The scratchpad spanned the whole screen whatever was on it, which reads as a band rather than a console when it holds the single agent it is usually opened for. It now sizes to a centered panel twice as wide as it is tall, and hands the full width back as soon as a second app is on the scratchpad: two windows splitting a half-width column is worse than the band this replaced.
The panel is still drawn with workspace gaps rather than a window rule, because Hyprland resolves a rule's size once as the window maps and the console has to survive a rescale. It is always flush with the top and always centered, so two numbers describe it, and the memo that suppresses no-op rewrites compares those rather than four edges.
The window count is read on window.open and window.destroy, the two events that run after the workspace's count has settled; window.close and window.move_to_workspace both still count the window on its way out, so refitting from either reads one too many and strands the console at full width. The count is only chased while the console is on screen, since a hidden one is refitted on its way in by workspace.special_active, and every window opened anywhere on the desktop would otherwise rewrite the rule.
Monitor width and height are the panel's own pixels, so an output turned on its side still reports them the way the panel is built rather than the way it hangs. The odd transforms are the quarter turns and those swap the work area: without that a rotated 1920x1080 sized its console from 1920x1080 instead of 1080x1920 and left a 214x1367 sliver.

CapsLock is the compose key, so Caps Lock has to live somewhere else, and
both Shifts together is where it went. That combination is easy to hit by
accident while typing, and the lock then sticks until you notice it and
hit both Shifts again.
shift:both_capslock_cancel sets the lock exactly the same way, but types
the Shift keys as ALPHABETIC rather than TWO_LEVEL, so the next lone
Shift releases it. Since a misfire happens while reaching for Shift
anyway, it clears itself almost immediately.
Compose is untouched: <CAPS> stays [Multi_key, Multi_key], so the
~/.XCompose emoji sequences work as before.

Adds shift:both_capslock alongside compose:caps so pressing both Shift
keys together toggles real Caps Lock. Caps Lock alone remains the
Compose key, and single-Shift behavior is unchanged. Provides an escape
hatch when Caps Lock gets stuck on (e.g. after an fcitx5 desync).
Closes#5981

The git-era flow installed Omarchy to ~/.local/share/omarchy. In the
package-based flow it lives at /usr/share/omarchy (or, in dev mode, at
the path /etc/omarchy.conf's OMARCHY_PATH points at). Files that hard-
coded the old path broke on package installs:
- default/bash/rc: sourced ~/.local/share/omarchy/default/bash/*, so a
fresh user's terminal logged ENOENT for every line. Now sources from
$OMARCHY_PATH with /usr/share/omarchy as the safe default if the var
is unset.
- config/systemd/user/omarchy-recover-internal-monitor.service:
ExecStart pointed at %h/.local/share/omarchy/bin/. The script ships
to /usr/bin via the omarchy-installer package; point straight there.
- install/config/xcompose.sh: wrote an XCompose include line pointing
at the user-home path; use /usr/share/omarchy/ directly.
- default/hypr/paths.lua and config/hypr/hyprland.lua: fallback when
OMARCHY_PATH is unset is /usr/share/omarchy, not the home path.
Dev-only scripts (omarchy-dev-add-migration, omarchy-reinstall-git) and
the SKILL.md docs still reference the old path; those are separate
cleanups since they don't affect a fresh install's runtime.
A pass over the install scripts, dev-tools commands, and Hyprland Lua
files that I had stuffed with explain-everything preambles. Most of
those rationales (which files ship where, why hyprctl setenv doesn't
suffice, etc.) belong in commit messages or PR descriptions, not in
code people have to read forever. Kept the few comments that document
genuinely non-obvious behaviour: the keybind-env reason for hl.env in
envs.lua, why the runtime PAM seds stay scripted in
increase-lockout-limit, the chroot/--now distinction in chroot.sh, and
the dev-pkg-test split-install reason.
Lua's require() caches modules in package.loaded; without explicit
invalidation, changes to default/hypr/*.lua or ~/.config/hypr/*.lua
won't take effect after hyprctl reload even though hyprland.lua itself
re-runs.
The clear runs unconditionally — benefits both dev-link workflows
(checkout files re-evaluate after every reload) and normal users who
edit their own ~/.config/hypr/*.lua and run omarchy-restart-hyprctl.
Cost is negligible: package.loaded has a handful of entries.
Pattern matches the require_all.lua reload option (which sets
package.loaded[module] = nil before require()), but applied broadly to
the omarchy module namespace at the entry point so individual modules
don't need to opt in.
Two leftover spots still pointed at command names that were renamed in
this branch:
- default/quickshell/omarchy-shell/README.md:124 said
`omarchy restart quickshell` (renamed to `omarchy restart shell`).
- config/hypr/bindings.lua:35 had a commented-out example using bare
`omarchy-menu`. The wrapper still works that way for now, but the
canonical hot path is `omarchy-shell-ipc menu toggle root` \u2014 update
the example so users copying it learn the right pattern.
