What

Documents the Umbriel backend added in kando-menu/kando#1584, as suggested in kando-menu/kando#1584 (comment).

On installation-on-linux.mdx:

  • Adds an Umbriel row to the supported environments table.
  • Adds an Umbriel section under Desktop Specifics with:
    • Window Rules: a [[window_rule]] that makes the menu float fullscreen and borderless.
    • Shortcuts: Umbriel does not yet support the global-shortcuts portal, so menus are bound in keybinds.toml with kando --menu "Menu Name". There are tabs for native and Flatpak installs.
    • Flatpak: the [[security_context_rule]] that Umbriel needs before it exposes the privileged Wayland protocols to the sandboxed Kando.

All snippets are taken from the config I used to test kando-menu/kando#1584 on Umbriel 0.1.0 with the Flatpak build.

Depends on

kando-menu/kando#1584. This should only be merged once that backend is released.

Testing

  • Ran astro dev and checked the rendered page.
  • The "See below" link in the table jumps to the Umbriel section.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add Umbriel to the supported environments table and describe the window
rule, the keybinds and the security-context rule needed by the Flatpak.

You still need the import of Badge from '@astrojs/starlight/components' at the top of the file.
