## Rationale
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and [i3way](http://i3way.org/) still has
|
|
|
|
|
zero lines of source code after two years.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-16 14:04:51 +00:00
|
|
|
mkdir ~/.config/sway
|
|
|
|
|
cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/sway/
|
2015-08-08 23:39:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-08-17 20:49:54 +00:00
|
|
|
Or if you don't already use i3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir ~/.config/sway
|
|
|
|
|
cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit to your liking.

## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sway
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you run this while xorg is running, it'll run inside of an x window (useful
|
|
|
|
|
for testing). Otherwise, it'll run wayland properly.
