## Switchable keyboard layouts
|
|
|
|
An example of a switchable keyboard layout between US and RU, where you switch
|
|
between them with <key>SUPER</key>+<key>A</key> (<key>SUPER</key>+<key>Ф</key>)
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
bind=SUPER,A,exec,hyprctl keyword input:kb_layout ru
|
|
bind=SUPER,Cyrillic_ef,exec,hyprctl keyword input:kb_layout us
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can apply this to any number of languages, mix'n'match, etc.
|
|
|
|
Please note that if a keyboard layout has a different alphabet, mappings for "a"
|
|
"b" "c" will be replaced with mappings from that language. (meaning, e.g.
|
|
<key>SUPER</key> + <key>D</key> will not work on a `ru` layout, because the russian layout does not
|
|
have a <key>D</key>.)
|
|
|
|
{{< hint type=important >}}
|
|
After Hyprland v0.10.3beta, the above statement may be false. Hyprland (since *after* v0.10.3beta) will now ALWAYS use the global xkb settings for keybind parsing.
|
|
|
|
Thus, if you have a global layout set to `us`, and per-keyboard layout as `ru`, your keyboard's layout will be russian, but the keybinds will parse based on
|
|
the `us` layout (e.g. <key>SUPER</key> + <key>E</key>)
|
|
{{< /hint >}}
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure about the key names of your chosen alphabet, refer to the
|
|
[xkbcommon keysym header](https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/blob/master/include/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h).
|
|
The keysym name in Hyprland is the XKB define name without the `XKB_KEY_`.
|
|
|
|
Generally, for switched layouts, it's recommended to bind by a keycode.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
For proper switching, or avoiding problems / bugs, it's recommended to switch per-device configs instead of global ones.
|
|
|
|
See [per-device input configs](../Keywords/#per-device-input-configs).

## Disabling keybinds with one master keybind
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable all keybinds with another keybind (make a kaybind 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
|
|
```
