# NAME
|
|
|
|
sway - configuration file and commands
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A sway configuration file is a list of sway commands that are executed by sway
|
|
on startup. These commands usually consist of setting your preferences and
|
|
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 @DEFAULT_SINK@ -1%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Commands can also be given as a block in the form *command { <subcommands...>
|
|
}*. Anything before the opening *{* will be prepended to the lines inside the
|
|
block. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
output eDP-1 {
|
|
background ~/wallpaper.png
|
|
resolution 1920x1080
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
is identical to
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
output eDP-1 background ~/wallpaper.png
|
|
output eDP-1 resolution 1920x1080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These commands can be executed in your config file, via *swaymsg*(1), or via
|
|
the bindsym command.
|
|
|
|
# COMMAND CONVENTIONS
|
|
|
|
Commands are split into several arguments using spaces. You can enclose
|
|
arguments with quotation marks (*"..."* or *'...'*) to add spaces to a single
|
|
argument. You may also run several commands in order by separating each with
|
|
*,* or *;*.
|
|
|
|
Throughout the documentation, *|* is used to distinguish between arguments for
|
|
which you may only select one. *[...]* is used for optional arguments, and
|
|
*<...>* for arguments where you are expected to supply some value.
|
|
|
|
# COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
The following commands may only be used in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
*bar* [<bar-id>] <bar-subcommands...>
|
|
For details on bar subcommands, see *sway-bar*(5).
|
|
|
|
*default\_orientation* horizontal|vertical|auto
|
|
Sets the default container layout for tiled containers.
|
|
|
|
*include* <path>
|
|
Includes another file from _path_. _path_ can be either a full path or a
|
|
path relative to the parent config, and expands shell syntax (see
|
|
*wordexp*(3) for details). The same include file can only be included once;
|
|
subsequent attempts will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
*swaybg\_command* <command>
|
|
Executes custom background _command_. Default is _swaybg_. Refer to
|
|
*sway-output*(5) for more information.
|
|
|
|
It can be disabled by setting the command to a single dash:
|
|
_swaybg\_command -_
|
|
|
|
*swaynag\_command* <command>
|
|
Executes custom command for _swaynag_. Default is _swaynag_. Additional
|
|
arguments may be appended to the end. This should only be used to either
|
|
direct sway to call swaynag from a custom path or to provide additional
|
|
arguments. This should be placed at the top of the config for the best
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
It can be disabled by setting the command to a single dash:
|
|
_swaynag\_command -_
|
|
|
|
The following commands cannot be used directly in the configuration file.
|
|
They are expected to be used with *bindsym* or at runtime through *swaymsg*(1).
|
|
|
|
*border* none|normal|csd|pixel [<n>]

|
|
for client-side-decorations, which allows the client to draw its own
|
|
decorations.
|
|
|
|
*border* toggle
|
|

|
|
|
|
*resize* shrink|grow width|height [<amount> [px|ppt]]
|
|
Resizes the currently focused container by _amount_, specified in pixels or
|
|
percentage points. If the units are omitted, floating containers are resized
|
|
in px and tiled containers by ppt. _amount_ will default to 10 if omitted.
|
|
|
|
*resize set* height <height> [px|ppt]
|
|

|
will not be resized.
|
|
|
|
*resize set* [width] <width> [px|ppt]

