We currently track the focus of a seat in two ways: we use a list called focus_stack to track the order in which nodes have been focused, with the first node representing what's currently focused, and we use a variable called has_focus to indicate whether anything has focus--i.e. whether we should actually treat that first node as focused at any given time. In a number of places, we treat has_focus as implying that a focused node exists. If it's true, we attempt to dereference the return value of seat_get_focus(), our helper function for getting the first node in focus_list, with no further checks. But this isn't quite correct with the current implementation of seat_get_focus(): not only does it return NULL when has_focus is false, it also returns NULL when focus_stack contains no items. In most cases, focus_stack never becomes empty and so this doesn't matter at all. Since focus_stack stores a history of focused nodes, we rarely remove nodes from it. The exception to this is when a node itself goes away. In that case, we call seat_node_destroy() to remove it from focus_stack and free it. But we don't unset has_focus if we've removed the final node! This lets us get into a state where has_focus is true but seat_get_focus() returns NULL, leading to a segfault when we try to dereference it. Fix the issue both by updating has_focus in seat_node_destroy() and by adding an assertion in seat_get_focus() that ensures focus_stack and has_focus are in sync, which will make it easier to track down similar issues in the future. Fixes #6395. [1] There's some discussion in #1585 from when this was implemented about whether has_focus is actually necessary; it's possible we could remove it entirely, but for the moment this is the architecture we have.

Installation
From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.
Compiling from Source
Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
- scdoc (optional: man pages) *
- git (optional: version info) *
* Compile-time dep
Run these commands:
meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install
On systems without logind nor seatd, 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).
