The → (U+2192) is optional and purely for aesthetics. This - command is exactly equivalent to "for_window move container to - workspace ". - -**bindsym** :: - 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** is also available for binding with key codes - instead of key names. - -**client**. :: - 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.

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: -+ --- -[options="header"] -|=========================================================================== -|color_class |border |background |text |indicator |child_border -|background |n/a |#ffffff |n/a |n/a |n/a -|focused |#4c7899 |#285577 |#ffffff |#2e9ef4 |#285577 -|focused_inactive |#333333 |#5f676a |#ffffff |#484e50 |#5f676a -|unfocused |#333333 |#222222 |#888888 |#292d2e |#222222 -|urgent |#2f343a |#900000 |#ffffff |#900000 |#900000 -|placeholder |#000000 |#0c0c0c |#ffffff |#000000 |#0c0c0c -|=========================================================================== --- - -**debuglog** :: - Enables, disables or toggles debug logging.

Unlike i3, this modifier may also be - used to resize and move windows that are tiled. With the _inverse_ mode - enabled, left click is used for resizing and right click for dragging. The - mode parameter is optional and defaults to _normal_ if it isn't defined. - -**floating_scroll** [command]:: - Sets a command to be executed when the mouse wheel is scrolled in the - specified direction while holding the floating modifier.

Default is _none_. - -**input** :: - Append _{_ to this command, the following lines will be commands to configure - the named input device, and _}_ on its own line will close the block. - + - **input * ** may be used to match all input devices. - + - See **sway-input**(5) for details. - -**seat** :: - Append _{_ to this command, the following lines will be commands to configure - the named seat, and _}_ on its own line will close the block. - See **sway-input**(5) for details. - -**seat** cursor :: - Move cursor relatively to current position or set to absolute screen position. - A value of 0 causes the axis to be ignored in both commands. - -**seat** cursor :: - Simulate press of mouse button specified by left, right, or numerical code. - -**kill**:: - Kills (force-closes) the currently-focused container and all of its children. - -**smart_gaps** :: - If smart_gaps are _on_ then gaps will only be enabled if a workspace has more - than one child container. - -**mark** \<--add|--replace> \<--toggle> :: - 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 - _identifier_ as the only mark on a window. By specifying _--add_, mark will - add _identifier_ to the list of current marks. If _--toggle_ is specified mark - will remove _identifier_ if it is already a label. Marks may be found by using - a criteria. See the **Criteria** section below. - -**mode** :: - Switches to the given mode_name. The default mode is simply _default_. To - create a new mode append _{_ to this command, the following lines - will be keybindings for that mode, and _}_ on its own line to close the block. - -**mouse_warping** :: - When _output_: place mouse at center of newly focused window when changing - output. When _none_: don't move mouse. - -**no_focus** :: - Prevents windows matching from being focused automatically when - they're created. This does not apply to the first window in a workspace. - -**output** mode|resolution|res [@[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, use swaymsg -t get_outputs. - + - Examples: - + - output HDMI-A-1 mode 1920x1080 - + - output HDMI-A-1 mode 1920x1080@60Hz - -**output** position|pos :: - Configures the specified output to be arranged at the given position. - -**output** scale :: - Configures the specified output to be scaled up by the specified integer - scaling factor (usually 2 for HiDPI screens).

Outputs need to - be configured with perfectly aligned adjacent positions for this option to - have any effect. - -**show_marks** :: - If **show_marks** is on then marks will be showed in the window decoration. - However, any mark that starts with an underscore will not be drawn even if the - option is on. The default option is _on_. - -**opacity** :: - Set the opacity of the window between 0 (completely transparent) and 1 - (completely opaque). - -**unmark** :: - **Unmark** will remove _identifier_ from the list of current marks on a window. If - no _identifier_ is specified, then **unmark** will remove all marks. - -**workspace** [number] :: - Switches to the specified workspace. The string "number" is optional. The - workspace _name_, if unquoted, may not contain the string "output", as sway - will assume that the command is moving a workspace to an output, as described - below. - -**workspace** :: - Switches to the next workspace on the current output or on the next output - if currently on the last workspace. - -**workspace** :: - Switches to the next workspace on the current output. - -**workspace** output :: - Specifies that the workspace named _name_ should appear on the specified - _output_. - -**workspace_auto_back_and_forth** :: - When _yes_, repeating a workspace switch command will switch back to the - prior workspace.

Defaults to _no_. - -**workspace_layout** :: Specifies the start layout for new workspaces. - -**include** :: - Includes a sub config file by _path_. _path_ can be either a full path or a - path relative to the parent config. - -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: - -**app_id**:: - Compare value against the app id.

If - value is __focused__, then the window instance must be the same as that of - the currently focused window. - -**tiling**:: - Matches against 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.
