Macbook COMMAND key

[linc01]

Description

Hello, I have a fresh install hyprland + arch on a macbook pro, but the SUPER key binding not work. There's no windows key but a COMMAND key. I change the conf binding from SUPER to COMMAND but it's not work with an error "COMMAND is not a void mod". How to replace SUPER key to COMMAND?

Try getting the right name with wev, run it, press it a couple times and see what shows up on the log on the "sym: " section.

The "Command" key IS the "Super" key on Linux. These are all just different names for the same key on the backend, but by convention people call it "Super" (or sometimes "Meta") on Linux, "Windows" on Windows, and "Command" on Mac.

Thanks, but I can't open a terminal to do the test.

got it , but the default binding SUPER(COMMAND)+Q not work, it's just a fresh installation. SUPER(COMMAND)+Q works fine on my PC with the Windows key.

@linc01 Maybe you can add this to the config and do the testing

exec-once = <terminal of your choice>

I wonder if the issue is that they don't have kitty installed 🤔

I did, not work, seems that all key binding related functions are not work, or may be the keyboard not work as soon as hyprland loaded.

Kitty and alacritty are installed. It's not only the terminal apps out of order, but everything related with the keyboard bindings.

#autogenerated = 1 # remove this line to remove the warning

Only this works in hyprland.conf
