Brian Ashworth bac9559665 ISSUE_TEMPLATE: Use the newer issue templates 
This utilizes the newer Github issue templates. They allow for the user
to specify what type of issue they are submitting to allow for a more
specific issue template to be shown.

In addition to a hopefully easier to read/parse/follow bug report
template, this also include templates for enhancements and i3
compatibility. This also includes a link to the IRC under the section
title Questions.

For the three templates, the labels bug, enhancement, and i3-compat will
be automatically applied for the appropriate report to assist in
triaging.

Hopefully, this will result in less questions and issues for new window
management functionality on Github and allow for better quality issues
being submitted. At the very least, it allows us to outline our
stances for bugs, enhancements, and i3-compatibility in an easier to
read format.

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:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

*Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

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).
