+## Input Regions & Keybind Compatibility
+
+The desktop widget window uses a **partial input region** — only the rectangular areas occupied by widgets receive pointer and keyboard input. Empty desktop space passes through to windows below.
+
+This means:
+- Hyprland keybinds (e.g., `Super+Q` minimize) work normally even with widgets visible
+- Right-clicking on widget areas opens the edit context menu; right-clicking on empty desktop passes through
+- Drag and drop works within widget areas
+
+No configuration needed — this is automatic. If widgets ever interfere with keybinds, check that the widget's `size` in `register()` matches its actual rendered size.

+### 11. Desktop widget interfering with window keybinds (e.g., Super+Q)?
+
+The desktop window is a full-screen layer shell surface, which can intercept pointer events and make Hyprland treat it as the focused window. Modus handles this by using a **partial input region** — only widget areas receive input; empty desktop space passes through.
+
+If keybinds still don't work:
+- Check the widget's `size` in `register()` matches its actual rendered size
+- Ensure no widget is expanding beyond its expected bounds (e.g., `h_expand=True` without fixed width)
+- Restart Modus: `uv run start`
