Feature presentations

Universal copy/paste on Super + C / V

No more remembering that terminals need Shift + Ctrl + C / V and all other apps use Ctrl + C / V. Now you can use Super + C / V as a unified shortcut for copy/paste. Super + X is also mapped as cut, but note that this doesn't (and never did) work in the terminal.

This has required that we move app shortcuts to Super + Shift + [letter]. So terminal now starts on Super + Shift + Return, Calendar on Super + Shift + C, etc.

This also means fullscreen is now Super + F (instead of F11) and toggling a window between tiling/floating happens on Super + T.

For existing installations, this is an optional change that you'll be prompted to opt-in to during migration. For new installations, this is the new default. As always, you can see your keybindings on Super + K.

Clipboard manager on Super + Ctrl + V

Expose Walker's built-in clipboard manager on Super + Ctrl + V.

Tiling groups

Tiling groups allows you to put any combination of windows into a tabbed group. You can move windows in and out of the group or remove the group entirely.

Hotkeys:

# Toggle groups
bindd = SUPER, G, Toggle window grouping, togglegroup
bindd = SUPER ALT, G, Move active window out of group, moveoutofgroup

# Join groups
bindd = SUPER ALT, LEFT, Move window to group on left, moveintogroup, l
bindd = SUPER ALT, RIGHT, Move window to group on right, moveintogroup, r
bindd = SUPER ALT, UP, Move window to group on top, moveintogroup, u
bindd = SUPER ALT, DOWN, Move window to group on bottom, moveintogroup, d

# Navigate a single set of grouped windows
bindd = SUPER ALT, TAB, Next window in group, changegroupactive, f
bindd = SUPER ALT SHIFT, TAB, Previous window in group, changegroupactive, b

# Activate window in a group by number
bindd = SUPER ALT, 1, Switch to group window 1, changegroupactive, 1
bindd = SUPER ALT, 2, Switch to group window 2, changegroupactive, 2
bindd = SUPER ALT, 3, Switch to group window 3, changegroupactive, 3
bindd = SUPER ALT, 4, Switch to group window 4, changegroupactive, 4
bindd = SUPER ALT, 5, Switch to group window 5, changegroupactive, 5

Note: These hotkeys are only available if you opt-in to the new Omarchy hotkeys brought on by the universal copy/paste change. This is due to the use of Super + G (which would otherwise conflict with the old Signal hotkey). If you don't opt-in, you can just copy these bindings to your own ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf file and set them as you please.

Smart screenshot selection

We've replaced the three different screenshot keybindings with a single smart version that selects windows when you hover over them, the whole screen on hover on the top bar, and custom region if you drag. This is now all available on PrtScr. This has made room for Shift + PrtScr to use the same smart selection, but then send the result straight to the clipboard without going through Slurp for editing first.

Live theme changes for neovim

The built-in themes now have live changes out of the box. For extra themes, you'll still need to restart neovim after first installing/selecting it.

Live theme changes for Obsidian

Select the Omarchy theme under Appearance > Themes in Obsidian, and you'll get live theme changes.

Note: Your vaults must live in ~/Documents or ~/Dropbox for this to be picked up automatically. If you use a different location for your vaults, you must manually edit ~/.local/state/omarchy/obsidian-vaults to add it.

Live theme changes for Cursor

Just like VSCode, we now have live theming for Cursor. It's not supported by all themes, though. Of the built-in, you'll get Catppuccin, Catppuccin Latte, Everforest, Gruvbox, Nord, Ristretto, Rose Pine, Tokyo Night. The others are not supported.

Aether theme editor

Create your own Omarchy theme with @bjarneo's excellent Aether app. You can base your theme on an existing set, find the right wallpaper, and instantly apply it or export to share.

Flexoki Light Theme

Windows VM

Running a Windows VM inside of Omarchy gives you an easy way out of running those few, rare applications that simply must be native, and aren't available on Linux. With Install > Windows, you'll end up with a Docker-based Windows VM. Note: There's no GPU pass-through (yet?), so it's not meant for gaming.
