Audited against the real Forge configuration rather than its defaults: the bindings are still in dconf, and the extension is still installed, so both the keys and the code behind them could be read directly. The port was faithful. Forge's resize() grows the window for a positive amount in every direction -- the edge only decides which side moves -- so "increase" meant grow and "decrease" meant shrink, and Y/O/I/U mapped to Wider and Taller exactly as they should have. What did not survive is direction. Forge resized one named EDGE: Y pulled the left edge leftward, O pushed the right edge rightward, and the window opened from the side you asked for. Hyprland resizes along an axis and lets the layout pick the border, so eight distinct behaviours collapse onto four and the direction is not expressible at all in dwindle. Correct on paper, wrong under the hands: the keys that used to pull a window open from one side now push it from the other, which reads as the pair being swapped. So the sizes are inverted from Forge's naming on purpose. Y and O shrink, B and M grow, I and U shorten, N and Comma lengthen. Faithfulness to a mapping nobody can feel is worth less than keys that behave the way their owner reaches for them, and the reason is written where the next person will find it. Also fixes the Home Assistant accessories dropdown, which looked glitchy for a reason that was not performance. The resting card hid the instant the section opened -- a Column skips invisible children, so everything above snapped up while the expanded grid was still sliding open underneath. It now collapses on the same curve and duration as the section replacing it. This was the only control with a resting and an expanded form that swap, which is why it was the only one that looked wrong. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BRvzt4H8XXLPVH5MyYdk9L
Panama
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a user set up their Fedora system with one command.
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
~/.local/share/Panama/install
install runs everything in setup/scripts/ in order:
| Script | Does |
|---|---|
install-packages |
Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), then the four package lists in setup/packages/ |
link-dotfiles |
Symlinks config/dot/<name> → ~/.config/<name> |
change-settings |
Copies config/copy/ over /, applies gsettings, enables user services |
Existing configs are moved to config/old/ rather than overwritten.
Desktops
Panama configures two desktops that coexist. Both sessions stay available in GDM, so you can switch back and forth while you settle in.
GNOME
The original setup: Forge for tiling, Dash-to-Dock, Openbar, Vitals,
AppIndicator support. Configured through config/dot/forge/ and gsettings.
Hyprland
A from-scratch replacement built to reproduce the GNOME setup closely enough that muscle memory transfers — same keybinds, same panel contents, same dock, same Tokyo Night Moon palette.

config/dot/hypr/ |
Compositor config. Lua, not hyprlang — see its README |
config/dot/quickshell/ |
The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Settings, Screen Intelligence, focus sessions, quick settings, notifications, screenshot UI |
config/dot/vicinae/ |
Raycast-style launcher, themed |

Fallback launcher, in case the shell fails to start |

covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
