JetBrains IDEs really keep providing the most pathological cases for Xwayland... The "Search everywhere" dialog can be resized, but it responds to a configure request with a configure notify including double the growth in width. So, if the user drags the left edge by 5px, we send Xwayland a configure request based off the current geometry, -5px on the x axis, and +5px width. JetBrains IDEs then respond with -5px on the x axis, and +10px width. Presumably they do this to keep the dialog symmetric. Still, it breaks Sway because we match commits to transactions by geometry, so any resizes of the "Search everywhere" dialog will cause Sway's transactions to time out. Instead, we can just assume that the first commit following a transaction is in response to that transaction. This is obviously race-y, but I don't think we can do anything particularly smarter in the face of crazy applications. |

Installation
From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.
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).
