[SOLVED] swhkd on sway doesn't work

As per the README, I have put those in my sway config, with .config/swhkd/swhkdrc in place. 
swhks and pkexec swhkd both seems to run in background, but keybinds don't work.

I have no issues with sxhkd in i3, unlike swhkd on sway. Tried passing -c /path/to/config but no luck.

Re: [SOLVED] swhkd on sway doesn't work

It seemed like swhkd relies on pkexec, which doesn't seem to grab env variables. Hence can't pull home configuration files. 
Manually providing the absolute config path worked btw.
