    Hyperland in Linux

    Hyperland is a tiling window manager for Linux, designed to provide a customizable and efficient window management experience. This guide will help you get started with Hyperland, similar to how you would configure Qtile.

    Installation

    You can install Hyperland on your Linux system using the following command, assuming your package manager supports it.

    bashCopy code

    sudo apt-get install hyperland # For Debian/Ubuntu sudo pacman -S hyperland # For Arch Linux

    Getting Started

    1. Configuration File: Create a configuration file for Hyperland. The configuration file is usually located at ~/.config/hyperland/config.py. You can copy the default configuration file to get started.

      bashCopy code

      cp /usr/share/hyperland/config.py ~/.config/hyperland/

    2. Edit Configuration: Open the configuration file in a text editor and customize it to your liking. This is where you define keybindings, layout settings, and other preferences.

      bashCopy code

      nano ~/.config/hyperland/config.py

    3. Keybindings: Define keybindings for common window management tasks like moving, resizing, and launching applications. Here's an example:

      pythonCopy code

      from libqtile.config import Key from libqtile.command import lazy mod = "mod4" # Use the Windows key as the modifier keys = [ Key([mod], "j", lazy.layout.down()), Key([mod], "k", lazy.layout.up()), Key([mod, "shift"], "j", lazy.layout.shuffle_down()), Key([mod, "shift"], "k", lazy.layout.shuffle_up()), Key([mod], "Return", lazy.layout.swap_main()), Key([mod], "Tab", lazy.next_layout()), Key([mod], "w", lazy.window.kill()), Key([mod], "r", lazy.spawn("dmenu_run")), ]

    4. Autostart Applications: You can add applications to auto-start with Hyperland by modifying the autostart section in the configuration file. For example:

      pythonCopy code

      autostart = [ "compton", "nm-applet", "blueman-applet", ]

    5. Appearance: Customize the appearance of Hyperland by defining your preferred colors, fonts, and widgets.

    6. Restart Hyperland: After making changes to the configuration file, restart Hyperland to apply your settings.

      bashCopy code

      hyperland -c ~/.config/hyperland/config.py

    7. Enjoy Tiling: Start enjoying the tiling window management experience that Hyperland provides. Use your defined keybindings to navigate and manage windows efficiently.
