Setting up the sway window manager on Fedora
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
![][1]
|
||
|
||
Sometimes during a critical activity, working with overlapping windows becomes counterproductive. You might find a tiled window manager like sway to be a good alternative.
|
||
|
||
Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor. It has the advantage of compatibility with an existing [i3 configuration][2], so you can use it to replace i3 and use Wayland as the display protocol.
|
||
|
||
### Installing sway
|
||
|
||
To setup sway, open a new terminal and type the following command
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo dnf install sway
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Once the installation is completed, log out of your user session. At the login screen, select your user account. Before you enter your password, choose _Sway_ from the menu, as shown in the following image.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
After login, your desktop looks like this:
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Configuration
|
||
|
||
To begin configuration, copy the default config into your user directory. Do that using the following commands.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
mkdir -p .config/sway
|
||
cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Sway is highly configurable. It’s suggested you read the project’s [wiki page][5] to fine tune your settings. For example, to change the keyboard layout, open a new terminal and run this command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ swaymsg -t get_inputs
|
||
[george@mrwhite ~]$ swaymsg -t get_inputs
|
||
Input device: VirtualPS/2 VMware VMMouse
|
||
Type: Mouse
|
||
Identifier: 2:19:VirtualPS/2_VMware_VMMouse
|
||
Product ID: 19
|
||
Vendor ID: 2
|
||
Libinput Send Events: enabled
|
||
Input device: VirtualPS/2 VMware VMMouse
|
||
Type: Mouse
|
||
Identifier: 2:19:VirtualPS/2_VMware_VMMouse
|
||
Product ID: 19
|
||
Vendor ID: 2
|
||
Libinput Send Events: enabled
|
||
Input device: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
|
||
Type: Keyboard
|
||
Identifier: 1:1:AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard
|
||
Product ID: 1
|
||
Vendor ID: 1
|
||
Active Keyboard Layout: Portuguese (Brazil)
|
||
Libinput Send Events: enabled
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Copy the identifier keyboard code. Open your _~/.config/sway/config file_ with your text editor and edit the configuration accordingly:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
## Input configuration
|
||
input "1:1:AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard" {
|
||
xkb_layout br
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Save the settings. To reload the configurations, press **Super+Shift+c**. (Typically the **Super** key is mapped to the logo key on a PC.)
|
||
|
||
### Waybar
|
||
|
||
Sway’s default status bar may not have all the functions you want. Fortunately Waybar is a good replacement. To install, run the follow commands. _(Note, however, that COPR is not an official Fedora repository and not supported by the Fedora Project.)_
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo dnf copr enable alebastr/waybar
|
||
sudo dnf install waybar
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Open your _~/.config/sway/config_ file. Edit the bar configuration like this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
bar {
|
||
swaybar_command waybar
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Reload the configuration and you’ll now see the waybar in action, as shown below.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
To customize the waybar, you can visit this [wiki page][7] for more details and ideas.
|
||
|
||
### Alacritty
|
||
|
||
Alacritty is a terminal emulator that uses the GPU for rendering, and a good replacement for _urxvt_. To install run the following lines
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo dnf copr enable pschyska/alacritty
|
||
sudo dnf install alacritty
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To enable it as default terminal emulator edit your _~/.config/sway/config_. Change this line:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
set $term urxvt256c-ml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
set $term alacritty
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Reload your configuration.
|
||
|
||
When you open a new terminal with **Super+C**, alacritty will be open as seen in the following image:
