[FEATURE] Add more detail to the configuration variations in the wiki.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. While I can figure it out from going through every file, I still oftentimes struggle to find certain options in the .conf files in ~.config/hypr/conf/. I just want that process to be a bit smoother if possible. Not to mention the terms used in ml4w for the subfiles are not ones used on the wiki (ie

Describe the solution you'd like. Basic details on what options are configured in the preset files. Maybe a link to the hyprland wiki explaining what the options do. I'm not saying you need to explain everything, because I know how annoying writing documentation is, but it would make the new-ish user experience a lot smoother. At the very least add info for the most configured parts, like windowrules or something.

Describe alternatives you've considered. Going through the files myself? It works, I guess. Not the best solution. If you feel that that's the whole spirit of hyprland, why offer config presets?

Additional context. This is particularly important to me because this is the first (therefore main) recommendation for pre-configured hyprland themes on the hyprland install guide. I think listing a basic idea of what things are in each subdirectory of ~/.config/hypr/conf/ makes troubleshooting easier while still letting new users figure out what certain things do when they wish to change them. Also, thank you for your work on this.

Hi,

I hope I don't break any rules here.

The features I need most:

  1. Keyboard navigation between the windows inside a group.
  2. Xkb layout indicator. Not that I need it as sorely as (1) :)

Is threre a way to keep default KDE settings? Some KDE apps just don't like custom settings, like Dolphin.

I use chezmoi on my system. Is it advisable just to move all ~/dotfiles configurations to my chezmoi ~/dotfiles? I suppose yes, because there seems to be no provision for updates to ~/dotfiles.
