Environment Variables

[Moerliy]

To make it quick: On the wiki for environment variables at QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb" the quotation mark should be deleted. They're already gone below QT Variables headline.

well the issue is that if you do export then the quotes need to be there, but if you use hyprland's env they can't be there.

I noticed that too but also got trick by it because I was copy pasting 🫠. I mean it already says it above but I think it should be uniform.
Btw. now that they added the env keyword is using the wrappedhl and the old way of exporting env variables even advisable?

is using the wrappedhl and the old way of exporting env variables even advisable?

it's not advisable, it's legacy

My bad, I was just generally speaking.
Maybe you should change all the examples that are shown, to the syntax you would use in the config then.

Along similar lines, this page doesn't explain how exactly to add env vars that include commas in them? How would I do that if I'm not using quotes..?

I guess just simply remove quotes should works e.g. QT_QPA_PLATFORM,wayland;xcb and GDK_BACKEND,wayland,x11 because my environment variables showed correctly through the command printenv that way.

BTW, the environment variable section also confused me a little bit and needs more detail.
