Sway-Config

My current SwayWM Setup for Arch Linux. It uses bash Skripts and systemd-utilities. If you want to use it without them, help me improve it. If you just want a full setup for sway-desktop, have a look at nwg-shell at first.

Includes:

• customizable scripts for menu, screenshots, gammastep and other functions
• many bindsyms (neo2 keyboard layout)
• already set up to support xwayland and wine (for wine also see this issue)

Installation

• install modules
• Place the files in .config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
• Make shell-scripts executable chmod u+x .config/sway/*.sh
• edit the .config/sway/gammastep.ini to your timezone
• edit the Output and Input Configuration in .config/sway/config, if neccessary
• set Environment
• start sway
• further information can be found in the sway wiki
