This changes our gaps implementation to behave like i3-gaps. Our previous implementation allowed you to set gaps on a per container basis. This isn't supported by i3-gaps and doesn't seem to have a practical use case. The gaps_outer and gaps_inner properties on containers are now removed as they just read the gaps_inner from the workspace. `gaps inner|outer <px>` no longer changes the gaps for all workspaces. It only sets defaults for new workspaces. `gaps inner|outer current|workspace|all set|plus|minus <px>` is now runtime only, and the workspace option is now removed. `current` now sets gaps for the current workspace as opposed to the current container. `workspace <ws> gaps inner|outer <px>` is now implemented. This sets defaults for a workspace. This also fixes a bug where changing the layout of a split container from linear to tabbed would cause gaps to not be applied to it until you switch to another workspace and back. |

"SirCmpwn's Wayland compositor" is a work in progress i3-compatible Wayland compositor. Read the FAQ. Join the IRC channel (#sway on irc.freenode.net).
Notice: work is well underway to port sway to wlroots. This is unstable and unsupported - we accept patches, but are not fond of bug reports. We are no longer accepting bugs for 0.15.
If you'd like to support sway development, please contribute to SirCmpwn's Patreon page.

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.

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).
