Ryan Dwyer 2024f1da72 Resize only current and immediate siblings rather than all siblings
For example, create layout V[view view view] and resize the leftmost
view using mod+rightclick. Previously, the edge between view 2 and 3
would be adjusted as well. Now this edge will remain constant, which
matches the behaviour of i3.

To do this operation correctly, the resize tiling seatop now keeps track
of two containers, as the container that resizes horizontally will be a
different container to the one which resizes vertically (one will be an
ancestor). The tiling resize seatop now figures out these containers
during the start of the operation and keeps references to them in the
event. A new function container_find_resize_parent has been introduced
to do this. This function is also used by the resize command.

During cursor motion, the seatop logic is similar to before, but now has
to choose the correct container to resize.

In resize.c, container_resize_tiled and resize_tiled have been merged
into one. One of them originally did nothing except pass the values
through to the other.

container_resize_tiled now takes a simplified approach where it just
finds the immediate siblings on either side and resizes them without
worrying about the others. The parellel_coord and parallel_size
functions are no longer needed and have been removed.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 **
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

**optional: required for swaybg

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
