Hey, thanks for the awesome dotfiles — most of the setup works perfectly and looks great.

I noticed several keybinds in modus.conf aren’t working for me:

wall,
clip,
kanban,
toggle-caffeine

Pressing the assigned keys does nothing, while all the other bindings work fine.

If the issue is that I’m missing some required dependencies or extra scripts, please let me know.
It might also help to add these missing steps or required packages to the README, since this part isn’t currently highlighted and could be easy to miss.

Thanks!

Hey! Sorry for late response and Really glad to hear the dotfiles are working well for you thanks for trying them out!!!

About those keybinds:

wall: requires a manual edit in
~/.config/Modus/config/assets/config.json
(you just need to point it to your wallpaper directory).
clip: needs cliphist and wl-clipboard installed.
Without these, the clipboard manager won’t launch. You have
kanban: this was from an older setup. There’s no kanban plugin in the current version
toggle-caffeine: it should work now

If any of them still don’t respond after that, feel free to send me logs, it'll help me check if something is failing silently.
Also I have updated this branch, you can pull the latest changes
