My additions / modifications

As usual, one should comment out the autogenerated status

# autogenerated = 1 # remove this line to remove the warning

monitor=eDP-1,disable (because my laptop screen is broken)
Optional (as I wanted to scale the resolution of my monitor to make it smaller. The result was blurry)

# uncomment below lines to scale the monitor (bad in X11)
# 0.937 gives back 1366 points horizontally
# $scale=1
# monitor=HDMI-A-1,1280x1024,0x0,$scale

Programs to execute

I used the following programs:

AGS (Aylur's GTK Shell; for Aylur's AGS Widgets)
SWWW Daemon (Simple Wayland Wallpaper Widget Daemon; to change wallpaper)
PipeWire Audio Service
KDE Connect Daemon
KDE Connect Tray Indicator
Polkit KDE Agent
XHosts command (To add a rule to allow programs launched as root to access the X server)

More on XHosts

Hyprland already adds the XHosts rule for the local user, and I had to add one for root.

XHosts is similar to XAuth, which does the same, but with setting up a magic number for authentication.

Both then use $XAUTHORITY, $HOME/.XAuthority, or other variables to get the access control list.

# Execute your favorite apps at launch
# exec-once = waybar & hyprpaper & firefox
exec-once = ags & swww-daemon & pipewire & /usr/libexec/kdeconnectd & kdeconnect-indicator & /usr/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 & xhost +SI:localuser:root

Keybindings

First I disabled the Wofi launcher keybinding to use Aylur's AGS app launcher widget instead.

# bind = $mainMod, R, exec, wofi --show drun`

Aylur's AGS widget keybindings (I believe I had to make some modification to set the screenshot/recording utility used)

# reload
bind=CTRL SHIFT, R,  exec, ags quit; ags -b hypr

# opening windows
bind=SUPER, R,       exec, ags -t applauncher
bind=,XF86PowerOff,  exec, ags -t powermenu
bind=SUPER, Tab,     exec, ags -t overview

# screenshot & screenrecord
bind=SUPER SHIFT, R, exec, ags -r 'recorder.start()' # start/stop toggle
bind=SUPER ALT, P,   exec, ags -r 'recorder.screenshot()'
bind=SUPER SHIFT, P, exec, ags -r 'recorder.screenshot(true)'

# brightness adjusting
bindle=,XF86MonBrightnessUp,   exec, ags -r 'brightness.screen += 0.05; indicator.display()'
bindle=,XF86MonBrightnessDown, exec, ags -r 'brightness.screen -= 0.05; indicator.display()'
bindle=,XF86KbdBrightnessUp,   exec, ags -r 'brightness.kbd++; indicator.kbd()'
bindle=,XF86KbdBrightnessDown, exec, ags -r 'brightness.kbd--; indicator.kbd()'

# volume adjusting
bindle=,XF86AudioRaiseVolume,  exec, ags -r 'audio.speaker.volume += 0.05; indicator.speaker()'
bindle=,XF86AudioLowerVolume,  exec, ags -r 'audio.speaker.volume -= 0.05; indicator.speaker()'

bind= SUPER, F, fullscreen

Adding my own bindings

bind= SUPER, F, fullscreen
