@ -14,6 +14,11 @@ Are you trying to run x applications? You probably don't have xwayland installed
Are you running sway on top of X11, with i3 already running? i3 will intercept any key presses that would otherwise be sent to sway, and if you use the exact same key bindings then sway will never get any of them.
### Why is my keyboard layout wrong?
You have to set the keyboard layout before starting sway, e.g. ```XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=de sway```
It is also possble to set other options known from ```setxkbmap``` with ```XKB_DEFAULT_{MODEL,LAYOUT,VARIANT,OPTIONS}```
### Why can't I move my mouse to my other monitor?
Cause wlc [doesn't support that yet](https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc/issues/32). However, workspaces are available on those monitors. Use your usual key bindings to switch to them and the mouse will follow.
