Incorrect keyboard layouts after update, config not being respected | Omacom | Page 1

Hi,
I have set my keyboard layout to gb and touchpad to natural_scroll = false in .config/hypr/input.conf and after a reboot, it is still using the us layout and natural scrolling.
I have also changed the options in .local/share/omarchy/config/hypr/input.conf and rebooted but it still doesn't respect these options.

How can I resolve this?

Bump.

#

is us still in the list? does it switch with CTRL+Space?

#

you can also see what ones are active by right clicking the keyboard in the tray on the waybar

#

rustic hill is us still in the list? does it switch with CTRL+Space?

us is never configured to even be active

#

ctrl space does nothing

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

rustic hill you can also see what ones are active by right clicking the keyboard in the tray...

it says US

#

but in no config file is it set to be us

#

And I dont understand how natural_scroll can ever be enabled considering its not hyprland default to do that

Hyprland Input Config Not Being Respected · Issue #2765 · basecam...

System details i7-1355U, Omarchy 3.1.1 What's wrong? Upon updating, the configs located in the .config/ (super + shift + space -> setup -> input) are not being respected. This is my input...

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 1:28 PM

#

I've even tried putting it in the main hyprlannd config file

#

How is this even possible?

Not sure if this is exactly your problem, but, I think there is a mismatch with gb / uk and the module used to display the keyboard layout on waybar. If you have updated your hyprland.conf file or input.conf file and restarted hyperland, you should be good with the keyboard working as expected, although waybar will still show as us. You can correct waybar by doing one of the following:

creating a profile with the correct settings in ~/.config/fcitx5/profile
by installing an app to give you a graphical way of choosing the correct keyboard (fcitx5-configtool) then choosing Configure from the pop-up menu (right-click on us), then add UK and remove US.
or 3. just removing the misleading keyboard info from waybar (unless you are swapping between languages, why do you need it displayed).

Hope that helps

quick prawn Not sure if this is exactly your problem, but, I think there is a mismatch with ...

The layout is incorrect, shift 2 gives me @ instead of "

#

It's not just a visual issue on waybar

#

I'll try changing it to UK, though, rather than gb

#

I don't need it displayed on waybar, that was just to check

#

That didn't help

quick prawn Oct 23, 2025, 3:31 PM

#

Ah, ok, in which case it is probably a case of stepping through each of the config files listed in your hyprland.config screenshot and checking it is not being changed in multiple places

I have, in every possible place. I've even put it in the main hyprland.conf file and it still didn't work. I have no idea where else I can change it

quick prawn Oct 23, 2025, 3:32 PM

#

Can you confirm the location of that hyprland config file?

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:32 PM

#

ok but what does the app show if you right click the keyboard in waybar and click configure?

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:33 PM

#

there is no right click on the waybar us

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:33 PM

#

yes there is and it will open this

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

quick prawn Can you confirm the location of that hyprland config file?

first the normal one
.config/hypr/input.conf

then I tried
.local/share/omarchy/config/hypr/input.conf

then as a last ditch attempt I tried adding an input section to
.local/share/omarchy/config/hypr/hyprland.conf

Restarting after each change, nothing worked

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

rustic hill yes there is and it will open this

I'm right clicking it and nothing is happening.

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

oh, sorry, that one

#

it says Keyboard - English UK

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:36 PM

#

at the bottom there is a select system keyboard layout

#

click that and also set it to uk

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:36 PM

#

Does this help with natural scrolling, I'm assuming not?

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:38 PM

#

rustic hill at the bottom there is a select system keyboard layout

It already says UK

#

and the only option is UK

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:38 PM

#

rustic hill click that and also set it to uk

This is how it already was

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

why do you have group2

#

#

instead of default

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

No idea, thats how it was

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

are you able to remove the groups?

#

are there more groups in the drop down?

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

There was Group 1 with us set, ive deleted that

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

ok

#

can try restore defaults down at the bottom

#

and then set to uk

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

rustic hill can try restore defaults down at the bottom

Yeah did that, it makes it UK

#

restarted but my layout is still US

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

makes no sense if i remove us from mine and change to uk it just works

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

Yeah, none of this makes sense. Omarchy is completely ignoring my config file because natural scrolling on the track pad shouldn't be enabled

#

Extremely irritating

#

Only happened after the recent update

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

run
rg kb_layout -.
will list out every file that has that config in it

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

#

Guess im changing all of those even though my .config one should override it...

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

the config should overwrite

#

yeah

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:46 PM

#

Yeah

#

That file still has natural scrolling disabled so that doesn't explain that

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

i can also add both, us and uk and switch them with ctrl + space

#

shift+2 = "
ctrl+space
shift+2 = @

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

That did help, changing it in the Omarchy default folder

#

it is now gb

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

good

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

Thanks for that

#

no idea what to do about natural/inverse scrolling though

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

check you hyprland.conf and make sure it is sourcing your /config files

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

it is

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

rustic hill check you hyprland.conf and make sure it is sourcing your /config files

#

should i swap their order maybe?

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:50 PM

#

wait

#

hmm looks fine

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

I haven't ever touched this file, just maybe the update did..

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

lower down configs take precident so you could try moving the order

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

That seems to be the right order tho..

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

yeah the last update makes some changes

#

removes some configs that no longer exist

#

i was checking against mine to see if they matched with the new config and it does

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:52 PM

#

Because .config/hypr/input.conf is below the default/hypr/input.conf

#

so surely that should override it

#

which is why ive been so confused

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:52 PM

#

yeah it should

#

no errors anywhere about hyprland?

#

they would normally popup as notifications

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:52 PM

#

i said before i also tried putting the whole input section at the bottom of hyprland.conf and that didnt help

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:52 PM

#

rustic hill they would normally popup as notifications

no

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

right makes me think something is failing higher up and hyperland is not even making it to your configs

#

but i would expect you to get a notice of that

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

Yeah

#

cannot explain this tho

#

because it being false is also the default of hyprland

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

nope you are right i can't explain that lol

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

thanks for your help though, at least i can type without me wanting to put my laptop through a window

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

yeah you could try digging through your journalctl and see if there are any errors there
journalctl | rg hyprland

#

if you don't have a bunch of customization you could also try to refresh the configs.
omarchy-refresh-hyprland
but take a snapshot of your current setup that works in case it doesnt work
omarchy-snapshot

I'll try this

That has somehow fixed natural scrolling

Do you have any idea how to remove the SUPER + F doing full screen? I tried unbind SUPER + F then doing my file manager but that didn't work

Maybe it will work after running this

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 4:10 PM

pine copper Do you have any idea how to remove the SUPER + F doing full screen? I tried unbi...

in your hyprland configs(assuming they work now)
you can unbind SUPER, F
then bindd SUPER, F to what you want it

#

default is SUPER+SHIFT+F to open file manager though

#

best way to find how the current configs are setup is grep for it
rg "SUPER, F" ~ -.

#

just remember modifiers are all in the first param
rg "SUPER SHIFT, F" ~ -.

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

Ah, yes the unbind works now

#

not a clue what was happening before because I did exactly that

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

yeah somethign was broken

#

im not sure what

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

But thanks for all your help it seems to have been resolved after resetting them

rustic hill Oct 23, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

you are welcome glad we found a solution

pine copper Oct 23, 2025, 4:14 PM

definitely, was driving me nuts

rustic hill you are welcome glad we found a solution

After a restart, my keyboard layout is the same, but natural scrolling has been enabled, for some reason
