Currently, variables cannot contain commands and cannot span more than
one argument. This is due to variable replacement happening after
determining the handler and after splitting the config line into
arguments.
This changes the process to:
0. Check for empty lines and block boundaries
1. Split the arguments as before
2. Verify that the first argument is not a variable. If needed the
following occurs
a. Perform variable replacement on just the first argument
b. Join the arguments back together then split the arguments again. This is needed when the variable
contains the command and arguments for the command.
3. Determine the handler
4. If the handler is cmd_set, escape the variable name so that it does
not get replaced
5. Join the arguments back together, do variable replacement on the full
command, and split the arguments again
6. Perform any needed quote stripping or unescaping on arguments
7. Run the command handler
This allows for config snippets such as:
```
set $super bindsym Mod4
$super+a exec some-command
```
and
```
set $bg bg #ffffff solid_color
output * $bg
```

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)

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).
