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). + +# AUTHORS + +Maintained by Drew DeVault <sir@cmpwn.com>, who is assisted by other open +source contributors.