|
|
floating containers are resized in px and tiled containers by ppt. If
|
|
_width_ or _height_ is 0, the container will not be resized on that axis.
|
|
|
|
*scratchpad show*
|
|
Shows a window from the scratchpad. Repeatedly using this command will
|
|
cycle through the windows in the scratchpad.
|
|
|
|
*split* vertical|v|horizontal|h|toggle|t
|
|
Splits the current container, vertically or horizontally. When _toggle_ is
|
|
specified, the current container is split opposite to the parent
|
|
container's layout.
|
|
|
|
*splith*
|
|
Equivalent to *split horizontal*
|
|
|
|
*splitv*
|
|
Equivalent to *split vertical*
|
|
|
|
*splitt*
|
|
Equivalent to *split toggle*
|
|
|
|
*sticky* enable|disable|toggle
|
|
"Sticks" a floating window to the current output so that it shows up on all
|
|
workspaces.
|
|
|
|
*swap* container with id|con\_id|mark <arg>
|
|
Swaps the position, geometry, and fullscreen status of two containers. The
|
|
first container can be selected either by criteria or focus. The second
|
|
container can be selected by _id_, _con\_id_, or _mark_. _id_ can only be
|
|
used with xwayland views. If the first container has focus, it will retain
|
|
focus unless it is moved to a different workspace or the second container
|
|
becomes fullscreen on the same workspace as the first container. In either
|
|
of those cases, the second container will gain focus.
|
|
|
|
The following commands may be used either in the configuration file or at
|
|
runtime.
|
|
|
|
*assign* <criteria> [→] [workspace] [number] <workspace>
|
|
Assigns views matching _criteria_ (see *CRITERIA* for details) to
|
|
_workspace_. The → (U+2192) is optional and cosmetic. This command is
|
|
equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
for\_window <criteria> move container to workspace <workspace>
|
|
|
|
*assign* <criteria> [→] output left|right|up|down|<name>
|
|
Assigns views matching _criteria_ (see *CRITERIA* for details) to the
|
|
specified output. The → (U+2192) is optional and cosmetic. This command is
|
|
equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
for\_window <criteria> move container to output <output>
|
|
|
|
*bindsym* [--release|--locked] [--input-device=<device>] [--no-warn] <key combo> <command>
|
|
Binds _key combo_ to execute the sway command _command_ when pressed. You
|
|
may use XKB key names here (*xev*(1) is a good tool for discovering these).
|
|
With the flag _--release_, the command is executed when the key combo is
|
|
released. Unless the flag _--locked_ is set, the command will not be run
|
|
when a screen locking program is active. If _input-device_ is given, the
|
|
binding will only be executed for that input device and will be executed
|
|
instead of any binding that is generic to all devices. By default, if you
|
|
overwrite a binding, swaynag will give you a warning. To silence this, use
|
|
the _--no-warn_ flag.
|
|
|
|
Mouse buttons can either be specified in the form _button[1-9]_ or by using
|
|
the name of the event code (ex _BTN\_LEFT_ or _BTN\_RIGHT_). For the former
|
|
option, the buttons will be mapped to their values in X11 (1=left, 2=middle,
|
|
3=right, 4=scroll up, 5=scroll down, 6=scroll left, 7=scroll right, 8=back,
|
|
9=forward). For the latter option, you can find the event names using
|
|
_libinput debug-events_.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
# Execute firefox when alt, shift, and f are pressed together
|
|
bindsym Mod1+Shift+f exec firefox
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*bindcode* [--release|--locked] [--input-device=<device>] [--no-warn] <code> <command>
|
|
is also available for binding with key codes instead of key names.
|
|
|
|
*client.<class>* <border> <background> <text> <indicator> <child\_border>
|
|
Configures the color of window borders and title bars. All 5 colors are
|
|
required, with the exception of *client.background*, which requires exactly
|
|
one. Colors may be specified in hex, either as _#RRGGBB_ or _#RRGGBBAA_.
|
|
|
|
The available classes are:
|
|
|
|
*client.background*
|
|
Ignored (present for i3 compatibility).
|
|
|
|
*client.focused*
|
|

|
|
|
|
*client.focused\_inactive*
|
|

|
|
|
|
*client.placeholder*
|
|
Ignored (present for i3 compatibility).
|
|
|
|
*client.unfocused*
|
|
A view that does not have focus.
|
|
|
|
*client.urgent*

|
_background_
|
|
The background of the title bar.

|
|
_text_
|
|
The text color of the title bar.
|
|
|
|
_indicator_
|
|
The color used to indicate where a new view will open. In a tiled

container, this would paint the right border of the current view if a
|
|
new view would be opened to the right.

|
|
Set default border style for new tiled windows.
|
|
|
|
*default\_floating\_border* normal|none|pixel [<n>]
|
|
Set default border style for new floating windows. This only applies to
|
|
windows that are spawned in floating mode, not windows that become floating
|
|
afterwards.
|
|
|
|
*exec* <shell command>
|
|
Executes _shell command_ with sh.
|
|
|
|
*exec\_always* <shell command>
|
|
Like *exec*, but the shell command will be executed _again_ after *reload*.
|
|
|
|
*floating\_maximum\_size* <width> x <height>
|
|
Specifies the maximum size of floating windows. -1 x -1 removes the upper
|
|
limit.
|
|
|
|
*floating\_minimum\_size* <width> x <height>
|
|
Specifies the minimum size of floating windows. The default is 75 x 50.
|
|
|
|
*floating\_modifier* <modifier> [normal|inverse]
|
|
When the _modifier_ key is held down, you may hold left click to move
|
|
windows, and right click to resize them. If _inverse_ is specified, left
|
|
click is used for resizing and right click for moving.
|
|
|
|
*floating\_scroll* up|right|down|left [command]
|
|
Sets a command to be executed when the mouse wheel is scrolled in the
|
|
specified direction while holding the floating modifier. Resets the
|
|
command, when given no arguments.
|
|
|
|
*focus\_follows\_mouse* yes|no|always
|
|
If set to _yes_, moving your mouse over a window will focus that window. If
|
|
set to _always_, the window under the cursor will always be focused, even
|
|
after switching between workspaces.
|
|
|
|
*focus\_wrapping* yes|no|force
|
|
This option determines what to do when attempting to focus over the edge
|
|
of a container. If set to _no_, the focused container will retain focus,
|
|
if there are no other containers in the direction. If set to _yes_, focus
|
|
will be wrapped to the opposite edge of the container, if there are no
|
|
other containers in the direction. If set to _force_, focus will be wrapped
|
|
to the opposite edge of the container, even if there are other containers
|
|
in the direction. Default is _yes_.
|
|
|
|
*font* <font>
|
|
Sets font for use in title bars in Pango format.
|

