setting key bindings. An example config is likely present in /etc/sway/config
for you to check out.
Lines in the configuration file might be extended through multiple lines by
adding a '\' character at the end of line. e.g.:
bindsym Shift+XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume \
$(pactl list sinks | grep -B 1 RUNNING | sed '1q;d' | sed 's/[^0-9]\+//g') +5%
These commands can be executed in your config file, via **sway-msg**(1), or via
the bindsym command.
