The sidebar was a flat scan of thirty-one rows; now it reads like a settings app. Multi-subject categories (Input, Network & Sharing, Applications, Users & Accounts, Privacy & Security, System) carry an Appearance-style tab strip above the page, drawn by the shell so the leaf pages themselves are untouched. The taxonomy lives in one new file, services/SettingsRoutes.qml; the sidebar, the strip, route validation, search breadcrumbs, and both generators derive from it. ShellState.settingsPage still holds leaf ids, so every deep link, IPC call, and search result keeps working — and now lands on the exact tab. Dictation moves out of Sound onto its own page under Input, with a handoff back to Sound for the microphone. The strip scrolls when System's nine tabs outgrow a tiled window. All 161 contracts pass.

# Windows and workspaces
|
|
|
|
## How the split is chosen
|
|
|
|
A new window splits the space of the window that had focus. Whether it splits
|
|
beside or below depends on which way that space is longer, which usually
|
|
matches what you were about to do anyway.
|
|
|
|
When it does not, `Super + Ctrl + G` flips the split of the focused window,
|
|
and `Super + Ctrl + Z` and `Super + Ctrl + V` decide the direction the *next*
|
|
window will take before you open it.
|
|
|
|
## Resizing
|
|
|
|
`Super + Shift` plus `Y`, `O`, `B`, `M` adjusts width; `I`, `U`, `N` and
|
|
comma adjust height. These are inverted from what their letters suggest, on
|
|
purpose, and the reason is written in `config/dot/hypr/keybinds.lua` next to
|
|
the binds.
|
|
|
|
For anything finer, hold `Super` and drag with the right mouse button.
|
|
|
|
## Fullscreen and floating
|
|
|
|
`Super + U` makes the focused window fullscreen. `Super + Ctrl + C` lifts it
|
|
out of the layout to float, and `Super + Ctrl + Shift + C` pins it so it
|
|
follows you between workspaces. A floating window can be moved by holding
|
|
`Super` and dragging with the left button.
|
|
|
|
## Workspaces
|
|
|
|
Ten of them, on `Alt + 1` through `Alt + 0`. `Alt + H` and `Alt + L` step
|
|
between neighbours, and `Alt + Shift` plus a number sends the current window
|
|
somewhere without following it.
|
|
|
|
On a machine with more than one display, workspaces belong to whichever
|
|
screen has focus. If you would rather pin workspaces one through ten to your
|
|
main display and give the second screen its own, that is a switch on the
|
|
Desktop & Dock settings page.
|
|
|
|
## Projects
|
|
|
|
A project is the set of windows you open together: which applications, which
|
|
workspace each was on, and for a terminal, which directory it was in.
|
|
|
|
Arrange things the way you want them, then run **Save Layout as Project**
|
|
from the launcher. **Open Project** lays it out again on free workspaces, so
|
|
it never lands on top of what you are already doing. An application that
|
|
refuses to open twice is moved into place rather than launched again.
