README.md

sway Donate with fosspay

"SirCmpwn's Wayland window manager" is a work in progress i3-compatible window manager for Wayland. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).

Rationale

I use i3 on xorg. Wayland is coming, and i3way still has zero lines of source code after two years.

Status

See "i3 feature support"

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.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • cmake
  • wlc
  • wayland
  • xwayland
  • asciidoc
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo

Run these commands:

cmake .
make
sudo make install

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 /etc/sway/config to ~/.config/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.
