Unable to change some Keybindings

I have searched through all of the configs.

I am unable to find the config that changes the layout using mod + space

More a question than an issue.

Thanks!

the layout using ~/.config/awesome/configuration/keys.lua

@linuxmobile this is not the function that brings up the layout switcher using mod + space

I am not looking for the toggle floating. I am looking for the layout switcher that brings up the 2x4 menu up that allows you to basically tab through the layouts.

I am not sure that you are understanding.

With the default configuration if I:

• Press mod + space then the default_layouts will open on my screen

However, I don't want this. Nowhere that I can see in the [configuration/layout.lua](https://github.com/rxyhn/yoru/blob/main/config/awesome/configuration/layout.lua) or in the [configuration/keys.lua](https://github.com/rxyhn/yoru/blob/main/config/awesome/configuration/keys.lua) is there a key configuration for mod + space`.

When I search the entire configuration for ""space"" i only find one file that contains the key for space

❯ grep -r -i "\"space\""
configuration/keys.lua:         awful.key({ mod, ctrl }, "space", awful.client.floating.toggle),

What I am trying to work out is where is the configuration that triggers the default_layouts selection widget to open so that I can change this?

Any update on where the mod+space keybinding is being sent from for the layout switcher?

Finally found it. It was located in ui/popups/layoutlist.lua as { mod }, " " I was able to change it to { ctrl }, "l" and that resolved my issue.

Yeah I think there is some weirdness with this keybinding. It made my spacebar always popup the switcher, even adding something like { ctrl }, "l" caused it to bind to the l key making it popup all the time.. anyway I disabled it completely since I dont really care for a layout switcher other then the one on the top bar and via keybinds
