Why Super+W for killactive

[apoptosis66]

Not a issue, it's super easy to change, but why not use Super+Q for killactive instead of Super+W? Just seems so much more natural, and nvim like to use Q for quitting things. I am curious where W even came from, is it a macOS thing?

On macOS W is for closing windows/tabs, and Q for quitting. There is a difference between the windows and the application. Not saying I like one over the other, just trying to clarify what macOS does.

I find some apps are stubborn and refuse to close sometimes. I suggest an enhancement whereby Super + W closely apps the way Wayland does and Super + Q sends a kill -9 [app pid] or kill -19 [app pid] which no app can avoid. A better explanation here https://youtu.be/m6WXrC9Mxzo?si=iVWl0IdDwhmzqano

Thanks guys I figured with DHH coming from macsOS. I haven't had an app that the Wayland way (killactive) doesn't kill or at least I haven't noticed. I just kept hitting Q out of habit ... until I changed it. :) I didn't think this preference was worth a change request but if you want too.... I do think there is some danger of Omarchy consuming all the good SUPER + KEYs.

For me Steam-helper refuses to get stop completely also I had another app but I can't remember as for now

I liked "close window" and it was familiar from macOS. Not deeper than that 😄

Where is SUPER+W defined? I don't see it defined in the .config/hypr/bindings.conf file

[apoptosis66]

Its the first line in: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/master/default/hypr/bindings/tiling.conf

I haven't looked at this project since I installed, its actually changed a lot. Mine was just in bindings.conf at one time.

[lukasgary03]

Very much is a stupid question....Where can I find the basecamp folder on my machine? I'm just used to editing it out of .config/hypr, and don't see the basecamp folder since tiling.conf isn't in that hypr folder. Appreciate the help!!

Have you ever figured this out? I would like to remap this to another key to not kill my windows all the time based on muscle memory

This thread helped me solve the issue by running a script that prevents some applications from quitting accidentally (like the browser): #1665

[lukasgary03]

Yes I did find where it was:)

~/.local/share/omarchy/default/hypr/bindings/tiling.conf

I just copied that file over to the .config folder, and edited it there rather than in the .local directory (as i understand it shouldnt edit things in the omarchy .local directory as can get overwritten during an update)

After you do that, make sure that you edit the ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf to comment out the .local tiling file, and add the one you just created at the end of the list to make sure that both files are sourced, and you don't get double triggers:)

Hope that makes sense!

Thank you, much appreciated!
