Omarchy keybind "does nothing" — check hyprctl binds first
Symptom: A keybind appears dead — no visible effect.
Diagnosis path (2026-09-14):
hyprctl binds -j— the binding is usually registered fine; the action is a legitimate compositor no-op, not a broken bind.- Example: SUPER+J (toggle split) logs "can't togglesplit in the current workspace" and stays silent when there are <2 tiled windows, or the focused window is fullscreen/floating.
- Verify the dispatch directly:
hyprctl dispatch "hl.dsp.layout('togglesplit')"and compare geometry viahyprctl clients -j, then toggle back.
Recurring root cause (added 2026-09-15): SUPER+J "stopped working again" on one workspace = the workspace layout flipped to scrolling (SUPER+L toggles it; SUPER+J gets mis-pressed). State lives in ~/.local/state/omarchy/workspace-layouts/<ws>.lua. Fix: delete that file, then hyprctl eval 'hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "N", layout = "dwindle" })'. Check that dir before debugging the binding itself.
Note: dispatch on this box uses the Lua shim syntax — see hyprctl-dispatch-lua-shim-syntax.
