# 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](https://nwg-piotr.github.io/nwg-shell/) at first.

### Includes:
- customizable scripts for menu, screenshots, gammastep and other functions
- many bindsyms ([neo2](https://www.neo-layout.org/) keyboard layout)
- already set up to support xwayland and wine (for wine also see [this issue](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#Mouse_not_working_in_WINE_applications))

### 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](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Running-programs-natively-under-wayland)
