sway - configuration file and commands
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
A sway configuration file is a list of sway commands that are exected by sway on
|
|
startup. These commands usually consist of setting your preferences and setting
|
|
key bindings. An example config is likely present in /etc/sway/config for you to
|
|
check out.
|
|
|
|
All of these commands may be issued at runtime through **sway-msg**(1).
|
|
|
|
Commands
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**bindsym** <key combo> <command>::
|
|
Binds _key combo_ to execute _command_ when pressed. You may use XKB key
|
|
names here (**xev**(1) is a good tool for discovering them). An example
|
|
bindsym command would be _bindsym Mod1+Shift+f exec firefox_, which would
|
|
execute Firefox if the alt, shift, and F keys are pressed together. Any
|
|
valid sway command is eligible to be bound to a key combo.
|
|
|
|
**exec** <shell command>::
|
|
Executes _shell command_ with sh.
|
|
|
|
**exec_always** <shell command>::
|
|
Like exec, but the shell command will be executed _again_ after *reload* or
|
|
*restart* is executed.
|
|
|
|
**exit**::
|
|
Exit sway and end your Wayland session.
|
|
|
|
**floating** toggle::
|
|
Toggles the "floating" status of the focused view.
|
|
|
|
**focus** <direction>::
|
|
Direction may be one of _up_, _down_, _left_, _right_, or _parent_. The
|
|
directional focus commands will move the focus in that direction. The parent
|
|
focus command will change the focus to the parent of the currently focused
|
|
container, which is useful, for example, to open a sibling of the parent
|
|
container, or to move the entire container around.
|
|
|
|
**focus** mode_toggle::
|
|
Toggles focus between floating view and tiled view.
|
|
|
|
**focus_follows_mouse** <yes|no>::
|
|
If set to _yes_, the currently focused view will change as you move your
|
|
mouse around the screen to the view that ends up underneath your mouse.
|
|
|
|
**kill**::
|
|
Closes the currently focused view.
|
|
|
|
**layout** <mode>::
|
|
Sets the layout mode of the focused container. _mode_ can be one of _splith_,
|
|
_splitv_, or _toggle split_.
|
|
|
|
**reload**::
|
|
Reloads the sway config file without restarting sway.
|
|
|
|
**set** <name> <value>::
|
|
Creates a substitution for _value_ that can be used with $_name_ in other
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
**split** <vertical|horizontal>::
|
|
Splits the current container, vertically or horiziontally. The letters "h" and
|
|
"v" can be used instead of the full words "vertical" or "horizontal".
|
|
|
|
**splith**::

|
|
|
|
**splitv**::
|

|
|
windows, and right click to resize them.
|
|
|
|
**fullscreen**::
|
|
Toggles fullscreen status for the focused view.
|
|

|
|
|
|
**gaps** <inner|outer> <amount>::
