Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

Quickshell keyboard shortcuts open panels on the laptop display instead of an external monitorrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:56 UTC via poll

System details

Omarchy 4.0.0.r1555.gbb8d2f2-1; kernel 7.1.5-arch1-2; internal eDP-1 (Samsung ATNA40HQ02-0); external DP-1 (Dell U3225QE)

What's wrong?

With both the laptop display (eDP-1) and an external monitor (DP-1) connected, Omarchy keyboard shortcuts that open Quickshell panels consistently place the panel on eDP-1.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect an external monitor and keep the laptop display enabled.
2. Focus a workspace on the external monitor.
3. Use a Quickshell panel shortcut, for example Super+Ctrl+A (Audio), Super+Ctrl+B (Bluetooth), Super+Ctrl+D (Display), Super+Ctrl+W (Network), or Super+Ctrl+P (Power).

Actual behavior: the panel opens on the laptop display (eDP-1).

Expected behavior: when an external monitor is connected, a panel opened through its keyboard shortcut should open on that external monitor (ideally the focused monitor), with the laptop display used only as the fallback when no external monitor is present.

This makes keyboard-driven panels inconvenient when working primarily on the external display.
