Layout editor

The layout tab is where you spend most of your time. It’s split into two panes:

• Left: a spatial canvas showing your monitors as draggable rectangles
• Right: an inspector showing every property of the selected monitor

Drag monitors on the canvas to reposition them. The inspector updates in real time. When you need pixel-perfect placement, use the Position X and Position Y fields in the inspector.

Main controls

Key	Action
1 2 3	Switch tabs (layout, profiles, workspaces)
a	Apply current draft or selected profile
s	Save current draft as a named profile
r	Reset from live Hyprland state
q	Quit

Canvas controls

Input	Action
Mouse drag	Move the selected monitor
Arrow keys	Move by 100px
Shift + arrows	Move by 10px
Ctrl + arrows	Move by 1px
[ ]	Cycle selected monitor
Tab	Switch focus between canvas and inspector

Snap hints appear while dragging, but keyboard movement is freeform – you’re never forced into a grid.

Inspector

Press Enter on any inspector field to edit it:

• Mode opens a scrollable picker with every supported resolution and refresh rate
• Scale, Position X, Position Y accept typed numeric values
• Transform, VRR, Mirror have their own selectors

Save dialog

Press s from the layout tab. You’ll see a text input and the list of existing profiles.

• Type to filter existing profiles
• Arrow keys to select one (overwrites after confirmation)
• Type a new name and press Enter to create a fresh profile

Workspace planner

The third tab lets you distribute workspaces across monitors. Three strategies:

Strategy	What it does
sequential	Groups workspaces in chunks (e.g., 1-3 on monitor A, 4-6 on monitor B)
interleave	Round-robins workspaces across monitors (1 on A, 2 on B, 3 on A, …)
manual	You define explicit rules for each workspace

You can configure:

• Whether workspace rules are enabled at all
• Maximum workspace count
• Group size for sequential mode
• Monitor ordering

The workspace plan is stored inside each profile. When the daemon applies a profile, it applies workspace rules too – layout and workspace assignment in one shot.
