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 may also work with i3, but this is untested.

swaysome is compatible with sworkstyle.

Usage

If you have Rust installed, then you can just cargo install swaysome and you're good to go.

Otherwise, you may grab a pre-built binary from the CI and put it in your $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.
