Post install

• Keyboard layout in: ~/.config/sway/config.d/input
• Screen settings in: ~/.config/sway/config.d/output

To-Do

• Find bugs and fix
• Screenshot menu, does not center well, with with width 100 - might just move it to the right
• Make qt themeing guide
• Write WIKI

Tutorial for sway-wm settings:

• Background handled by swaybg
• Gtk3 theme handled by lxappearance
• Filebrowser = Thunar
• Default Terminal-Emulator = XFCE4-Terminal and/or Termite
• Text-Editor = xed

Main shortcuts:

[mod] key is set to the winkey (or should i call it linkey?)

• [mod]+enter = open terminal (XFCE4-Terminal and/or Termite)
• [mod]+o = open Browser (firefox)
• [mod]+n = open File Manager (thunar)
• [mod]+d = app menu (wofi)
• [mod]+q = close focused app [kill]
• (Shift) Print-key = screenshot/bring up screenshot menu

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.

• tabbed: so each new window will open fullscreen as a tab, you can change between window-tabs with mouse or shortcut: [mod]+Left focus left (left arrow key) [mod]+Right focus right (right arrow key)
