When both options and positional arguments are given, sway would print the error `Don't use options with the IPC client`. Over the past several months, it seems like users are including this error message in issues instead of a debug log due to not understanding that the error message means there is an issue with their command. This makes the error message more verbose and will hopefully make it so more users understand that the message is not a bug in sway, but with the command used. |

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).
