Keyboard shortcuts
Super means the Windows/Meta key. The configured bindings can vary with the
release and user configuration; this quick reference follows the current
Hornero Hyprland defaults. Open the built-in help with Super + /, or ask
the CLI to show it with horneroctl hardware keyboard keys.

Hardware keys
Media keys control playback, volume keys change output volume, and microphone mute toggles the default source. Brightness keys change the display by 10%; hold Shift for 1% steps. These keys depend on hardware and the active backend.
Recovery and caution
Press Escape to leave the resize mode or a shell overlay. Super + Shift + R
reloads the compositor configuration. Super + Shift + E exits Hyprland;
do not use it as a routine close-window shortcut.
