hyprland keybind prob

2026-06-29 10:35 UTC

so I’m trying to setup binds for Hyprland so that I can resize windows w/o having to use my mouse. the default config comes with mouse resizing (which works). and as my config is based off the default, I copied it and adjusted accordingly to my binds and the wiki. hl.bind(mainMod … " + ALT + left", hl.dsp.window.resize({20,0})) but it does not work and instead gives me 2 error msgs. Your config has errors: =[C]:-1: hl.window.resize: ‘x’ and ‘y’ are required hyprland.lua:327: hl.bind: dispatcher must be a dispatcher (e.g. hl.dsp.window.close()) or a lua function under hl.dsp.window the wiki contains the resize({ x, y, relative?, window? }) “method”. I can’t figure out if I’m doing smth wrong or just this specific thing is broken. I asked our benevolent AI mistress but it was too busy bickering and giving me pre 0.55 Hyprlang configs. after I informed the clanker that Hyprland stopped using Hyprlang, it confidentally gave me the wrong Lua config and again w confidence told me to use it. it did not work. Runtime error in lua: =[C]:-1: hl.window.resize: ‘x’ and ‘y’ are required

Try to use hl.bind(mainMod … " + ALT + left", hl.dsp.window.resize({x = 20, y = 0})) IIRC that is the correct syntax, but I haven’t checked.

Here is what I use. shiftMod is a variable I set up which is just mainMod + Shift -- Resize Window Horizontal hl.bind(shiftMod .. " + left", hl.dsp.window.resize({ x = -40, y = 0, relative = -1, window = activewindow })) hl.bind(shiftMod .. " + right", hl.dsp.window.resize({ x = 40, y = 0, relative = 1, window = activewindow })) -- -- Resize Window Vertaclly hl.bind(shiftMod .. " + up", hl.dsp.window.resize({ x = 0, y = -40, relative = -1, window = activewindow })) hl.bind(shiftMod .. " + down", hl.dsp.window.resize({ x = 0, y = 40, relative = 1, window = activewindow }))

Does anyone know what was up with the removal of Super+J and Super+P to resize the windows? I guess I should have read the notes but every time updates break shit I never seem to have the patience to stop what I’m doing that day and check.
