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.
|
||||
|
||||
Launch sway directly from a tty or via your favorite Wayland-compatible login
|
||||
manager.
|
||||
|
||||
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 compatibility reasons, you may also issue
|
||||
commands with **swaymsg**(1) or **i3-msg**(1) (or even with **i3**(1), probably).
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The path to a config file can be given via the _-c_ parameter, else
|
||||
sway searches for it in the following locations:
|
||||
- ~/.sway/config
|
||||
- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sway/config (suggested location)
|
||||
- ~/.i3/config
|
||||
- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3/config (XDG_HOME )
|
||||
- /etc/sway/config
|
||||
- /etc/i3/config
|
||||
|
||||
In /etc/sway/config the standard config file is installed.
|
||||
An error is raised when no config file is found.
|
||||
|
||||
To write your own configuration, it's suggested that you copy the default config file to
|
||||
the location of your choosing and start there.
|
||||
|
||||
For information on the config file format, see **sway**(5).
|
||||
|
||||
Environment
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The following environment variables have an effect on sway:
|
||||
|
||||
*SWAY_CURSOR_THEME*::
|
||||
Specifies the name of the cursor theme to use.
|
||||
|
||||
*SWAY_CURSOR_SIZE*::
|
||||
Specifies the size of the cursor to use.
|
||||
|
||||
*SWAYSOCK*::
|
||||
Specifies the path to the sway IPC socket.
|
||||
|
||||
*XKB_DEFAULT_RULES*, *XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL*, *XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT*, *XKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT*, *XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS*::
|
||||
Configures the xkb keyboard settings. See xkeyboard-config(7).

# NAME
|
||||
|
||||
sway - configuration file and commands
|
||||
|
||||
# DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
A sway configuration file is a list of sway commands that are executed by sway
|
||||
on startup. These commands usually consist of setting your preferences and
|
||||
setting key bindings. An example config is likely present in /etc/sway/config
|
||||
for you to check out.
|
||||
|
||||
Lines in the configuration file might be extended through multiple lines by
|
||||
adding a '\\' character at the end of line. e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
bindsym Shift+XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec \\
|
||||
pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -1%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These commands can be executed in your config file, via *swaymsg*(1), or via
|
||||
the bindsym command.
|
||||
|
||||
# COMMAND CONVENTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
Commands are split into several arguments using spaces. You can enclose
|
||||
arguments with quotation marks (*"..."* or *'...'*) to add spaces to a single
|
||||
argument. You may also run several commands in order by separating each with
|
||||
*,* or *;*.
|
||||
|
||||
Throughout the documentation, *|* is used to distinguish between arguments for
|
||||
which you may only select one. *[...]* is used for optional arguments, and
|
||||
*<...>* for arguments where you are expected to supply some value.
|
||||
|
||||
# COMMANDS
|
||||
|
||||
The following commands may only be used in the configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
*bar {* <commands...> *}*
|
||||
_commands..._ after *{* will be interpreted as bar commands. For
|
||||
details, see *sway-bar*(5). A newline is required between *{* and the
|
||||
first command, and *}* must be alone on a line.
|
||||
|
||||
*default\_orientation* horizontal|vertical|auto
|
||||
Sets the default container layout for tiled containers.
|
||||
|
||||
*include* <path>
|
||||
Includes another file from _path_. _path_ can be either a full path or a
|
||||
path relative to the parent config, and expands shell syntax (see
|
||||
*wordexp*(3) for details). The same include file can only be included once;
|
||||
subsequent attempts will be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
*set* <name> <value>
|
||||
Sets variable $_name_ to _value_. You can use the new variable in the
|
||||
arguments of future commands.
|
||||
|
||||
*swaybg\_command* <command>
|
||||
Executes custom bg _command_. Default is _swaybg_. Refer to **output**
|
||||
below for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
The following commands cannot be used directly in the configuration file.
|
||||
They are expected to be used with *bindsym* or at runtime through *swaymsg*(1).
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
*bindsym* <key combo> <command>
|
||||

|
||||
*bindcode* <code> <command> is also available for binding with key codes
|
||||
instead of key names.
|
||||
|
||||
*client.<class>* <border> <background> <text> <indicator> <child\_border>
|
||||

|
||||
line.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
*mark* --add|--replace [--toggle] <identifier>

||||
then jump to them at a later time. By default, *mark* sets _identifier_ as
|
||||
the only mark on a window. _--add_ will instead add _identifier_ to the

