Configuration
-------------
If _-c_ is not specified, sway will look in several locations for your config
file. 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. Sway looks for a config file in
a fallback directory as a last resort, which is /etc/sway/ by default. A standard
configuration file is installed at this location. If still nothing is found,
you will receive an error.
To write your own config, it's suggested that you copy the default config file to
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.
