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.

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.
