Ryan Dwyer 701fcafc70 Use list_find in more places and refactor/fix workspace prev_next functions
The original purpose of this commit is to replace some for loops with
list_find. But while doing this I found the workspace_prev_next_impl
functions to be difficult to read and also contained a bug, so I
refactored them and fixed the bug.

To reproduce the bug:

* Have two outputs, where the left output has workspaces 1, 2, 3 and the
right output has workspaces 4, 5, 6. Make workspace 2 focused_inactive
and workspace 4 focused.
* Run `workspace prev`.
* Previously it would visit the left output, then apply `workspace prev`
to workspace 2, which focuses workspace 1.
* Now it will focus the rightmost workspace on the left output
(workspace 3).

The refactoring I made to the workspace functions are:

* Added the static keyword.
* They now accept an int dir rather than bool, to avoid an unnecessary
conversion.
* Rather than preparing start and end variables for the purpose of
iterating, just iterate everything.
* Replace for loops with list_find.
* Don't call workspace_output_prev_next_impl (this fixes the bug).

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
  • xwayland
  • libinput >= 1.6.0
  • libcap
  • pcre
  • json-c >= 0.13

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).
