Sway maintains a list of pending transactions, and tries to merge consecutive transactions applying to the same views into one. Given a pending transactions list on views {A, B, C} of: A -> A' -> A'' -> B -> B' -> B'' Sway will collapse the transactions into just A'' -> B''. This works fine when doing things like resizing views by their border. However, when interactively resizing layouts like H[V[A B] C], we end up with pending transaction lists like: A -> B -> C -> A' -> B' -> C' -> A'' -> B'' -> C'' Previously, Sway would not be able to simplify this transaction list, and execute many more transactions than would be necessary (the final state is determined by {A'', B'', C''}). After this commit, the transaction list gets simplified to A'' -> B'' -> C'', resolving performance problems (that were particularly noticeable with high-refresh-rate mice). Fixes #5736. |

Compiling from Source
Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)

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).
