Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on 2026-10-01. Deliberately orphaned: prior history contained a plaintext password and stays local-only on branch archive/pre-boilerplate-history. Secrets and live Hermes state are gitignored.

# Omarchy keybind "does nothing" — check `hyprctl binds` first
|
|
|
|
**Symptom:** A keybind appears dead — no visible effect.
|
|
|
|
**Diagnosis path (2026-09-14):**
|
|
1. `hyprctl binds -j` — the binding is usually registered fine; the *action* is a legitimate compositor no-op, not a broken bind.
|
|
2. 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.
|
|
3. Verify the dispatch directly: `hyprctl dispatch "hl.dsp.layout('togglesplit')"` and compare geometry via `hyprctl 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]].
