I'm configuring Hyprland and noticed that Nano uses shortcuts described with the "Meta" key, such as Meta+U. Does Hyprland handle that key combination before Nano does, or can Nano still receive it? Should I rebind my Hyprland Meta shortcuts to Alt to avoid conflicts?

Hyprland, as the compositor, would normally handle its own keybindings before the application sees the keystroke. However, Nano and Emacs use “Meta” to mean the Alt key—not the Super/Windows key—so there probably isn’t a conflict with Hyprland’s Super bindings in the first place.
That clears it up—I was mixing up Meta with Super. I’ll keep the bindings as they are.
