FAQ
How do I switch between keyboard layouts?
Edit your ~/.config/hypr/input.conf
file and add this to switch between layouts on Left Alt + Right Alt
:
# Use multiple keyboard layouts and switch between them with Left Alt + Right Alt
input {
kb_layout = us,fr
kb_options = compose:caps,grp:alts_toggle
}
You can even configure Waybar to showing your current keyboard layout in the top bar.
How do I change the default terminal to Ghostty (or Kitty)?
First install Ghostty with yay -S ghostty
, then edit ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf
and replace $terminal = alacritty
with $terminal = ghostty
. Now Super + Return
will start Ghostty! Same story for kitty.
If you'd like to match the aesthetics of the default Omarchy setup with the Tokyo Night theme in Ghostty, you can use this configuration and put it in ~/.config/ghostty/config
.
How do I get the speakers + webcam working on my Apple Studio Display?
You'd think that it should all work just plugging in USB C, but unfortunately that isn't the case. The solution I've found to make it work reliably is using the WJESOG DisplayPort + USB-A => USB-C cable. Then speakers and webcam work like a charm.
Remember that you have built-in brightness control in Omarchy for the Apple Displays (both Studio and XDR) using Ctrl + F1
to turn down brightness, Ctrl + F2
to turn it up, and Ctrl + Shift + F2
to set it to max.
How do I get rid of all the extra software?
If you don't want programs like Spotify or Obsidian or any of the other preinstalled stuff, you can very easily remove it.
Run yay -Qe
to see every package that's installed. Then you can just run yay -Rns 1password-beta 1password-cli github-cli kdenlive obs-studio obsidian pinta libreoffice-fresh signal-desktop spotify typora xournalpp zoom
to strip the system down to its essence. You can also just use Remove > Package from the Omarchy menu to remove packages one by one.
And you can use Remove > Web App from the Omarchy menu to remove any of the preinstalled web apps you don't want.
