Omarchy customizations

Omarchy customizations
Omarchy
An opinionated Arch + Hyprland Setup

Omarchy is DHH's Hyperland Arch config. I'm enjoying a lot more than Hyde already because it has (for me) less insane config and defaults.

This is a working list of the things I'm customizing after installing Omarchy.

Ctrl instead of Capslock

Capslock out of the box calls xcompose for emojis. I prefer to have it by a ctrl key for my dev/tmux/vim workflows.

nvim ~/.config/hyprland/input.conf

change the kb_options value:

kb_options = ctrl:nocaps

Claude, not ChatGPT

Open claude instead of chatgpt

nvim ~/.config/hyprland/bindings.conf

Change the ChatGPT bind to:

bindd = SUPER, A, Claude, exec, $webapp="https://claude.ai"

Zed (Code IDE)

curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | sh

Elixir

EDIT: You can now install with the menu: Super Alt Space > Install > Development > Elixir

mise list-all erlang

mise install erlang@[VERSION]

sh ~/.local/share/mise/installs/erlang/[VERSION]/activate

mise list-all elixir

mise install elixir@[VERSION]

mise use -g erlang@[VERSION]

mise use -g elixir@[VERSION]

Screensaver

Instead of the default Omarchy logo. To edit the logo: Super Alt Space > Style > Screen Saver