*mouse\_warping* output|none
|
||||
If _output_ is specified, the mouse will be moved to new outputs as you
|
||||
move focus between them.
|
||||
|
||||
*no\_focus* <criteria>
|
||||
Prevents windows matching <criteria> from being focused automatically when
|
||||
they're created. This has no effect on the first window in a workspace.
|
||||
|
||||
*output* <name> mode|resolution|res <WIDTHxHEIGHT>[@<RATE>[Hz]]
|
||||
Configures the specified output to use the given mode. Modes are a
|
||||
combination of width and height (in pixels) and a refresh rate that your
|
||||
display can be configured to use. For a list of available modes for each
|
||||
output, use *swaymsg -t get\_outputs*.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
output HDMI-A-1 mode 1920x1080
|
||||
|
||||
output HDMI-A-1 mode 1920x1080@60Hz
|
||||
|
||||
*output* <name> position|pos <X,Y>
|
||||
Places the specified output at the specific position in the global
|
||||
coordinate space.
|
||||
|
||||
*output* <name> scale <factor>
|
||||
Scales the specified output by the specified scale _factor_. An integer is
|
||||
recommended, but fractional values are also supported. If a fractional
|
||||
value are specified, be warned that it is not possible to faithfully
|
||||
represent the contents of your windows - they will be rendered at the next
|
||||
highest integral scale factor and downscaled. You may be better served by
|
||||
setting an integral scale factor and adjusting the font size of your
|
||||
applications to taste.
|
||||
|
||||
*output* <name> background|bg <file> <mode>
|
||||
Sets the wallpaper for the given output to the specified file, using the
|
||||
given scaling mode (one of "stretch", "fill", "fit", "center", "tile").
|
||||
|
||||
**output** <name> background|bg <color> solid\_color
|
||||
Sets the background of the given output to the specified color. _color_
|
||||
should be specified as _#RRGGBB_. Alpha is not supported.
|
||||
|
||||
**output** <name> transform <transform>
|
||||
Sets the background transform to the given value. Can be one of "90", "180",
|
||||
"270" for rotation; or "flipped", "flipped-90", "flipped-180", "flipped-270"
|
||||
to apply a rotation and flip, or "normal" to apply no transform.
|
||||
|
||||
*output* <name> disable|enable
|
||||
Enables or disables the specified output (all outputs are enabled by
|
||||
default).
|
||||
|
||||
*NOTES FOR THE OUTPUT COMMANDS*
|
||||
|
||||
You may combine output commands into one, like so:
|
||||
|
||||
output HDMI-A-1 mode 1920x1080 pos 1920,0 bg ~/wallpaper.png stretch
|
||||
|
||||
You can get a list of output names with *swaymsg -t get\_outputs*. You may also
|
||||
match any output by using the output name "\*". Be sure to add this output
|
||||
config after the others, or it will be matched instead of the others.
|
||||
|
||||
*show\_marks* on|off
|
||||
If *show\_marks* is on, marks will be displayed in the window borders.
|
||||
Any mark that starts with an underscore will not be drawn even if the
|
||||
option is on. The default is _on_.
|
||||
|
||||
*opacity* <value>
|
||||
Set the opacity of the window between 0 (completely transparent) and 1
|
||||
(completely opaque).
|
||||
|
||||
*unmark* [<identifier>]
|
||||
*unmark* will remove _identifier_ from the list of current marks on a
|
||||
window. If _identifier_ is omitted, all marks are removed.
|
||||
|
||||
*workspace* [number] <name>
|
||||
Switches to the specified workspace. The string "number" is optional and is
|
||||
used to sort workspaces.
|
||||
|
||||
*workspace* prev|next
|
||||
Switches to the next workspace on the current output or on the next output
|
||||
if currently on the last workspace.
|
||||
|
||||
*workspace* prev\_on\_output|next\_on\_output
|
||||
Switches to the next workspace on the current output.
|
||||
|
||||
*workspace* <name> output <output>
|
||||
Specifies that workspace _name_ should be shown on the specified _output_.
|
||||
|
||||
*workspace\_auto\_back\_and\_forth* yes|no
|
||||
When _yes_, repeating a workspace switch command will switch back to the
|
||||
prior workspace. For example, if you are currently on workspace 1,
|
||||
switch to workspace 2, then invoke the "workspace 2" command again, you
|
||||
will be returned to workspace 1. Default is _no_.
|
||||
|
||||
*workspace\_layout* default|stacking|tabbed
|
||||
Specifies the initial layout for new workspaces.
|
||||
|
||||
# CRITERIA
|
||||
|
||||
A criteria is a string in the form of, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[class="[Rr]egex.*" title="some title"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The string contains one or more (space separated) attribute/value pairs. They
|
||||
are used by some commands to choose which views to execute actions on. All
|
||||
attributes must match for the criteria to match.
|
||||
|
||||
Criteria may be used with either the *for\_window* or *assign* commands to
|
||||
specify operations to perform on new views. A criteria may also be used to
|
||||
perform specific commands (ones that normally act upon one window) on all views
|
||||
that match that criteria. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
Focus on a window with the mark "IRC":
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[con_mark="IRC"] focus
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Kill all windows with the title "Emacs":
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[class="Emacs"] kill
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Mark all Firefox windows with "Browser":
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[class="Firefox"] mark Browser
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following attributes may be matched with:
|
||||
|
||||
*app\_id*
|
||||
Compare value against the app id. Can be a regular expression. If value is
|
||||
\_\_focused\_\_, then the app id must be the same as that of the currently
|
||||
focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
*class*
|
||||
Compare value against the window class. Can be a regular expression. If
|
||||
value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the window class must be the same as that of
|
||||
the currently focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
*con\_id*
|
||||
Compare against the internal container ID, which you can find via IPC.
|
||||
|
||||
*con\_mark*
|
||||
Compare against the window marks. Can be a regular expression.
|
||||
|
||||
*floating*
|
||||
Matches floating windows.
|
||||
|
||||
*id*
|
||||
Compare value against the X11 window ID. Must be numeric.
|
||||
|
||||
*instance*
|
||||
Compare value against the window instance. Can be a regular expression. If
|
||||
value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the window instance must be the same as that
|
||||
of the currently focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
*tiling*
|
||||
Matches tiling windows.
|
||||
|
||||
*title*
|
||||
Compare against the window title. Can be a regular expression. If value is
|
||||
\_\_focused\_\_, then the window title must be the same as that of the
|
||||
currently focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
*urgent*
|
||||
Compares the urgent state of the window. Can be "latest" or "oldest".
|
||||
|
||||
*window\_role*
|
||||
Compare against the window role (WM\_WINDOW\_ROLE). Can be a regular
|
||||
expression. If value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the window role must be the
|
||||
same as that of the currently focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
*window\_type*
|
||||
Compare against the window type (\_NET\_WM\_WINDOW\_TYPE). Possible values
|
||||
are normal, dialog, utility, toolbar, splash, menu, dropdown\_menu,
|
||||
popup\_menu, tooltip and notification.
|
||||
|
||||
*workspace*
|
||||
Compare against the workspace name for this view. Can be a regular
|
||||
expression. If the value is \_\_focused\_\_, then all the views on the
|
||||
currently focused workspace matches.

