### Example Key Bindings

Customize in hyprland.conf:

    # Application launch
    bind = SUPER, RETURN, exec, kitty
    bind = SUPER, B, exec, firefox
    bind = SUPER, D, exec, rofi -show drun

    # Window management
    bind = SUPER, Q, killactive
    bind = SUPER, F, fullscreen
    bind = SUPER, SHIFT, F, togglefloating

    # Window navigation
    bind = SUPER, H, movefocus, l
    bind = SUPER, L, movefocus, r
    bind = SUPER, J, movefocus, d
    bind = SUPER, K, movefocus, u

    # Workspaces
    bind = SUPER, 1, workspace, 1
    bind = SUPER, 2, workspace, 2
    bind = SUPER SHIFT, 1, movetoworkspace, 1
    bind = SUPER SHIFT, 2, movetoworkspace, 2

    bind = SUPER SHIFT, Q, exit
    bind = , Print, exec, grim

### Mouse Bindings

    # Mouse bindings
    bindm = SUPER, mouse:272, movewindow
    bindm = SUPER, mouse:273, resizewindow

## Tips

- Bind syntax: bind = MODS, KEY, dispatcher, params

- Supports flags: r (release), l (locked), e (repeat)

- Use pass dispatcher for global keybinds

- Window rules allow matching by class for app-specific behavior

- Supports multiple keyboard layouts

- Use bindsym for symbolic key names

- Split config files for organization

- Use exec-once for startup commands
