tldr:

hyprctl --batch "keyword bind META CTRL, N, exec, ~/test.sh"
reloads active layout
ipc output
activelayout>>power-button,Belgian activelayout>>video-bus,Belgian activelayout>>power-button-1,Belgian activelayout>>ideapad-extra-buttons,Belgian activelayout>>at-translated-set-2-keyboard,Belgian activelayout>>steelseries-steelseries-rival-310-esports-mouse-keyboard,Belgian

I noticed that it happens only when / is in the command

it happens even with an invalid request :
hyprctl --batch keyword bind /

ipc

`#!/bin/sh
handle() {
echo $1
}

socat -U - UNIX-CONNECT:$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket2.sock | while read -r line; do handle "$line" ; done &
disown
`

is that a problem?

Only for edge cases. I remember setting a keybind that sets another keybind and if the layout reloads, the keystates is resetted and you need to release the meta/super key and repress it to use a new keybind

I stopped using --batch and it works
and stopped doing overly convoluted things

but idk its still a strange thing, can be closed if you don't care
it's easy to reproduce you just need to do
sleep 1 && hyprctl --batch keyword bind / bind: too few args
