Mikkel Oscar Lyderik 71a5350b68 Implement include command
The include command (`include <path>`) makes it possible to include sub
config files from the main config file (or from within other sub config
files).

The include command uses the following rules for including config files:

* the `path` can be either a full path or a path that is relative to the
  parent config. Shell expansion is supported, so it's possible to do
  `include ~/.config/sway.d/*`.
* The same config file can only be included once (to prevent include
  cycles). If a config is included multiple times it will just be
  ignored after it has been included once.
* Including a sub config file is the same as inserting the content of
  that file into the parent config, thus rules about overwriting
  bindsyms etc. works the same as for a single config.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is not supported by many distributions yet. Here's a list of packages available for you to install:

For other distros, see this wiki page. 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:

  • cmake
  • wlc
  • wayland
  • xwayland
  • asciidoc
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango *
  • cairo *
  • gdk-pixbuf2 *
  • pam **
  • imagemagick (required for image capture with swaygrab)
  • ffmpeg (required for video capture with swaygrab)

*Only required for swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock

**Only required for swaylock

Run these commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc ..
make
sudo make install

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

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

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

Instead of running startx, run sway. You can run sway from within X as well, which is useful for testing.