|
|
Thickness of the titlebar border in pixels
|
|
|
|
*titlebar\_padding* <horizontal> [<vertical>]
|
|
Padding of the text in the titlebar. _horizontal_ value affects horizontal
|
|
padding of the text while _vertical_ value affects vertical padding (space
|
|
above and below text). Padding includes titlebar borders so their value
|
|
should be greater than titlebar\_border\_thickness. If _vertical_ value is
|
|
not specified it is set to the _horizontal_ value.
|
|
|
|
*for\_window* <criteria> <command>
|
|
Whenever a window that matches _criteria_ appears, run list of commands.
|
|
See *CRITERIA* for more details.
|
|
|
|
*force\_focus\_wrapping* yes|no
|
|
This option is a wrapper to support i3's legacy syntax. _no_ is equivalent
|
|
to _focus\_wrapping yes_ and _yes_ is equivalent to
|
|
_focus\_wrapping force_. This is only available for convenience. Please
|
|
use _focus\_wrapping_ instead when possible.
|
|
|
|
*gaps* inner|outer|horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left <amount>
|
|
Sets default _amount_ pixels of _inner_ or _outer_ gap, where the inner
|
|
affects spacing around each view and outer affects the spacing around each
|
|
workspace. Outer gaps are in addition to inner gaps. To reduce or remove
|
|
outer gaps, outer gaps can be set to a negative value. _outer_ gaps can
|
|
also be specified per side with _top_, _right_, _bottom_, and _left_ or
|
|
per direction with _horizontal_ and _vertical_.
|
|
|
|
This affects new workspaces only, and is used when the workspace doesn't
|
|
have its own gaps settings (see: workspace <ws> gaps ...).
|
|
|
|
*hide\_edge\_borders* none|vertical|horizontal|both|smart|smart\_no\_gaps
|
|
Hides window borders adjacent to the screen edges. Default is _none_.
|
|
|
|
*input* <input\_device> <input-subcommands...>
|
|
For details on input subcommands, see *sway-input*(5).
|
|
|
|
\* may be used in lieu of a specific device name to configure all input
|
|
devices. A list of input device names may be obtained via *swaymsg -t
|
|
get\_inputs*.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <seat> <seat-subcommands...>
|
|
For details on seat subcommands, see *sway-input*(5).
|
|
|
|
*seat* <seat> cursor move|set <x> <y>
|
|
Move specified seat's cursor relative to current position or wrap to
|
|
absolute coordinates (with respect to the global coordinate space).
|
|
Specifying either value as 0 will not update that coordinate.
|
|
|
|
*seat* <seat> cursor press|release left|right|1|2|3...
|
|
Simulate pressing (or releasing) the specified mouse button on the
|
|
specified seat.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Kills (closes) the currently focused container and all of its children.
|
|
|
|
*smart\_borders* on|no\_gaps|off
|
|
If smart\_borders are _on_, borders will only be enabled if the workspace
|
|
only has one visible child (identical to _hide\_edge\_borders_ smart). If
|
|
smart\_borders is set to _no\_gaps_, borders will only be enabled if the
|
|
workspace only has one visible child and gaps greater than zero.
|
|
|
|
*smart\_gaps* on|off
|
|
If smart\_gaps are _on_ gaps will only be enabled if a workspace has more
|
|
than one child.
|
|
|
|
*mark* --add|--replace [--toggle] <identifier>
|
|
Marks are arbitrary labels that can be used to identify certain windows and
|
|
then jump to them at a later time. By default, *mark* sets _identifier_ as
|
|
the only mark on a window. _--add_ will instead add _identifier_ to the
|
|
list of current marks. If _--toggle_ is specified mark will remove
|
|
_identifier_ if it is already marked.
|
|
|
|
*mode* <mode>
|
|
Switches to the specified mode. The default mode _default_.
|
|
|
|
*mode* [--pango\_markup] <mode> <mode-subcommands...>
|
|
The only two valid _mode-subcommands..._ are *bindsym* and *bindcode*.
|
|
If _--pango\_markup_ is given, then _mode_ will be interpreted as pango
|
|
markup.
|
|
|
|
*mouse\_warping* output|container|none
|
|
If _output_ is specified, the mouse will be moved to new outputs as you
|
|
move focus between them. If _container_ is specified, the mouse will be
|
|
moved to the middle of the container on switch. Default is _output_.
|
|
|
|
