Keybindings

The live Hyprland configuration is authoritative. This page records confirmed ARCHMAC bindings and the binding doctrine.

Confirmed ARCHMAC bindings

Binding	Action
Super + Shift + V	Clipboard history
Standard Ctrl + C	Application copy
Standard Ctrl + V	Application paste

Important

ARCHMAC uses:

Super + Shift + V → Clipboard history

Do not replace it with the common upstream Hyprland example Super + V.

Super + V is reserved/used for another ARCHMAC action.

Why the Wiki does not invent shortcuts

Bindings evolve. A stale cheatsheet is worse than no cheatsheet.

To inspect the current binding set, use the repository configuration as the source of truth. Depending on the current config layout:

grep -RniE 'bind|keybind' ~/.config/hypr 2>/dev/null

or inspect the ARCHMAC repo:

grep -RniE 'bind|keybind' ~/projects/archmac/config 2>/dev/null

Lua binding placement

ARCHMAC uses a Lua-based Hyprland configuration.

Bindings must be placed in the actual persistent top-level bind section of the Lua configuration.

A binding may parse without configuration errors yet still fail to appear in the live compositor if it is inserted inside the wrong structural scope, such as an autostart or spawn function.

After adding or changing a binding, verify it with:

hyprctl binds

For the V bindings:

hyprctl binds | grep -A8 -B3 -E 'key: V'

Do not assume successful parsing means the binding is active.

## Updating this page

When a keybinding is changed:

1. change the canonical config
2. verify it in a live Hyprland session
3. commit the config
4. update this page
5. avoid documenting untested prospective bindings
