# Keyboard, Mouse, Trackpad
|
|
|
|
Hyprland lets you configure all your inputs in great detail. You can change the keyboard repeat to be supersonically fast or make the trackpad use natural scrolling. You change all of it in `~/.config/hypr/input.lua`, which you can also reach via _Setup > Input_ in the Omarchy menu (`Super + Space`). Anything you set there replaces Omarchy's defaults.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
hl.config({
|
|
input = {
|
|
-- Use multiple keyboard layouts and switch between them with Left Alt + Right Alt
|
|
kb_layout = "us,dk",
|
|
kb_options = "compose:caps,shift:both_capslock_cancel,grp:alts_toggle",
|
|
|
|
-- Change speed of keyboard repeat
|
|
repeat_rate = 40,
|
|
repeat_delay = 600,
|
|
|
|
-- Increase sensitivity for mouse/trackpad (default: 0)
|
|
sensitivity = 0.35,
|
|
|
|
touchpad = {
|
|
-- Use natural (inverse) scrolling
|
|
natural_scroll = true,
|
|
|
|
-- Use two-finger clicks for right-click instead of lower-right corner
|
|
clickfinger_behavior = true,
|
|
|
|
-- Control the speed of your scrolling
|
|
scroll_factor = 0.3,
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
-- Scroll faster in the terminal
|
|
o.window("(Alacritty|kitty|foot)", { scroll_touchpad = 1.5 })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can [see all the input options](https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Basics/Variables/#input) on the Hyprland wiki for inputs.

By default, Omarchy uses CapsLock as the compose key for [quick emojis](07-hotkeys.md#quick-emojis) and [other completions](07-hotkeys.md#quick-completions). If you'd rather use CapsLock as Caps Lock, move the compose key elsewhere by changing `compose:caps` in `kb_options`. For example, this moves the compose key to Right Alt:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
hl.config({
|
|
input = {
|
|
kb_options = "compose:ralt",
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Trackpad gestures
|
|
|
|
You can also turn on [touchpad gestures](https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Advanced-and-Cool/Gestures/), like swiping with three fingers to change workspaces:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
hl.gesture({ fingers = 3, direction = "horizontal", action = "workspace" })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Dell XPS laptops with a haptic touchpad, you can also set the click strength to low, mid, or high under _Trigger > Hardware > Touchpad Haptics_.
|
|
|
|
### Typing in Chinese, Japanese, and other languages
|
|
|
|
Select Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified, Pinyin), or Chinese (Traditional, Zhuyin) when the installer asks for your keyboard. Omarchy configures the keyboard and matching input engine automatically, including during offline first-boot setup. Japanese uses Mozc, Korean uses standard two-set Hangul, Simplified Chinese uses Pinyin, and Traditional Chinese uses Chewing's standard Zhuyin arrangement. Japanese (US keyboard) provides Mozc with a US keyboard layout.
|
|
|
|
Typing starts in Latin mode. Press `Ctrl + Shift + Space` to switch input on or off. On Japanese keyboards, 全角/半角 toggles input, 変換 turns it on, and 無変換 turns it off. On a Korean keyboard layout, dedicated 한/영 and 한자 keys switch Hangul and convert to Hanja. `Ctrl + Space` stays available for Tmux and Herdr; CapsLock stays the compose key.
|
|
|
|
To add another language later, use _Setup > Input Language_ or run `omarchy setup input` (or `omarchy setup input mozc`, `hangul`, `pinyin`, or `chewing`). Your existing input methods and custom switching keys are preserved. For alternative engine layouts or keys, install `fcitx5-configtool` with `omarchy pkg add fcitx5-configtool` and launch it from a terminal. Selecting an input language does not change the desktop language.
|
|
|
|
On keyboards without dedicated input keys, use `Ctrl + Shift + Space`. This input shortcut takes precedence over app shortcuts such as code completion; you can change it in `fcitx5-configtool`. Tapping Shift alone is not an input switch: Omarchy uses both Shift keys for CapsLock, which changes how input methods see Shift release. Input engines and the CapsLock compose sequences use the [Fcitx5](https://fcitx-im.org/) service already running in every session.

### Use ALT as SUPER
|
|
|
|
On some keyboards, it's not convenient to use the primary meta key (Windows/cmd key) as SUPER. You can change this to be ALT instead using this change:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
hl.config({
|
|
input = {
|
|
kb_options = "compose:caps,shift:both_capslock_cancel,altwin:swap_alt_win",
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