sway - configuration file and commands
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
A sway configuration file is a list of sway commands that are executed by sway
|
||||
on startup. These commands usually consist of setting your preferences and
|
||||
setting key bindings. An example config is likely present in /etc/sway/config
|
||||
for you to check out.
|
||||
|
||||
Lines in the configuration file might be extended through multiple lines by
|
||||
adding a '\' character at the end of line. e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
bindsym Shift+XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume \
|
||||
$(pactl list sinks | grep -B 1 RUNNING | sed '1q;d' | sed 's/[^0-9]\+//g') +5%
|
||||
|
||||
These commands can be executed in your config file, via **swaymsg**(1), or via
|
||||
the bindsym command.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
The following commands may only be used in the configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
**bar** <block of commands>::
|
||||
Append _{_ to this command, the following lines will be commands that
|
||||
configure **swaybar**, and _}_ on its own line to close the block.
|
||||
+
|
||||
See **sway-bar**(5) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
**default_orientation** <horizontal|vertical|auto>::
|
||||
Sets the default container layout for tiled containers.
|
||||
|
||||
**set** <name> <value>::
|
||||
Sets variable $name to _value_. You can use the new variable in the arguments
|
||||
of future commands.
|
||||
|
||||
**swaybg_command** <command>::
|
||||
Executes custom bg command, default is _swaybg_.
|
||||
|
||||
The following commands cannot be used directly in the configuration file.
|
||||
They are expected to be used with **bindsym** or at runtime through **swaymsg**(1).
|
||||
|
||||
**border** <normal|pixel> [<n>]::
|
||||
Set border style for focused window. _normal_ includes a border of thickness
|
||||
_n_ and a title bar. _pixel_ is a border without title bar _n_ pixels thick.
|
||||
Default is _normal_ with border thickness 2.
|
||||
|
||||
**border** <none|toggle>::
|
||||
Set border style for focused window to _none_ or _toggle_ between the
|
||||
available border styles: _normal_, _pixel_, _none_.
|
||||
|
||||
**exit**::
|
||||
Exit sway and end your Wayland session.
|
||||
|
||||
**floating** <enable|disable|toggle>::
|
||||
Make focused view floating, non-floating, or the opposite of what it is now.
|
||||
|
||||
**focus** <direction>::
|
||||
Direction may be one of _up_, _down_, _left_, _right_, _next_, _prev_,
|
||||
_parent_, or _child_. The directional focus commands will move the focus
|
||||
in that direction. The _next_ and _prev_ directions will focus the next,
|
||||
respectively previous, element in the current container. The parent
|
||||
focus command will change the focus to the parent of the currently
|
||||
focused container, which is useful, for example, to open a sibling of
|
||||
the parent container, or to move the entire container around.
|
||||
|
||||
**focus** output <direction|name>::
|
||||
Direction may be one of _up_, _down_, _left_, _right_. The directional focus
|
||||
commands will move the focus to the output in that direction. When name is
|
||||
given, the focus is changed to the output with that name.
|
||||
|
||||
**focus** mode_toggle::
|
||||
Toggles focus between floating view and tiled view.
|
||||
|
||||
**fullscreen**::
|
||||
Toggles fullscreen status for the focused view.
|
||||
|
||||
**layout** <mode>::
|
||||
Sets the layout mode of the focused container. _mode_ can be one of _splith_,
|
||||
_splitv_, _toggle split_, _stacking_, _tabbed_.
|
||||
|
||||
**layout** auto <mode>::
|
||||
Sets layout to one of the auto modes, i.e. one of _left_, _right_, _top_,
|
||||
or _bottom_.
|
||||
|
||||
**layout** auto <next|prev>::
|
||||
Cycles between available auto layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
**layout** auto [master|ncol] [inc|set] <n>::
|
||||
Modify the number of master elements, respectively slave columns, in the
|
||||
focused container. <n> can be a positive or negative integer. These commands
|
||||
only have an effect if the focused container uses one of the "auto" layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
**layout** toggle split::
|
||||
Cycles between available split layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
**move** <left|right|up|down> <[px]>::
|
||||
Moves the focused container _left_, _right_, _up_, or _down_. If the window
|
||||
is floating it moves it _px_ in that direction, defaulting to 10. Tiled
|
||||
containers are moved the same regardless of the _px_ argument.
|
||||
|
||||
**move** <next|prev|first>::
|
||||
Moving to _prev_ or _next_ swaps the container with its sibling in the same
|
||||
container. Move _first_ exchanges the focused element in an auto layout with
|
||||
the first element, i.e. promotes the focused element to master position.
|
||||
|
||||
**move** <container|window> to workspace <name>::
|
||||
Moves the focused container to the workspace identified by _name_.
|
||||
_name_ may be a special workspace name. See **workspace**.
|
||||
|
||||
