Brian Ashworth 12876932a9 Allow multiple outputs for workspace output
`i3 4.16` allows users to list multiple outputs for a workspace and the
first available will be used. The syntax is as follows:
`workspace <workspace> output <outputs...>`

Additionally when the workspace is created, the outputs get added to the
output priority list in the order specified. This ensures that if a higher
output gets connected, the workspace will move to the higher output. This
works the same way as if the user had a workspace on an output, disconnected
the output, and then later reconnected the output.

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 **
  • pam (optional: PAM support for swaylock)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

**optional: required for swaybg and swaylock

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).
