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
