Kenny Levinsen 6b900bab60 seat: Set keyboard if seat keyboard is NULL
sway sends wl_keyboard.enter on seat focus change and when a keyboard
active on a seat is configured. If all keyboards are removed and a
keyboard is added back without changing the focused client, no new
notify event would be sent despite having keyboard focus. This could
lead to key events without notify, which is a protocol violation.

As a quick fix, when configuring a keyboard on a seat where no keyboard
is currently active, activate the keyboard so that a focused surface
will receive a notify event.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

Compiling from Source

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre2
  • 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 nor seatd, 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).
