Hyprland Configuration Instructions

hyprctl switchxblayout all next

To activate the custom layout in Hyprland, follow these steps:

!!! As long as ~/utono/rpd/xkb/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/real_prog_dvorak
!!! has been copied to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols,
!!! Hyprland can make use of the layout.

!!! It is unnecessary, for Hyprland, to update the following:
!!! /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml
!!! /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
!!! /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml

!!! Also unnecessary is:
!!!
!!! localectl set-keymap

1. Create the configuration file:
   `~/.config/hypr/config/user-config.conf` with the following content:

   .. code-block:: none

      input {
          kb_layout = us,real_prog_dvorak
          kb_options = grp:alt_shift_toggle
      }

   Set ``kb_layout = us,real_prog_dvorak`` if you want Hyprland to use the
   ``us`` layout for binds. Even when ``real_prog_dvorak`` is the active layout,
   the binds will function as if the active layout is ``us``.

   To get the list of keyboard shortcuts you can put in the kb_options to toggle keyboard layouts:

      grep 'grp:.*toggle' /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst

      grp:ctrls_toggle     Both Ctrls together

2. Once configured, use the following command to switch between ``us`` and
   ``real_prog_dvorak`` layouts:

   .. code-block:: shell

      hyprctl switchxblayout all next

3. Add the following keybind to your `keybinds.conf` to simplify layout switching:

   .. code-block:: none

      bind = mainMod SHIFT, Tab, Switch xkb layout, exec, hyprctl switchxkblayout all next
