# 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 can run sway directly from a tty, or via a Wayland-compatible login manager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# CONFIGURATION
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
sway searches for a config file in the following locations, in this order:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ~/.sway/config
|
||||||
|
- $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/sway/config (suggested location)
|
||||||
|
- ~/.i3/config
|
||||||
|
- $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/i3/config
|
||||||
|
- /etc/sway/config
|
||||||
|
- /etc/i3/config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If unset, $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME defalts to *~/.config*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An error is raised when no config file is found. The recommended default
|
||||||
|
configuration is usually installed to */etc/sway/config*; you are encouraged to
|
||||||
|
copy this to *~/.config/sway/config* and edit it from there.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For information on the config file format, see *sway*(5).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# IPC COMMANDS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Though *swaymsg*(1) is generally preferred, you may run *sway* _command_ to
|
||||||
|
send _command_ to the running instance of sway. You can also issue commands
|
||||||
|
with *i3-msg*(1) or even with *i3*(1).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
