Overview

PikaOS Hyprland Keybind is a simple reference website I created while using PikaOS Hyprland Edition. After dual booting Windows with PikaOS, I was impressed by how beautiful the operating system looked. However, with so many keybindings available in Hyprland, I needed a convenient way to remember and quickly look them up. This website serves as my personal keybinding reference guide where I can easily search and find the shortcuts I need.

The website organizes keybindings into logical categories such as Apps, Windows, Focus, Workspace, Resize, Mouse, Audio, and System, making it easy to find the right shortcut for any task. With a clean, dark interface that matches PikaOS Hyprland's aesthetic and a simple search function, the website provides fast access to keybinding information without any unnecessary complexity.

Technical Approach

For this project, I chose to use vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any frameworks or libraries. This decision was driven by the simplicity of the use case. The website's purpose is straightforward: display keybindings in an organized manner and allow users to search through them. For such a simple requirement, adding a framework would have been unnecessary and would have introduced complexity and overhead that wasn't needed.

Using vanilla technologies kept the project lightweight and fast. The entire website loads instantly with no dependencies to download or bundle, which is perfect for a reference tool that I need to access quickly. The dark theme design matches PikaOS Hyprland's modern aesthetic, creating a cohesive experience that feels native to the operating system.

The keybindings are organized into clear categories, each displayed in its own section with a distinctive icon. Each keybinding entry shows the key combination on the left and its function on the right, presented in a clean, monospaced format that's easy to scan. The search functionality is implemented with simple JavaScript that filters the visible keybindings in real-time as you type, making it effortless to find specific shortcuts without scrolling through all categories.
