Wai Hon Law 585236f168 Make the default workspace commands compatible with i3 
**Problem**

When I rename the workspace to something like "1:web",
`$mod+1` does not move to the "1:web" with the default config. This breaks
the expectation of i3 users.

**Cause**

The default Sway binding for `$mod+1` does not have the number
keyword:

```
bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1
```

Instead, the default Sway binding for `$mod+1` is

```
bindsym Mod1+1 workspace number $ws1
```

is the corresponding commit from i3.

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 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

*Compile-time dep

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).
