This field is not in i3 and provides imprecise and redundant information. (Specifically, when swaymsg is given a list of commands, the IPC return array already indicates precisely which number command failed; knowing the name of the command is not useful when multiple commands of the same type are provided.) |

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).