**move** <container|window|workspace> to output <name|direction>::
|
||||
Moves the focused container or workspace to the output identified by _name_ or
|
||||
_direction_. _direction_ may be one of _up_, _down_, _left_, _right_.
|
||||
|
||||
**move** [to] scratchpad::
|
||||
Moves the focused window to the scratchpad.
|
||||
|
||||
**reload**::
|
||||
Reloads the sway config file without restarting sway.
|
||||
|
||||
**resize** <shrink|grow> <width|height> [<amount>] [px|ppt]::
|
||||
Resizes the currently focused container or view by _amount_. _amount_ is
|
||||
optional: the default value is 10 (either px or ppt depending on the view type).
|
||||
The [px|ppt] parameter is optional. _px_ specifies that _amount_ refers to pixels;
|
||||
_ppt_ specifies that _amount_ refers to percentage points of the current
|
||||
size. Floating views use px by default (but can use ppt if specified); tiled
|
||||
views use ppt by default (but can use px if specified).
|
||||
|
||||
**resize set** <width> [px] <height> [px]::
|
||||
Sets the width and height of the currently focused container to _width_ pixels
|
||||
and _height_ pixels. The [px] parameters are optional and have no effect. This
|
||||
command only accepts a size in pixels.
|
||||
|
||||
**resize set** <width|height> <amount> [px] [<width|height> <amount> [px]]::
|
||||
Sets the _width_ and/or _height_ of the currently focused container to
|
||||
_amount_. The [px] parameters are optional and have no effect. This command
|
||||
only accepts a size in pixels.
|
||||
|
||||
**scratchpad show**::
|
||||
Shows a window from the scratchpad. Repeatedly using this command will cycle
|
||||
through the windows in the scratchpad.
|
||||
|
||||
**split** <vertical|v|horizontal|h|toggle|t>::
|
||||
Splits the current container, vertically or horizontally. If toggled, then the
|
||||
current container is split opposite to the parent container.
|
||||
|
||||
**splith**::
|
||||
Equivalent to **split horizontal**.
|
||||
|
||||
**splitv**::
|
||||
Equivalent to **split vertical**.
|
||||
|
||||
**splitt**::
|
||||
Equivalent to **split toggle**.
|
||||
|
||||
**sticky** <enable|disable|toggle>::
|
||||
"Sticks" a floating window to the current output so that it shows up on all
|
||||
workspaces.
|
||||
|
||||
The following commands may be used either in the configuration file
|
||||
or triggered at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
**assign** <criteria> [→] <workspace>::
|
||||
Assigns views matching _criteria_ (see **Criteria** section below) to
|
||||
_workspace_. The → (U+2192) is optional and purely for aesthetics. This
|
||||
command is exactly equivalent to "for_window <criteria> move container to
|
||||
workspace <workspace>".
|
||||
|
||||
**bindsym** <key combo> <command>::
|
||||
Binds _key combo_ to execute _command_ when pressed. You may use XKB key
|
||||
names here (**xev**(1) is a good tool for discovering them). An example
|
||||
bindsym command would be **bindsym Mod1+Shift+f exec firefox**, which would
|
||||
execute Firefox if the alt, shift, and F keys are pressed together. Any
|
||||
valid sway command is eligible to be bound to a key combo.
|
||||
+
|
||||
**bindcode** <code> <command> is also available for binding with key codes
|
||||
instead of key names.
|
||||
|
||||
**client**.<color_class> <border> <background> <text> <indicator> <child_border>::
|
||||
The client commands control the colors of the view borders and title bars. All
|
||||
client commands _require_ five color values. (The one exception is
|
||||
**client.background** which _requires_ one color value.) If you only want to
|
||||
specify a subset, supply default colors for all the others. Colors must be
|
||||
defined in hex. i.e. _#rrggbb_ or _#rrggbbaa_, when including the alpha
|
||||
channel.
|
||||
+
|
||||
The command tokens are:
|
||||
**color_class**::: Specifies the view to which the colors apply.
|
||||
**client.background**:::: The color a view will be painted, underneath the
|
||||
client itself. This will only be visible if a client does not fully
|
||||
cover its allocated view space. This command only requires one color. _Note_:
|
||||
This is not currently implemented.
|
||||
**client.focused**:::: The view that has focus.
|
||||
**client.focused_inactive**:::: A view that has focus within its
|
||||
container, but the container is not focused.
|
||||
**client.placeholder**:::: Used when drawing placeholder view contents.
|
||||
Only background and text colors are used. _Note_: This is not
|
||||
currently implemented.
|
||||
**client.unfocused**:::: A view that does not have focus.
|
||||
**client.urgent**:::: A view with an urgency hint. _Note_: This is not
|
||||
currently implemented.
|
||||
**border**::: The border around the title bar.
|
||||
**background**::: The background of the title bar.
|
||||
**text**::: The text color of the title bar.
|
||||
**indicator**::: The color used to indicate where a new view will open. In a
|
||||
tiled container, this would paint the right border of the current view if
|
||||
a new view would be opened to the right.
|
||||
**child_border**::: The border around the view itself.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
The default colors are:

