v0.4.0: Profiles on a keybind, and more keyboards ⌨️

[BlueManCZ]

v0.3.0 taught HyprMod to speak Lua. v0.4.0 is about making the everyday config work smoother: switching profiles without touching the mouse, juggling multiple keyboard layouts, and a long list of Lua migration fixes from real configs you threw at it.

Command-line profile switching

Profiles are no longer window-only. You can now drive them straight from a keybind or a script:

• hyprmod profile apply <name> switches to a profile without opening the app
• hyprmod profile next / previous cycle through them alphabetically, wrapping around, so a single keybind is enough to rotate through everything
• hyprmod profile list prints your saved profiles with the active one marked

Bind profile next to a key and flip between your setups instantly:

bind = SUPER, P, exec, hyprmod profile next

Multiple keyboard layouts

The Keyboard layouts row now opens a proper editor: add, reorder, edit, and remove input sources, where each source is a layout plus its variant. It writes clean kb_layout and kb_variant entries, so multilingual setups finally have a real home in the UI.

Smoother Lua migrations

A lot of v0.4.0 is hardening the Hyprlang to Lua conversion against configs that broke it:

• Modifier variables ($shiftMod = $mainMod SHIFT) no longer leak a broken keysym
• Concatenated and mixed-case modifiers (SUPERSHIFT, Alt) decompose correctly, and nested match { … } blocks nest properly
• Workspace layoutopt rules become a proper nested layout_opts table
• Binds using the global dispatcher (app-registered shortcuts) now map correctly
• The first-run setup dialog no longer reappears when your include lives in a sourced sub-file, since detection now follows the whole source / require / dofile chain

Monitors and more

• Disabled monitors stay listed on the Monitors page and can be switched back on
• Re-enabling a monitor no longer overlaps another, crashes the page, or comes back at the wrong mode after a reboot
• "Refresh monitors" no longer discards unsaved changes
• The Gestures page hides itself when there is no touchpad or touchscreen to drive it
• Border colors in Lua mode no longer fail with an invalid color error
