Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
sway was created to fill the need of an i3-like window manager for Wayland. The
|
||||
upstream i3 developers have no intention of porting i3 to Wayland, and projects
|
||||
proposed by others ended up as vaporware. Many thanks to the i3 folks for
|
||||
providing such a great piece of software, so good that your users would rather
|
||||
write an entirely new window manager from scratch that behaved _exactly_ like i3
|
||||
rather than switch to something else.
|
||||
|
||||
You may run sway from an ongoing x11 session to run it within x. Otherwise, you
|
||||
can run sway on a tty and it will use your outputs directly.
|
||||
|
||||
*Important note for nvidia users*: The proprietary nvidia driver does _not_ have
|
||||
support for Wayland as of 2015-08-17. Use nouveau.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
If sway is currently running, you may run _sway [command]_ to send _command_ to
|
||||
the running instance of sway. The same commands you would use in the config file
|
||||
are valid here (see **sway**(5)). For compatability reasons, you may also issue
|
||||
commands with **sway-msg**(1) or **i3-msg**(1) (or even with **i3**(1), probably).
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
If _-c_ is not specified, sway will look in several locations for your config
|
||||
file. The default one is provided at /etc/sway/config. The suggested location for
|
||||
your config file is ~/.config/sway/config. ~/.sway/config will also work, and the
|
||||
rest of the usual XDG config locations are supported. If no sway config is found,
|
||||
sway will attempt to load an i3 config from all the config locations i3 supports.
|
||||
If still nothing is found, you will receive an error.
|
||||
|
||||
For information on the config file format, see **sway**(5).