**debuglog** <on|off|toggle>::
|
||||
Enables, disables or toggles debug logging. The toggle argument cannot be used
|
||||
in the configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
**default_border** <normal|none|pixel> [<n>]::
|
||||
Set default border style for new windows. This command was previously called
|
||||
**new_window**. While **new_window** still works, it is considered deprecated
|
||||
and support for it will be removed in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
**default_floating_border** <normal|none|pixel> [<n>]::
|
||||
Set default border style for new floating windows. This only applies to
|
||||
windows that are spawned in floating mode, not windows that become floating
|
||||
after the fact. This command was previously called **new_float**. While
|
||||
**new_float** still works, it is considered deprecated and support for it will
|
||||
be removed in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
**exec** <shell command>::
|
||||
Executes _shell command_ with sh.
|
||||
|
||||
**exec_always** <shell command>::

|
||||
*restart* is executed.
|
||||
|
||||
**floating_maximum_size** <width> x <height>::
|
||||
Specifies the maximum size of floating windows.
|
||||
Uses the container size as default.
|
||||
-1 x -1 will remove any restriction on size.
|
||||
0 x 0 has the same behavior as not setting any value.
|
||||
If in conflict, this option has precedence over floating_minimum_size.
|
||||
|
||||
**floating_minimum_size** <width> x <height>::
|
||||
Specifies the minimum size of floating windows.
|
||||
Default parameters are 75 x 50.
|
||||
-1 and 0 are invalid parameters, default will be used instead.
|
||||
|
||||
**floating_modifier** <modifier> [normal|inverse]::
|
||||
When the _modifier_ key is held down, you may hold left click to move floating
|
||||
windows, and right click to resize them. Unlike i3, this modifier may also be

