Jarkko Oranen 924ed6464c Prevent "move next" and "move prev" commands from crashing
Fixes #1120

When the parent of a view is C_WORKSPACE and the movement direction
is either MOVE_PREV or MOVE_NEXT, the code would attempt to move the
views to the next output, but swayc_adjacent_output can't accept
non-directional movement commands and causes undefined behaviour and
a segfault.

If the code is simply skipped, we end up in an infinite loop.

Instead, we can allow containers whose parent is a C_WORKSPACE take the
path that handles MOVE_PREV and MOVE_NEXT, which behaves as you would
expect.

I'm not certain that this fix is entirely correct as the desired behaviour
of move_container is not very well defined, but it seems to work.

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.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • cmake
  • wlc
  • wayland
  • xwayland
  • libcap
  • 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
sudo setcap cap_sys_ptrace=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.

My own dotfiles are available here if you want some inspiration, and definitely check out the wiki as well.

Running

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