I also just installed fresh hyprland on my 2nd laptop. Then installed fresh HyDE, all the shortcuts I used to know are gone. The keybindings available are all from the pure hyprland not HyDE.

I am really to see this issue brought up. I have the exact same issue. @tuosdai - the commands themselves work, so maybe you need to add them manually, that's what I am trying to do

[Qwois]

I have exactly the same problem on my computer and my laptop, everything is working as it should, but shortcuts are not working.
And there was an error on my laptop during installation, which did not exist before when installing HyDE:
home/kamil/.config/hyprland /hyprland.conf at line 227: gesture will be overshadowed by a previous gesture. Previous horizontal shadows new horizontal

@Qwois I have also seen the error:
~/.config/hyprland /hyprland.conf at line 227: gesture will be overshadowed by a previous gesture. Previous horizontal shadows new horizontal

So i will need to configure my hyprland shortcuts and thats it ?
