Add Suspend and Hibernate Keybindings to Omarchy

The original version of this post covered Omarchy 3.3’s optional sleep menu. Quattro’s system sleep documentation now describes suspend and hibernation as enabled by default. Hibernation still requires the appropriate swap and boot setup; omarchy hibernation setup configures it on supported Limine installations.

Start by testing the sleep options in the SUPER + Escape system menu. If hibernation is not configured, follow that documentation first. A keyboard shortcut cannot make an unsupported sleep mode work.

Since Omarchy uses SUPER + CTRL for utility shortcuts and SUPER + Escape for the system menu, Escape still feels like a good fit.

Add the following to ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua:

hl.unbind("SUPER + CTRL + Escape")
hl.unbind("SUPER + CTRL + ALT + Escape")
o.bind("SUPER + CTRL + Escape", "Suspend system", "systemctl suspend", { locked = true })
o.bind("SUPER + CTRL + ALT + Escape", "Hibernate system", "systemctl hibernate", { locked = true })~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua

The { locked = true } option replaces the old l in binddl. It allows the binding to run while the session is locked. Omarchy uses the same option for its power and lid bindings.

Reload and check for configuration errors:

hyprctl reload
hyprctl configerrors

Save your work, then test suspend and resume first. Test hibernation separately after setup, and finally test both shortcuts from the lock screen. They call systemd directly, so hiding a sleep option in Omarchy’s menu does not disable these bindings. Remove a binding if that mode is unreliable on your machine.
