* Ensure that modifier keys are identified even when the next key does not produce a keysym. This requires that modifier change tracking be done for each sway_shortcut_state. * Permit regular and --release shortcuts on the same key combination. Distinct bindings are identified for press and release cases; note that the release binding needs to be identified for both key press and key release events. * Maintain ascending sort order for the shortcut state list, and keep track of the number of pressed key ids, for simpler (and hence faster) searching of the list of key bindings. * Move binding duplicate detection into get_active_binding to avoid duplicating error messages. |

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.
If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

On systems with logind, you need to set a few caps on the binary:
sudo setcap "cap_sys_ptrace,cap_sys_tty_config=eip" /usr/local/bin/sway
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
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).
