If you’ve updated your system recently and noticed things feel different — you’re not imagining it. In this video, I walk through everything new in Omarchy 3.1, what’s changed, and how to get your workflow back up to speed.

🔹 What’s New in Omarchy OS 3.1
• Keybinding Overhaul:
Many shortcuts now use Super + Shift for consistency.
• Super + F now toggles fullscreen (instead of F11).
• Super + Shift + D opens DaVinci Resolve (or your app shortcut).
• Super + Shift + T launches btop for system monitoring.
• Copy/Paste simplified to Super + C and Super + V.
• Improved Usability:
The new key layout aligns better with standard Hyprland logic and reduces conflicts.
• The clipboard manager has been updated.
• Terminal, browser, and file bindings are now easier to remember.
• Old Configs Saved:
You’ll find a bindings.bak file inside your ~/.config/hypr/ folder.
Perfect if you want to roll back to your old key setup.
• Obsidian Integration:
Omarchy now includes live theming for Obsidian Notes.
• Themes automatically match your Omarchy color scheme.
• Quick switch between Tokyo Night, Latte, or your own custom palette.
• New App: Athura
A simple but powerful theme generator that extracts color palettes from any image.
• Choose a wallpaper → Extract colors → Apply instantly to your system.
• Customize your own light/dark themes without editing config files.
• Other Tweaks:
• Calculator scaling fixed (finally normal size).
• Small under-the-hood fixes for networking, Wi-Fi, and app behavior.
• Improved integration for virtual machines and the Walker menu system.

💡 Why It Matters

Omarchy 3.1 is all about making a fast, minimal Linux experience more intuitive. The new keybinds feel logical and align better with modern workflows — especially if you’re using multiple apps or creative tools like DaVinci Resolve, OBS, or Blender.

For developers and creators, this means less friction and more flow. Everything is faster to reach, easier to remember, and smoother to customize.

🔹 Pro Tip: Backup Before Updating

In my previous video, I released Red Pill, a simple backup utility for your Omarchy config files.
• It saves your keybindings, Waybar layout, and Hyprland tweaks.
• Perfect if a future update changes something you’ve customized.
If your layout broke after 3.1, Red Pill can restore it instantly.

⸻

🔹 New Tools to Explore
• Walker Menu: revamped search launcher, faster and cleaner.
• Athura Palette Generator: match system colors to wallpapers.
• Obsidian Theming: sync your notes with your desktop theme.
• Better Baseline Stability: network, performance, and minor bug fixes.

🧠 Final Thoughts

Omarchy OS 3.1 may not be revolutionary, but it’s one of the most refined releases yet. The new keybinding logic makes more sense, the system feels faster, and the theming updates are genuinely fun to use.

If you’ve already updated and something feels off, don’t panic — check your keybindings config and explore the new layout. Once you adjust, it feels like a smart step forward for everyday use.