|
||||
Marks are arbitrary labels that can be used to identify certain windows and
|
||||
then jump to them at a later time. By default, the **mark** command sets

|
||||
"270" for rotation; or "flipped", "flipped-90", "flipped-180", "flipped-270"
|
||||
to apply a rotation and flip, or "normal" to apply no transform.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
others.
|
||||
|
||||
**seamless_mouse** <on|off>::

|
||||
be configured with perfectly aligned adjacent positions for this option to
|
||||
have any effect.
|
||||
|
||||
**show_marks** <on|off>::
|
||||
If **show_marks** is on then marks will be showed in the window decoration.

|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
**workspace** <prev|next>::
|
||||

When _yes_, repeating a workspace switch command will switch back to the
|
||||
prior workspace. For example, if you are currently on workspace 1,
|
||||
switch to workspace 2, then invoke the "workspace 2" command again, you
|
||||
will be returned to workspace 1. Defaults to _no_.
|
||||

Criteria
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
A criteria is a string in the form of e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
[class="[Rr]egex.*" title="some title"]
|
||||
|
||||
The string contains one or more (space separated) attribute/value pairs. They
|
||||
are used by some commands to choose which views to execute actions on. All attributes
|
||||
must match for the criteria to match.
|
||||
|
||||
Criteria may be used with either the **for_window** or **assign** commands to
|
||||
specify operations to perform on new views. A criteria may also be used to
|
||||
perform specific commands (ones that normally act upon one window) on all views
|
||||
that match that criteria. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
Focus on a window with the mark "IRC":
|
||||
[con_mark="IRC"] focus
|
||||
|
||||
Kill all windows with the title "Emacs":
|
||||
[class="Emacs"] kill
|
||||
|
||||
Mark all Firefox windows with "Browser":
|
||||
[class="Firefox"] mark Browser
|
||||
|
||||
Currently supported attributes:
|
||||
|

||||
**class**::
|
||||
Compare value against the window class. Can be a regular expression. If
|

currently focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
**con_id**::
|
||||
Compare against the internal container ID, which you can find via IPC.
|

|
||||
Compare value against the X11 window id. Must be numeric.
|
||||
|
||||
**instance**::
|
||||
Compare value against the window instance. Can be a regular expression. If
|

|
||||
Compares the urgent state of the window. Can be "latest" or "oldest".
|
||||
|
||||
**window_role**::
|
||||

|
||||
expression. If value is __focused__, then the window role must be the same
|
||||
as that of the currently focused window.
|
||||
|
||||
**window_type**::
|
||||
Compare against the window type (_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE). Possible values are
|
||||
