I’ve been a Linux enthusiast for over a decade, and during that time, I’ve used various window managers like i3, awesomewm, and dwm. When I got a 4K monitor, I realized that Xorg couldn’t provide the fractional scaling I needed, so I began exploring Wayland.
The first Wayland window manager I tried was Hyprland. My customizations for window managers are usually minimal, mainly focused on configuring keybindings. However, I was surprised to find that there wasn’t a major mode for editing Hyprland config files. Since I knew there was one for Neovim, I took the opportunity to develop a major mode for Emacs that leverages treesitter.
This mode provides the following features.
- Syntax highlighting
- Indentation
- Navigation
- and Imenu support
If you are using emacs and hyprland try it out. Installing it with streight.el is easy.
(use-package hyprlang-ts-mode
:straight (:type git :host github :repo "Nathan-Melaku/hyprlang-ts-mode")
:custom
(hyprlang-ts-mode-indent-offset 4)If you haven’t installed the hyprlang grammer from Here,
when you start the mode for the first time it will add the grammer url to treesit-language-source-alist.
So you can install it with M-x then treesit-install-language-grammar.
The hyprlang-ts-mode-indent-offset is a custom variable that you can use to
set the indentation offset according to your preference.
