Why Keyboard‑Centric Desktops Matter
Hyprland’s efficiency comes from its reliance on the keyboard, allowing you to keep your hands on the keys while navigating the desktop. The compositor automatically tiles applications, delivering a fast, secure, and visually customizable experience.
Getting Started with Hyprland
You can install Hyprland on any Linux distribution, but a great way to try it is through the Omarchy setup, which bundles Hyprland with a set of ready‑to‑use keyboard shortcuts.
Omarchy: Keyboard‑First Workflow
Omarchy puts the keyboard at the center of interaction:
- Super + Space – Open the application launcher.
- Super + Alt + Space – Open the Omarchy menu.
- Super + J – Stack windows horizontally.
- Super + Shift + Arrow Right – Swap windows.
All shortcuts are listed in the official Omarchy documentation.
Customising Hyprland
Hyprland is configured via a plain‑text file located at ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf. Changing values in this file lets you tweak every aspect of the desktop. For example, to disable the autogenerated warning, set autogenerated = 0 instead of 1.
