Description
-----------
-Sway allows for configuration of libinput devices within the sway configuration file.
+Sway allows for configuration of devices within the sway configuration file.
sway-input commands must be used inside an _input { }_ block in the config.
To obtain a list of available device identifiers, run **swaymsg -t get_inputs**.

+Input Commands
+--------------
+
+Keyboard Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For more information on these xkb configuration options, see
+**xkeyboard-config**(7).
+
+**input** <identifier> xkb_layout <layout_name>::
+ Sets the layout of the keyboard like _us_ or _de_.
+
+**input** <identifier> xkb_model <model_name>::
+ Sets the model of the keyboard. This has an influence for some extra keys your
+ keyboard might have.
+
+**input** <identifier> xkb_options <options>::
+ Sets extra xkb configuration options for the keyboard.
+
+**input** <identifier> xkb_rules <rules>::
+ Sets files of rules to be used for keyboard mapping composition.
+
+**input** <identifier> xkb_variant <variant>::
+ Sets the variant of the keyboard like _dvorak_ or _colemak_.
+
+Mapping Configuration
+---------------------
+
+**input** <identifier> map_to_output <identifier>::
+ Maps inputs from this device to the specified output. Only meaningful if the
+ device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet device.
+
+**input** <identifier> map_to_region <WxH\@X,Y>::
+ Maps inputs from this device to the specified region of the global output
+ layout. Only meaningful if the device is a pointer, touch, or drawing tablet
+ device.
+
+**input** <identifier> map_region <WxH\@X,Y>::
+ Ignores inputs from this device that do not occur within the specified region.
+ Can be in millimeters (e.g. 10mmx20mm\@10mm,20mm) or in terms of 0..1 (e.g.
+ 0.5x0.5\@0,0). Not all devices support millimeters. Only meaningful if the
+ device is not a keyboard an provides events in absolute terms (such as a
+ drawing tablet or touch screen - most pointers provide events relative to the
+ previous frame).
+
+Libinput Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**input** <identifier> accel_profile <adaptive|flat>::
Sets the pointer acceleration profile for the specified input device.
@@ -53,6 +98,27 @@ Commands
**input** <identifier> tap <enabled|disabled>::
Enables or disables tap for specified input device.
+Seat Configuration
+------------------
+
+Configure options for multiseat mode. sway-seat commands must be used inside a
+_seat { }_ block in the config.
+
+A _seat_ is a collection of input devices that act independently of each other.
+Seats are identified by name and the default seat is _seat0_ if no seats are
+configured. Each seat has an independent keyboard focus and a separate cursor that
+is controlled by the pointer devices of the seat. This is useful for multiple
+people using the desktop at the same time with their own devices (each sitting in
+their own "seat").
+
+**seat** <name> attach <input_identifier>::
+ Attach an input device to this seat by its input identifier. A special value
+ of _*_ will attach all devices to the seat.
+
+**seat** <name> fallback <true|false>::
+ Set this seat as the fallback seat. A fallback seat will attach any device not
+ explicitly attached to another seat (similar to a "default" seat).