*no\_focus* <criteria>
|
|
Prevents windows matching <criteria> from being focused automatically when
|
|
they're created. This has no effect on the first window in a workspace.
|
|
|
|
*output* <output\_name> <output-subcommands...>
|
|
For details on output subcommands, see *sway-output*(5).
|
|
|
|
\* may be used in lieu of a specific output name to configure all outputs.
|
|
A list of output names may be obtained via *swaymsg -t get\_outputs*.
|
|
|
|
*popup\_during\_fullscreen* smart|ignore|leave\_fullscreen
|
|
Determines what to do when a fullscreen view opens a dialog.
|
|
If _smart_ (the default), the dialog will be displayed. If _ignore_, the
|
|
dialog will not be rendered. If _leave\_fullscreen_, the view will exit
|
|
fullscreen mode and the dialog will be rendered.
|
|
|
|
*set* $<name> <value>
|
|
Sets variable $_name_ to _value_. You can use the new variable in the
|
|
arguments of future commands. When the variable is used, it can be escaped
|
|
with an additional $ (ie $$_name_) to have the replacement happen at run
|
|
time instead of when reading the config. However, it does not always make
|
|
sense for the variable to be replaced at run time since some arguments do
|
|
need to be known at config time.
|
|
|
|
*show\_marks* yes|no
|
|
If *show\_marks* is yes, marks will be displayed in the window borders.
|
|
Any mark that starts with an underscore will not be drawn even if
|
|
*show\_marks* is yes. The default is _yes_.
|
|
|
|
*opacity* <value>
|
|
Set the opacity of the window between 0 (completely transparent) and 1
|
|
(completely opaque).
|
|
|
|
*tiling\_drag* enable|disable|toggle
|
|
Sets whether or not tiling containers can be dragged with the mouse. If
|
|
enabled (default), the _floating\_mod_ can be used to drag tiling, as well
|
|
as floating, containers. Using the left mouse button on title bars without
|
|
the _floating\_mod_ will also allow the container to be dragged. _toggle_
|
|
should not be used in the config file.
|
|
|
|
*title\_align* left|center|right
|
|
Sets the title alignment. If _right_ is selected and _show\_marks_ is set
|
|
to _yes_, the marks will be shown on the _left_ side instead of the
|
|
_right_ side.
|
|
|
|
*unmark* [<identifier>]
|
|
*unmark* will remove _identifier_ from the list of current marks on a
|
|
window. If _identifier_ is omitted, all marks are removed.
|
|
|
|
*urgent* enable|disable|allow|deny
|
|
Using _enable_ or _disable_ manually sets or unsets the window's urgent
|
|
state. Using _allow_ or _deny_ controls the window's ability to set itself
|
|
as urgent. By default, windows are allowed to set their own urgency.
|
|
|
|
*workspace* [--no-auto-back-and-forth] [number] <name>
|
|
Switches to the specified workspace. The string "number" is optional and is
|
|
used to sort workspaces.
|
|
|
|
*workspace* prev|next
|
|
Switches to the next workspace on the current output or on the next output
|
|
if currently on the last workspace.
|
|
|
|
*workspace* prev\_on\_output|next\_on\_output
|
|
Switches to the next workspace on the current output.
|
|
|
|
*workspace* back\_and\_forth
|
|
Switches to the previously focused workspace.
|
|
|
|
*workspace* <name> gaps inner|outer|horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left
|
|
<amount>
|
|
Specifies that workspace _name_ should have the given gaps settings when it
|
|
is created.
|
|
|
|
*workspace* <name> output <outputs...>
|
|
Specifies that workspace _name_ should be shown on the specified _outputs_.
|
|
Multiple outputs can be listed and the first available will be used. If the
|
|
workspace gets placed on an output further down the list and an output that
|
|
is higher on the list becomes available, the workspace will be move to the
|
|
higher priority output.
|
|
|
|
*workspace\_auto\_back\_and\_forth* yes|no
|
|
When _yes_, repeating a workspace switch command will switch back to the
|
|
prior workspace. For example, if you are currently on workspace 1,
|
|
switch to workspace 2, then invoke the "workspace 2" command again, you
|
|
will be returned to workspace 1. Default is _no_.
|
|
|
|
*workspace\_layout* default|stacking|tabbed
|
|
Specifies the initial layout for new workspaces.
|
