find a list of models, layouts, variants and options in /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.

{{< /callout >}}

{{< callout 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.

Custom accel profiles

accel_profile

custom <step> <points...>

Example: custom 200 0.0 0.5

scroll_points

NOTE: Only works when accel_profile is set to custom.

<step> <points...>

Example: 0.2 0.0 0.5 1 1.2 1.5

To mimic the Windows acceleration curves, take a look at this script.

See the libinput doc for more insights on how it works.
