Swaysome

This binary helps you configure sway to work a bit more like Awesome. This currently means workspaces that are name-spaced on a per-screen basis.

It should also work with i3, but this is untested.

Usage

Build and install the swaysome binary somewhere in your $PATH with something like: git clone https://git.hya.sk/skia/swaysome cd swaysome cargo install --path .

Then create the file (and the directory if needed) "~/.config/sway/config.d/swaysome.conf" and paste this inside: ```

Change focus between workspaces

unbindsym $mod+1 unbindsym $mod+2 unbindsym $mod+3 unbindsym $mod+4 unbindsym $mod+5 unbindsym $mod+6 unbindsym $mod+7 unbindsym $mod+8 unbindsym $mod+9 unbindsym $mod+0 bindsym $mod+1 exec "swaysome focus 1" bindsym $mod+2 exec "swaysome focus 2" bindsym $mod+3 exec "swaysome focus 3" bindsym $mod+4 exec "swaysome focus 4" bindsym $mod+5 exec "swaysome focus 5" bindsym $mod+6 exec "swaysome focus 6" bindsym $mod+7 exec "swaysome focus 7" bindsym $mod+8 exec "swaysome focus 8" bindsym $mod+9 exec "swaysome focus 9" bindsym $mod+0 exec "swaysome focus 0"

Move containers between workspaces

unbindsym $mod+Shift+1 unbindsym $mod+Shift+2 unbindsym $mod+Shift+3 unbindsym $mod+Shift+4 unbindsym $mod+Shift+5 unbindsym $mod+Shift+6 unbindsym $mod+Shift+7 unbindsym $mod+Shift+8 unbindsym $mod+Shift+9 unbindsym $mod+Shift+0 bindsym $mod+Shift+1 exec "swaysome move 1" bindsym $mod+Shift+2 exec "swaysome move 2" bindsym $mod+Shift+3 exec "swaysome move 3" bindsym $mod+Shift+4 exec "swaysome move 4" bindsym $mod+Shift+5 exec "swaysome move 5" bindsym $mod+Shift+6 exec "swaysome move 6" bindsym $mod+Shift+7 exec "swaysome move 7" bindsym $mod+Shift+8 exec "swaysome move 8" bindsym $mod+Shift+9 exec "swaysome move 9" bindsym $mod+Shift+0 exec "swaysome move 0"

Move focused container to next output

bindsym $mod+o exec "swaysome next_output"

Move focused container to previous output

bindsym $mod+Shift+o exec "swaysome prev_output"

Init workspaces for every screen

exec "swaysome init 1" ```

Finally append your sway configuration with this: include ~/.config/sway/config.d/*.conf

You should end-up with workspaces from 1 to 0, prefixed with a screen index, giving you workspace 01 on the first screen, and workspace 11 on the second one, both accessible with shortcut $mod+1.

The init command simply walks through every screen to initialize a prefixed workspace. It does it backwards so that you end-up focused on the first screen, as usual.
