First, the existing sway_binding structure is given an enumerated type code. As all flags to bindsym/bindcode are boolean, a single uint32 is used to hold all flags. The _BORDER, _CONTENTS, _TITLEBAR flags, when active, indicate in which part of a container the binding can trigger; to localize complexity, they do not overlap with the command line arguments, which center around _TITLEBAR being set by default. The keyboard handling code is adjusted for this change, as is binding_key_compare; note that BINDING_LOCKED is *not* part of the key portion of the binding. Next, list of mouse bindings is introduced and cleaned up. Finally, the binding command parsing code is extended to handle the case where bindsym is used to describe a mouse binding rather than a keysym binding; the difference between the two may be detected as late as when the first key/button is parsed, or as early as the first flag. As bindings can have multiple keycodes/keysyms/buttons, mixed keysym/button sequences are prohibited. |

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.

On systems with logind, you need to set a few caps on the binary:
sudo setcap "cap_sys_ptrace,cap_sys_tty_config=eip" /usr/local/bin/sway
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
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
