How can I use Super key (Win Key) instead of ALT? #837
-
Hello everyone! I started using Linux like a year ago and I am loving using i3 and Hyprland WM. But I need Windows for Photoshop, for Substance Painter..etc and two days ago I installed Komorebi and trying to get familiar with it. I am not a coder, so I know very little but I kind of familiar with the configuration files as I use them in i3wm and Hyprland. My question is, how can I use win key instead of alt key? Because I am using super key on Linux to avoid my app shortcuts (such as Blender shortcuts or Photoshop Shortcuts) to clash with the window manager shortcuts. On Windows, when I try to do it, such as to change the workspace with win key, instead of changing work space, it is doing windows stuff, whatever win + pressed key is doing in windows. Is there a way to disable Windows to use those default shortcuts and use Komorobi with Super key instead of ALT? This way, I would be less confused when I jump back and forth with my Windows and Linux configurations. Sorry if my question has a very obvious answer which I dont know, I could not find an anwer on Google. Thank you everyone for your help, and thanks to the developpers for this wonderful window manager! Cheers! |

AutoHotKey supports this to some extent, but you may still have issues with shortcuts like reserved Win+L; it's worth checking on the AHK forums about the latest status of the various reserved shortcuts which use the Win key and if they can be overridden using AHK |

Hello! Thank you very much for replying so quickly my noob question between all of the hard work you have, I really appreciate it. Thank you also for guiding me towards a way where I can search for a solution, that is very kind of you. In the mean time I will continue using it as it is and it definitely improves my user experience in Windows! Thanks for the hard work on this tiling window manager. :) |

There is now a sample starter AHK configuration on the docs site: https://lgug2z.github.io/komorebi/common-workflows/autohotkey.html |
