When using Nano under Hyprland, which one handles a Meta+U key combination first—the terminal editor or the compositor? Should I change my Meta-based shortcuts to use Alt instead?

Hyprland generally gets first chance to handle compositor shortcuts, but there may not be a conflict here. In Nano and Emacs terminology, “Meta” usually means the Alt key, while desktop environments commonly use “Super” for the Windows or Command key. So you probably don’t need to rebind anything unless you’ve actually configured the same Alt combination in Hyprland.
That clears it up—I was mixing up Meta and Super. Thanks!