|
|
|
# BAR CONTROL
|
|
|
|
*bar hidden\_state* hide|show|toggle [<bar\_id>]
|
|
Sets the hidden state of the bar (see *sway-bar*(5)), either individually,
|
|
by specifying a bar id, or if none is given, for all bar instances.
|
|
_toggle_ switches between _hide_ and _show_.
|
|
|
|
*bar mode* dock|hide|invisible|toggle [<bar\_id>]
|
|
Sets the mode of the bar (see *sway-bar*(5)), either individually,
|
|
by specifying a bar id, or if none is given, for all bar instances.
|
|
_toggle_ switches between _dock_ and _hide_.
|
|
|
|
# CRITERIA
|
|
|
|
A criteria is a string in the form of, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[class="[Rr]egex.*" title="some title"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The string contains one or more (space separated) attribute/value pairs. They
|
|
are used by some commands to choose which views to execute actions on. All
|
|
attributes must match for the criteria to match.
|
|
|
|
Criteria may be used with either the *for\_window* or *assign* commands to
|
|
specify operations to perform on new views. A criteria may also be used to
|
|
perform specific commands (ones that normally act upon one window) on all views
|
|
that match that criteria. For example:
|
|
|
|
Focus on a window with the mark "IRC":
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[con_mark="IRC"] focus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Kill all windows with the title "Emacs":
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[class="Emacs"] kill
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Mark all Firefox windows with "Browser":
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[class="Firefox"] mark Browser
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following attributes may be matched with:
|
|
|
|
*app\_id*
|
|
Compare value against the app id. Can be a regular expression. If value is
|
|
\_\_focused\_\_, then the app id must be the same as that of the currently
|
|
focused window.
|
|
|
|
*class*
|
|
Compare value against the window class. Can be a regular expression. If
|
|
value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the window class must be the same as that of
|
|
the currently focused window.
|
|
|
|
*con\_id*
|
|
Compare against the internal container ID, which you can find via IPC. If
|
|
value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the id must be the same as that of the
|
|
currently focused window.
|
|
|
|
*con\_mark*
|
|
Compare against the window marks. Can be a regular expression.
|
|
|
|
*floating*
|
|
Matches floating windows.
|
|
|
|
*id*
|
|
Compare value against the X11 window ID. Must be numeric.
|
|
|
|
*instance*
|
|
Compare value against the window instance. Can be a regular expression. If
|
|
value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the window instance must be the same as that
|
|
of the currently focused window.
|
|
|
|
*shell*
|
|
Compare value against the window shell, such as "xdg\_shell" or "xwayland".
|
|
Can be a regular expression. If value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the shell
|
|
must be the same as that of the currently focused window.
|
|
|
|
*tiling*
|
|
Matches tiling windows.
|
|
|
|
*title*
|
|
Compare against the window title. Can be a regular expression. If value is
|
|
\_\_focused\_\_, then the window title must be the same as that of the
|
|
currently focused window.
|
|
|
|
*urgent*
|
|
Compares the urgent state of the window. Can be "first", "last", "latest",
|
|
"newest", "oldest" or "recent".
|
|
|
|
*window\_role*
|
|
Compare against the window role (WM\_WINDOW\_ROLE). Can be a regular
|
|
expression. If value is \_\_focused\_\_, then the window role must be the
|
|
same as that of the currently focused window.
|
|
|
|
*window\_type*
|
|
Compare against the window type (\_NET\_WM\_WINDOW\_TYPE). Possible values
|
|
are normal, dialog, utility, toolbar, splash, menu, dropdown\_menu,
|
|
popup\_menu, tooltip and notification.
|
|
|
|
*workspace*
|
|
Compare against the workspace name for this view. Can be a regular
|
|
expression. If the value is \_\_focused\_\_, then all the views on the
|
|
currently focused workspace matches.
