Press SUPER + GRAVE (backtick) to fade out floating windows and interact with content below. This uses the omarchy-hyprland-toggle plumbing. Demo:

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Adds a new Hyprland toggle to temporarily “peek” behind floating windows by applying special window rules, and wires it up to a keybinding and CLI entrypoint.

Changes:

  • Introduces a new toggle (peek-floating-windows) that applies low opacity and disables blur/focus/mouse-follow for floating windows.
  • Adds a SUPER + GRAVE binding to toggle the new behavior.
  • Adds a small bin/ wrapper script to invoke the toggle.
