+# DESCRIPTION
+
+sway was created to fill the need of an i3-like window manager for Wayland. The
+upstream i3 developers have no intention of porting i3 to Wayland, and projects
+proposed by others ended up as vaporware. Many thanks to the i3 folks for
+providing such a great piece of software, so good that your users would rather
+write an entirely new window manager from scratch that behaved _exactly_ like i3
+rather than switch to something else.
+
+You can run sway directly from a tty, or via a Wayland-compatible login manager.
+
+# CONFIGURATION
+
+sway searches for a config file in the following locations, in this order:
+
+. ~/.sway/config
+. $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/sway/config (suggested location)
+. ~/.i3/config
+. $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/i3/config
+. /etc/sway/config
+. /etc/i3/config
+
+If unset, $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME defaults to *~/.config*.
+
+An error is raised when no config file is found. The recommended default
+configuration is usually installed to */etc/sway/config*; you are encouraged to
+copy this to *~/.config/sway/config* and edit it from there.
+
+For information on the config file format, see *sway*(5).
+
+# IPC COMMANDS
+
+Though *swaymsg*(1) is generally preferred, you may run *sway* _command_ to
+send _command_ to the running instance of sway. You can also issue commands
+with *i3-msg*(1) or even with *i3*(1).
+
+# ENVIRONMENT
+
+The following environment variables have an effect on sway:
+
+_SWAY\_CURSOR\_THEME_
+ Specifies the name of the cursor theme to use.
+
+_SWAY\_CURSOR\_SIZE_
+ Specifies the size of the cursor to use.
+
+_SWAYSOCK_
+ Specifies the path to the sway IPC socket.
+
+_XKB\_DEFAULT\_RULES_, _XKB\_DEFAULT\_MODEL_, _XKB\_DEFAULT\_LAYOUT_,
+_XKB\_DEFAULT\_VARIANT_, _XKB\_DEFAULT\_OPTIONS_
+ Configures the xkb keyboard settings. See *xkeyboard-config*(7).

+source contributors. For more information about sway development, see
