Keybindings

Default keyboard shortcuts for iNiR

These are the default keybinds shipped with iNiR. They live in ~/.config/niri/config.kdl after install.

Change them. Break them. Make them yours.

Edit ~/.config/niri/config.kdl to change keybinds. See the IPC documentation for all available iNiR targets you can bind.

Example:

~code

binds {
    // Your custom binds
    Super+P { spawn "qs" "-c" "ii" "ipc" "call" "session" "toggle"; }
}

Then reload Niri:

~code

niri msg action load-config-file

If your keybind doesn't work, you probably forgot to reload.
