The place where we test and add any new features before pushing to the main repository! Naturally it will mean things will be buggy so use at risk!
## What is different or to be different?
- FInd a way to make the fonts on waybar look the same....Might maunally add a patched font instead....
- Find a way to make the tray not look weird when it's empty
- Anything else anyone would like and makes sense!

Main shortcuts: ~/.config/sway/cheatsheet
[mod] key is set to the winkey (or should i call it linkey?)
- [mod]+Return = open floating terminal (XFCE4-Terminal)
- [mod]+(Shift)+Return = open fixed terminal (Termite)
- [mod]+o = open Browser (firefox)

## Tiling:
Is set to default for swaywm and can be changed to:
- stacking: Only the focused window in the container is displayed. You get a list of windows at the top of the container.
- [mod]+s (Vertical List)
- [mod]+w (Horizontal List)
- navigate lists with [mod]+(Arrow Keys)
