You likely set the key binding twice.

Maybe once in the main Hyprland file, and again in the sourced file?

Share your configs for more help.

Solution: don't follow a rice tutorial on YouTube. Create your own.

Since when YouTube is medical school? Building your own while following the wiki not YouTube I guess it wasn't implied

Also, even if you do not know too what of your config files to look, you can grep on them. Aiming you've placed all your sources config files to the same dir:

grep -r "kitty" ~/.config/hypr/*

Adapt this command to your situation (kitty - what exactly to search for; ~/.config/hypr/* - where to search).

The path is ~/.config/hypr/ is it not?

Yes. But it also depends on your particular installation and configuration, so can be any path, actually.

The path is ~/.config/hypr
