Passing of gesture events added in #4794 allows to use them in clients but not in sway itself, for example to switch workspaces using three-finger swipes. Add support for binding four basic directional swipes to arbitrary sway commands. Add the necessary handling to default seatops to execute them at the beginning or end of a swipe gesture. This for now responds to all swipes, ignoring the number of fingers used. The former throws up the intrinsic conundrum that we can not know the kind of swipe that's going to happen because it can change all through its lifecylce. Therefore we can only execute bindings on release. Test plan: - add workspace switching to config like so: bindsym --whole-window SWIPE_LEFT workspace prev_on_output bindsym --whole-window SWIPE_RIGHT workspace next_on_output - start sway and open two workspaces - switch back and forth using horizontal three-finger swipes, observing that vertical swipes won't Signed-off-by: Michael Weiser <michael.weiser@gmx.de> |

Installation
From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.
If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.
Compiling from Source
Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
- scdoc (optional: man pages) *
- git (optional: version info) *
*Compile-time dep
Run these commands:
meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
