Ever forget your own keybinds? Tired of grepping through 5 different config files just to change a workspace shortcut?
Meet hyprKCS - a native, fast GUI written in Rust & GTK4. It parses your config (and recursively sourced files!) to give you a searchable, interactive dashboard for your system.
Key Features
- Fuzzy Search: Find actions instantly (e.g., type "resize" or "volume").
- Add, Edit & Delete: Full CRUD support for your keybinds directly from the UI.
- Key Recorder: Don't type out
SUPER + SHIFT + Q. Just click "Record" and press the keys. - Deep Parsing: Reads
source = ...directives recursively across your entire setup. - Native UI: Built with Libadwaita to match your system theme (Dark/Light mode) seamlessly.
- Direct Control: Execute and test binds directly from the UI via
hyprctl. - Conflict Wizard: Automatically detects duplicate binds and walks you through resolving them interactively. No more hunting for that one duplicate
SUPER + Q. - Massive Optimization: Refactored the parser logic and switched to the
jemallocallocator. It's now lighter and faster than ever. - Smart Backups: One-click backup that recursively saves your main config and all sourced files into a timestamped directory.
Installation
Arch Linux (AUR):
yay -S hyprkcs-git
Nix:
nix run github:kosa12/hyprKCS
Technical Highlights:
- Recursive Parser: Custom Regex-based parser that handles variable resolution (
$mainMod) and recursive file sourcing. - Memory Optimization: Recently switched to
tikv-jemallocatoron Linux and optimized the parsing algorithm (removed O(n²) sorting), resulting in a negligible memory footprint (~20-30MB RSS in release mode). - Layer Shell: Uses
gtk4-layer-shellto render as a proper overlay application that respects Hyprland's window rules.
