Rouven Czerwinski ddad41f423 Fix sway crashes for scratchpad layouts
Currently container_replace removes the container from the scratchpad
and re-adds it afterwards. For the split commands this results in the
container being send to the scratchpad, which results in a NULL segfault
if the same container should be shown.
Pass an optional workspace to root_scratchpad_add_container, if the
workspace is passed the window will continue to show on the workspace.
If NULL is passed it is sent to the scratchpad.
This was an issue if no other window except the scratchpad container was
on the workspace.

Fixes #4240

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 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

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).
