Hyprland integration

dashboard.lua is a section for the Lua-based Hyprland config in ~/.config/hypr/. It is not sourced automatically; wire it in once:

ln -s ~/Programming/GIT/conky-theme-udt/hypr/dashboard.lua \
      ~/.config/hypr/sections/dashboard.lua

and add to ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua:

require("sections.dashboard")

One change to make by hand

sections/autostart.lua runs hl.exec_cmd("conky"), which starts the old desktop-layer conky. The dashboard replaces it, so change that line to:

hl.exec_cmd("conky -c ~/.config/conky/conky.conf")

Leaving both would run two conky instances.

Bindings

SUPER+S toggles the dashboard. SUPER+D is already taken by the unnamed special workspace, and that workspace also hosts the btop scratchpad, which is why the dashboard uses its own special:dash.

The bind is written with a literal "SUPER" rather than hl.mainMod: keybindings.lua declares mainMod as a file-local, so it is not visible to other sections.

Rule keys

workspace, float, border_size and rounding are all used by existing rules in sections/look_and_feel.lua and sections/workspaces.lua. fullscreen and no_focus are used nowhere else in this config, so they were checked against the runtime instead: hl.window_rule rejects an unknown field with unknown field '<name>', and neither of these produces that error, so the Lua API accepts both.

Testing the toggle by hand

Under the Lua config, hyprctl dispatch evaluates its argument as Lua, so the plain Hyprland syntax does not work:

# wrong: ')' expected near 'dash'
hyprctl dispatch togglespecialworkspace dash

# right
hyprctl dispatch 'hl.dsp.workspace.toggle_special("dash")'

Check which special workspace is showing with:

hyprctl monitors -j | jq -r '.[0].specialWorkspace.name'
