In the `focus parent` command, do not set focus above the workspace level. These containers are not meant to be focused. This prevents a crash on repeated `focus parent` commands. |

Installation
From Packages
Sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages available for you to install:
For other distros, see this wiki page. 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
Install dependencies:
- cmake
- wlc
- wayland
- xwayland
- asciidoc
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 *
- pam **
- imagemagick (required for image capture with swaygrab)
- ffmpeg (required for video capture with swaygrab)
*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock
**Only required for swaylock
Run these commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
make
sudo make install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
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.
My own dotfiles are available here if you want some inspiration, and definitely check out the wiki as well.
Running
Instead of running startx, run sway. You can run sway from within X as
well, which is useful for testing.
