Keybindings are defined in `config.conf` using the `bind=` directive. ## Binding Syntax ``` bind=MODIFIER,key,command,arguments ``` ### Modifier Keys * `SUPER` - Super/Windows/Meta key * `ALT` - Alt key * `CTRL` - Control key * `SHIFT` - Shift key * `NONE` - No modifier Multiple modifiers can be combined with `+`: * `SUPER+SHIFT` * `ALT+SHIFT` * `CTRL+SUPER` ### Key Names Key names can be determined using the `wev` or `xev` command. Common keys include: * Letters: `a-z` * Numbers: `1-9`, `0` * Special keys: `Return`, `space`, `Tab`, `backslash` * Arrow keys: `Left`, `Right`, `Up`, `Down` ## Default Keybindings ### System Control Reload the configuration file without restarting ``` bind=SUPER,r,reload_config ``` Exit Mango compositor ``` bind=SUPER,m,quit ``` ### Application Launching Launch application launcher (rofi) ``` bind=Alt,space,spawn,rofi -show drun ``` Launch terminal (foot) ``` bind=Alt,Return,spawn,foot ``` Close the focused window ``` bind=ALT,q,killclient, ``` ### Window Focus Focus next window in stack ``` bind=SUPER,Tab,focusstack,next ``` Focus window in direction (left, right, up, down) ``` bind=ALT,Left,focusdir,left bind=ALT,Right,focusdir,right bind=ALT,Up,focusdir,up bind=ALT,Down,focusdir,down ``` ### Window Manipulation Swap window with adjacent window in direction ``` bind=SUPER+SHIFT,Up,exchange_client,up bind=SUPER+SHIFT,Down,exchange_client,down bind=SUPER+SHIFT,Left,exchange_client,left bind=SUPER+SHIFT,Right,exchange_client,right ``` ### Window States Toggle window global state (visible on all tags) ``` bind=SUPER,g,toggleglobal, ``` Toggle overview mode ``` bind=ALT,Tab,toggleoverview, ``` Toggle window floating state ``` bind=ALT,backslash,togglefloating, ``` Toggle window maximized state ``` bind=ALT,a,togglemaximizescreen, ``` Toggle window fullscreen state ``` bind=ALT,f,togglefullscreen, ``` Toggle fake fullscreen (fullscreen within window area) ``` bind=ALT+SHIFT,f,togglefakefullscreen, ``` Minimize the focused window ``` bind=SUPER,i,minimized, ``` Restore minimized window ``` bind=SUPER+SHIFT,I,restore_minimized ``` Toggle window overlay mode ``` bind=SUPER,o,toggleoverlay, ``` Toggle scratchpad visibility ``` bind=ALT,z,toggle_scratchpad ``` ### Layout Control Cycle through available layouts ``` bind=SUPER,n,switch_layout ``` Set scroller layout proportion (scroller layout only) ``` bind=ALT,e,set_proportion,1.0 ``` Cycle through proportion presets (scroller layout only) ``` bind=ALT,x,switch_proportion_preset, ``` ### Tag Navigation Switch to previous/next tag ``` bind=SUPER,Left,viewtoleft,0 bind=SUPER,Right,viewtoright,0 ``` Switch to previous/next tag that has windows ``` bind=CTRL,Left,viewtoleft_have_client,0 bind=CTRL,Right,viewtoright_have_client,0 ``` Switch to specific tag (workspace) ``` bind=Ctrl,1,view,1,0 bind=Ctrl,2,view,2,0 ... bind=Ctrl,9,view,9,0 ``` Move window to specific tag and follow it ``` bind=Alt,1,tag,1,0 bind=Alt,2,tag,2,0 ... bind=Alt,9,tag,9,0 ``` Move window to previous/next tag ``` bind=CTRL+SUPER,Left,tagtoleft,0 bind=CTRL+SUPER,Right,tagtoright,0 ``` ### Monitor Control Focus monitor in direction ``` bind=alt+shift,Left,focusmon,left bind=alt+shift,Right,focusmon,right ``` Move window to monitor in direction ``` bind=SUPER+Alt,Left,tagmon,left bind=SUPER+Alt,Right,tagmon,right ``` ### Gaps Control Increase gaps ``` bind=ALT+SHIFT,X,incgaps,1 ``` Decrease gaps ``` bind=ALT+SHIFT,Z,incgaps,-1 ``` Toggle gaps on/off ``` bind=ALT+SHIFT,R,togglegaps ``` ### Floating Window Movement Move floating window by pixels ``` bind=CTRL+SHIFT,Up,movewin,+0,-50 bind=CTRL+SHIFT,Down,movewin,+0,+50 bind=CTRL+SHIFT,Left,movewin,-50,+0 bind=CTRL+SHIFT,Right,movewin,+50,+0 ``` ### Floating Window Resizing Resize floating window by pixels ``` bind=CTRL+ALT,Up,resizewin,+0,-50 bind=CTRL+ALT,Down,resizewin,+0,+50 bind=CTRL+ALT,Left,resizewin,-50,+0 bind=CTRL+ALT,Right,resizewin,+50,+0 ``` ## Mouse Bindings Mouse bindings are defined with `mousebind=`: ``` mousebind=MODIFIER,button,command,arguments ``` ### Default Mouse Bindings Move window by dragging ``` mousebind=SUPER,btn_left,moveresize,curmove ``` Toggle maximize on click ``` mousebind=NONE,btn_middle,togglemaximizescreen,0 ``` Resize window by dragging ``` mousebind=SUPER,btn_right,moveresize,curresize ``` ## Axis Bindings Axis bindings (scroll wheel) are defined with `axisbind=`: ``` axisbind=MODIFIER,direction,command ``` ### Default Axis Bindings Switch to previous tag with windows ``` axisbind=SUPER,UP,viewtoleft_have_client ``` Switch to next tag with windows ``` axisbind=SUPER,DOWN,viewtoright_have_client ``` ## Custom Keybindings You can create custom keybindings by adding new `bind=` lines to your `config.conf`: ```conf theme={null} # Launch your preferred browser bind=SUPER,b,spawn,firefox # Launch file manager bind=SUPER,f,spawn,thunar # Custom script bind=SUPER+SHIFT,s,spawn_shell,/path/to/your/script.sh ``` ## See Also * [System Commands](/reference/system-commands) * [Window Commands](/reference/window-commands) * [Layout Commands](/reference/layout-commands) * [Tag Commands](/reference/tag-commands)
