Shortcuts and Mac keys
BxCachy keeps one shortcut table and renders it for xremap (Cmd-style keys, on both desktops), the Hyprland module and Plasma. Press Super+K (or run bxcachy keys sheet) to see every shortcut in your menu program.
Cmd-style keys
With Mac keys on, the Super key works like Cmd in apps: Super+C V X Z A S F T N O P R W L B I U and Super+, send the Ctrl version. In terminals Super+C/V copy and paste with Ctrl+Shift, Super+T/N/W/F become Ctrl+Shift+T/N/W/F, and the shell keys (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+A...) are left alone. bxcachy keys mac on|off toggles it.
Change a shortcut
bxcachy keys show # the table
bxcachy keys set control-center Super+Alt+C --yes
bxcachy keys reset control-center --yes
bxcachy keys conflicts # clashes with your own hyprland.lua
Your changes live in ~/.config/bxcachy/shortcuts.json. Remaps (the Cmd keys) are xremap's and cannot be changed this way.
