Laptop Brightness & Lid Switch
bindel = ,XF86MonBrightnessUp, exec, brightnessctl s 10%+
bindel = ,XF86MonBrightnessDown, exec, brightnessctl s 10%-
bindl=,switch:off:Lid Switch,exec,hyprctl keyword monitor "eDP-1, preferred, auto, auto"
bindl=,switch:on:Lid Switch,exec,hyprctl keyword monitor "eDP-1, disable"
Laptop Brightness: Pressing the dedicated brightness keys (XF86MonBrightnessUp/Down) calls brightnessctl. Adjust the percentage values to your preference. Lid Switch: Disables or re-enables eDP-1 monitor. --- f you’re on a desktop, you can remove these.
Basic Window Navigation
SUPER + Q: Closes (kills) the currently active window.
SUPER + Shift + V: Pins a window to stay on top.
SUPER + Shift + C: Centers the active window on screen.
Alt + Return: Toggles fullscreen on the active window.
SUPER + Tab: Toggles whether the active window floats or tiles.
SUPER + R: Toggles the window’s split orientation (horizontal/vertical).
Scratchpad
These lines define scratchpad-like workspaces named overview and running.
SUPER + ~ toggles the special workspace named overview.
Typically, code:49 maps to the key above Tab (~ / \ on some keyboards), but confirm your own keycodes with wev or similar.
Scrolling Between Workspaces
SUPER + Scroll: Cycles through available workspaces (scroll up or down).
SUPER + Left Mouse Button (hold & drag): Moves the active window.
SUPER + Right Mouse Button (hold & drag): Resizes the active window.
SUPER + Shift + Arrow: Moves the window in that direction.
SUPER + Arrow: Resizes the active window (width/height changes).
