This adds support for specifying a binding for a specific group. Any binding without a group listed will be available in all groups. The priority for matching bindings is as follows: input device, group, and locked state. For full compatibility with i3, this also adds Mode_switch as an alias for Group2. Since i3 only supports this for backwards compatibility with older versions of i3, it is implemented here, but not documented. |

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).
