I ain't so lucky. Could you give me to take a look at your configuration files, tied with sway including bar configs.

Do you have tray in your system? How it look like?

Window decorations in a tiling WM?

Any shortcut that used to work with the Alt L key in Firefox under Xorg no longer works. Any idea how to solve this?
I am not using the Mod1 conf in my sway config so this is not overwritten.

Is there any way to configure Logitech Marble Trackball to emulate scroll under sway?

I've been looking for it for quite a while, but no luck.

the libinput method should translate to the sway configuration.

https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/ … FIGURATION

input <identifier> scroll_button <button#>
input <identifier> scroll_method on_button_down

This worked perfectly, thank you!

Looked at sway after sometime, and it is working much better. Thanks. Now I am using sway as my default WM.
Few questions.
1. How to remove window titlebars, "default_border none | pixel 0" doesn't seem to work.
2. ibus works, but there is no popup indicating language change. I use it mainly for Gujarat/English switch.
3. How to find out window class, for assigning them to different workspaces.
Thanks in advance.

You cannot use none and pixel at the same time. Try "default_border none" or "default_border pixel 0".

swaymsg -t get_tree

Actually I tried both and none worked.

I have "default_border pixel 1" in my config and it works. But maybe you have a titlebar client side?

Docbroke · 2019-05-28 04:09:53

I don't know. I am having same configuration in i3 and that works.
About WM_Class, my terminal "termite" windows in sway runs without any class. They have "termite" as app_id but it is common to all termite windows. I use "assign" to have some termite windows open floating on current workspace while, other on first workspace only. This works with i3 as I am able to assign different class using example like "termite --class=ranger". On sway all these windows are without any class and always open on either current workspace or if I use app_id they all open on first workspace.

Solved by using "title" instead of class. I am able to specify title using termite --title=<title>.

I had a problem just like that: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3653
id (and class?) were renamed IIRC.

edit: I misread you: you're already using app_id: you know about that then.

I am using keyboard shortcuts to change language as it appears more reliable.

bindsym $mod+g exec ibus engine m17n:gu:phonetic
bindsym $mod+e exec ibus engine xkb:us::eng

where can setup rxvt-unicode font size? too small.

once · 2019-07-04 09:20:30

follow ibus wiki,
set export{...} to .bashrc but it against dmenu.
so, set to .xprofile or .profile and did not work, any idea?

ok, replace by bemenu, done.

once · 2019-09-12 02:59:13

terminology can start from a tty, but not from bemenu under sway.
which cause problem?
error*
Xlib: extension "DPMS" missing on display ":0"

"swaybg" needs to be installed (per the wiki). Then I failed to note that "output" is not a shell command. Instead "sway output eDP-1 pos 0 0 res 1920x1080" did the job for me.
