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).

sway - configuration file and commands
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
A sway configuration file is a list of sway commands that are exected 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.
|
||||
|
||||
All of these commands may be issued at runtime through **sway-msg**(1).
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
**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.
|
||||
|
||||
**exec** <shell command>::
|
||||
Executes _shell command_ with sh.
|
||||
|
||||
**exec_always** <shell command>::
|
||||
Like exec, but the shell command will be executed _again_ after *reload* or
|
||||
*restart* is executed.
|
||||
|
||||
**exit**::
|
||||
Exit sway and end your Wayland session.
|
||||
|
||||
**floating** toggle::
|
||||
Toggles the "floating" status of the focused view.
|
||||
|
||||
**focus** <direction>::
|
||||
Direction may be one of _up_, _down_, _left_, _right_, or _parent_. The
|
||||
directional focus commands will move the focus in that direction. 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_follows_mouse** <yes|no>::
|
||||
If set to _yes_, the currently focused view will change as you move your
|
||||
mouse around the screen to the view that ends up underneath your mouse.
|
||||
|
||||
**kill**::
|
||||
Closes the currently focused view.
|
||||
|
||||
**layout** <mode>::
|
||||
Sets the layout mode of the focused container. _mode_ can be one of _splith_,
|
||||
_splitv_, or _toggle split_.
|
||||
|
||||
**reload**::
|
||||
Reloads the sway config file without restarting sway.
|
||||
|
||||
**set** <name> <value>::
|
||||
Creates a substitution for _value_ that can be used with $_name_ in other
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
|
||||
**split** <vertical|horizontal>::
|
||||
Splits the current container, vertically or horiziontally. The letters "h" and
|
||||
"v" can be used instead of the full words "vertical" or "horizontal".
|
||||
|
||||
**splith**::
|
||||
Equivalent to **split horizontal**.
|
||||
|
||||
**splitv**::
|
||||
Equivalent to **split vertical**.
|
||||
|
||||
**fullscreen**:
|
||||
Toggles fullscreen status for the focused view.
|
||||
|
||||
**workspace** <name>:
|
||||
Switches to the specified workspace.
|
||||
|
||||
**workspace** <prev_on_output|next_on_output>:
|
||||
Switches to the next workspace on the current output.
|
||||
|
||||
**workspace** <name> output <output>::
|
||||
Specifies that the workspace named _name_ should appear on the specified
|
||||
_output_.
