## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-18 16:16:13 -04:00
|
|
|
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
|
2015-12-01 00:38:23 +01:00
|
|
|
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
|
2015-12-23 12:22:48 +01:00
|
|
|
`~/.config/sway/config`. It is usually located at `/etc/sway/config`.
|
|
|
|
|
Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
|

|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-13 14:01:55 -04:00
|
|
|
Run `sway` from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
|
2018-04-12 20:22:27 -04:00
|
|
|
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
