Hotkeys

This is the full keyboard map for the Marchyo desktop. It’s a reference — you don’t need to memorize it. Skim it once to see what’s possible, then come back when you need a specific bind. If you’d rather search than scroll, press Super + K at any time for a live, searchable cheat sheet drawn from your own configuration.

Throughout, Super is the primary modifier — the Windows or Command key. Nearly every shortcut starts there.

Hold Super and press a letter to launch an app. (Coming from omarchy? These are plain Super + <letter> chords, not Super + Shift.)

Keys Action
Super + Return Terminal (Ghostty)
Super + B Web browser
Super + F File manager
Super + R App launcher (vicinae)
Super + M Music player
Super + E Editor
Super + O Obsidian
Super + G Messenger
Super + / Password manager (focuses 1Password if open)
Super + . Emoji picker
Super + Shift + I Input-method config (fcitx5)

A set of sites open as their own standalone windows on Super + Shift chords:

Keys Action
Super + Shift + A ChatGPT
Super + Shift + G GitHub
Super + Shift + Y YouTube
Super + Shift + W WhatsApp
Super + Shift + Z Zoom
Super + Shift + X X
Super + Shift + P Google Photos

Discord, Google Calendar, and Gmail are registered too but ship no default key — open them from the launcher, or give them a key of your own.

Keys Action
Super + W Close active window
Super + J Toggle split direction
Super + T Toggle floating
Super + P Toggle pseudo-tile
Super + ←/→/↑/↓ Move focus
Super + Shift + ←/→/↑/↓ Swap window in a direction

Super + Page_Up Full screen
Super + Ctrl + F Tiled full screen
Super + Alt + F Full width
Super + Left-drag Move window (mouse)
Super + Right-drag Resize window (mouse)

These work everywhere, including the terminal, because they send terminal-safe key sequences under the hood:

Keys Action

Super + V Paste
Super + X Cut

Group several windows into one tiled slot and tab between them:

Keys Action
