Hotkeys

Defaults

Everything lives under SUPER + ALT, which Omarchy 4 leaves largely free.

Keys Action
SUPER + ALT + O Open the Spaces picker
SUPER + ALT + N Next space
SUPER + ALT + I Show the current policy as a notification
SUPER + ALT + P Switch to personal
SUPER + ALT + W Switch to work

Installing them

Append to ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua:

o.bind("SUPER + ALT + O", "Spaces picker", "omarchy menu summon spaces")
o.bind("SUPER + ALT + N", "Next space", "omarchy-spaces next")
o.bind("SUPER + ALT + I", "Space status",
  "bash -lc 'omarchy-notification-send \"$(omarchy-spaces status)\"'")
o.bind("SUPER + ALT + P", "Space: Personal", "omarchy-spaces switch personal")
o.bind("SUPER + ALT + W", "Space: HiScale", "omarchy-spaces switch work")

Then apply and check:

hyprctl reload
hyprctl configerrors

An empty configerrors means it took.

Workspaces

The numbers are slots within the active space, not real workspace ids, which is how the higher ranges stay reachable. See Workspaces and windows.

Keys Action
SUPER + 1 to 0 Go to slot 1 to 10 of the active space
SUPER + SHIFT + 1 to 0 Move the focused window to that slot
SUPER + ALT + SHIFT + P Send the focused window to personal
SUPER + ALT + SHIFT + W Send the focused window to work

These replace Omarchy's own SUPER+1..0 and SUPER+SHIFT+1..0, so the snippet in hypr/spaces.lua unbinds them first:

for i = 1, 10 do
  local key = "code:" .. tostring(i + 9)
  hl.unbind("SUPER + " .. key)
  hl.unbind("SUPER + SHIFT + " .. key)
  o.bind("SUPER + " .. key, "Workspace " .. i .. " (this space)",
    "omarchy-spaces workspace " .. i)
  o.bind("SUPER + SHIFT + " .. key, "Move window to workspace " .. i .. " (this space)",
    "omarchy-spaces move-to-workspace " .. i)
end

Adding a key for a new space

One line per space, pointing at the space id:

o.bind("SUPER + ALT + S", "Space: Side project", "omarchy-spaces switch side")

Check for conflicts first

omarchy menu keybindings --print | grep "SUPER ALT"

SUPER + ALT is not entirely free in Omarchy 4. These are taken by default:

Keys Omarchy default
SUPER + ALT + SPACE Apps menu
SUPER + ALT + arrows Move window into a group
SUPER + ALT + TAB Next window in group
SUPER + ALT + G Move window out of group
SUPER + ALT + S Move window to scratchpad
SUPER + ALT + 1 to 5 Switch to group window
SUPER + ALT + brackets Resize webcam overlay

Rebinding over an Omarchy default

Unbind first, otherwise both fire:

hl.unbind("SUPER + ALT + SPACE")
o.bind("SUPER + ALT + SPACE", "Spaces picker", "omarchy menu summon spaces")

Mouse

The bar widget takes clicks too.

Click Action
Left Open the picker
Right Open the picker
Middle Next space

The picker lists every space, marks the active one, and ends with "Space settings", which opens the configuration app. Clicking it again reuses the same window rather than opening a second one.

Beyond hotkeys

Any of these commands works from a script, a terminal, or a hook. Switching is just omarchy-spaces switch <id>, and every surface reads the same state file, so the bar updates no matter where the switch came from.
