📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR completes a migration of Hyprland window manager configuration from the legacy .conf format to Lua-based configuration. The old .conf files are removed, and new .lua modules provide equivalent functionality organized as a Lua entry point that requires sub-modules and registers startup handlers.

Changes

Hyprland Lua Configuration Migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Lua tooling and configuration entry point .vscode/settings.json, dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland.lua	VS Code language server stubs configured for Hyprland Lua development. New hyprland.lua entry point requires all sub-configuration modules and registers hl.on("hyprland.start") handler to execute startup commands (Waybar, systemd services, clipboard, file manager daemon, wallpaper, notifications).
Foundational configuration modules dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/enviromentvars.lua, dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/animation.lua, dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/decoration.lua, dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/general.lua, dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/monitor.lua	Environment variables configure cursor theme, XDG session identifiers, Wayland-first GTK/GDK/Clutter backends, and Qt Wayland platform overrides. Animation module defines easing curves and animation leaf definitions for windows, borders, layers, workspaces, and zoom. Decoration sets rounding, opacity, blur, and shadow with color bindings. General configuration defines workspace gaps, border sizing/colors, layout selection, and snap behavior. Monitor sets resolution/position/transform for output.
Input handling and keybindings dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/input.lua, dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/keybindings.lua	Input configuration sets keyboard layout to US, enables mouse-follow focus, adjusts scrolling/touchpad behavior, and registers a three-finger horizontal gesture to switch workspaces. Keybindings define window control (close, floating, fullscreen), focus/workspace navigation, numeric-key workspace binding loop, mouse drag/resize, audio volume/mute/brightness/LCD adjustment with notifications, and media player controls via playerctl.
Window management and miscellaneous behavior dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/windowrules.lua, dotfiles/configs/hypr/hyprland/misc.lua	Window rules define applet floating with monitor-relative positioning, general application floating with centering, file-dialog floating and sizing, and XWayland drag-fix rules; suppress maximize requests globally. Miscellaneous settings configure wallpaper/logo defaults, font family, workspace cycling, cursor theme syncing, dwindle split preservation, and master layout display.
Color theme generation and template integration dotfiles/configs/matugen/config.toml, dotfiles/configs/matugen/templates/hyprland.lua	Matugen template configuration split into hyprlandConf and hyprlandLua sections for separate .conf and .lua color outputs. New Lua template generates configuration table with image path and hex-formatted color entries from matugen's color collection.

Poem

🐰 From configs once in .conf form we leap,
To Lua's shores where elegance runs deep,
Each module loads, each keybind takes its place,
The Hyprland setup now shows Lua's grace.
With colors flowing and animations bright,
A rabbit's window manager done just right! 🌙✨
