NAME
       sway - configuration file and commands

DESCRIPTION
       A sway configuration file is a list of sway commands that are executed
       by sway on startup.  These commands usually consist of setting your
       preferences and setting key bindings. An example config is likely
       present in /etc/sway/config for you to check out.

       Lines in the configuration file might be extended through multiple
       lines by adding a '\' character at the end of line. e.g.:

           bindsym Shift+XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec \
                pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -1%

       Commands can also be given as a block in the form command { <subcom‐
       mands...> }. Anything before the opening { will be prepended to the
       lines inside the block. For example:

           output eDP-1 {
                background ~/wallpaper.png fill
                resolution 1920x1080
           }

       is identical to

           output eDP-1 background ~/wallpaper.png fill
           output eDP-1 resolution 1920x1080

       These commands can be executed in your config file, via swaymsg(1), or
       via the bindsym command.

COMMAND CONVENTIONS
       Commands are split into several arguments using spaces. You can enclose
       arguments with quotation marks ("..." or '...') to add spaces to a sin‐
       gle argument. You may also run several commands in order by separating
       each with , or ;. Criteria is retained across commands separated by ,,
       but will be reset (and allow for new criteria, if desired) for commands
       separated by a ;.

       Throughout the documentation, | is used to distinguish between argu‐
       ments for which you may only select one. [...] is used for optional ar‐
       guments, and <...> for arguments where you are expected to supply some
       value.

COMMANDS
       This section only lists general commands. For input and output com‐
       mands, refer to sway-input(5) and sway-output(5).

       The following commands may only be used in the configuration file.

       bar [<bar-id>] <bar-subcommands...>
           For details on bar subcommands, see sway-bar(5).

       default_orientation horizontal|vertical|auto
           Sets the default container layout for tiled containers.

       include <path>
           Includes another file from path. path can be either a full path or
           a path relative to the parent config, and expands shell syntax (see
           wordexp(3) for details). The same include file can only be included
           once; subsequent attempts will be ignored.

       swaybg_command <command>
           Executes custom background command. Default is swaybg. Refer to
           sway-output(5) for more information.

           It can be disabled by setting the command to a single dash:
           swaybg_command -

       swaynag_command <command>
           Executes custom command for swaynag. Default is swaynag. Additional
           arguments may be appended to the end. This should only be used to
           either direct sway to call swaynag from a custom path or to provide
           additional arguments. This should be placed at the top of the con‐
           fig for the best results.

           It can be disabled by setting the command to a single dash: sway‐
           nag_command -

       workspace_layout default|stacking|tabbed
           Specifies the initial layout for new containers in an empty
           workspace.

       xwayland enable|disable|force
           Enables or disables Xwayland support, which allows X11 applications
           to be used. enable will lazily load Xwayland so Xwayland will not
           be launched until the first client attempts to connect. In some
           cases, such as slower machines, it may be desirable to have Xway‐
           land started immediately by using force instead of enable.

       The following commands cannot be used directly in the configuration
       file. They are expected to be used with bindsym or at runtime through
       swaymsg(1).

       border none|normal|csd|pixel [<n>]
           Set border style for focused window. normal includes a border of
           thickness n and a title bar. pixel is a border without title bar n
           pixels thick. Default is normal with border thickness 2. csd is
           short for client-side-decorations, which allows the client to draw
           its own decorations.

       border toggle
           Cycles through the available border styles.

       exit
           Exit sway and end your Wayland session.

       floating enable|disable|toggle
           Make focused view floating, non-floating, or the opposite of what
           it is now.

       <criteria> focus
           Moves focus to the container that matches the specified criteria.

       focus up|right|down|left
           Moves focus to the next container in the specified direction.

       focus prev|next [sibling]
           Moves focus to the previous or next container in the current lay‐
           out. By default, the last active child of the newly focused con‐
           tainer will be focused. The sibling option indicates not to immedi‐
           ately focus a child of the container.

       focus child
           Moves focus to the last-focused child of the focused container.

       focus parent
           Moves focus to the parent of the focused container.

       focus output up|right|down|left
           Moves focus to the next output in the specified direction.

       focus output <name>
           Moves focus to the named output.

       focus tiling
           Sets focus to the last focused tiling container.

       focus floating
           Sets focus to the last focused floating container.

       focus mode_toggle
           Moves focus between the floating and tiled layers.

       fullscreen [enable|disable|toggle] [global]
           Makes focused view fullscreen, non-fullscreen, or the opposite of
           what it is now. If no argument is given, it does the same as tog‐
           gle. If global is specified, the view will be fullscreen across all
           outputs.

       gaps inner|outer|horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left all|current
       set|plus|minus|toggle <amount>
           Changes the inner or outer gaps for either all workspaces or the
           current workspace. outer gaps can be altered per side with top,
           right, bottom, and left or per direction with horizontal and verti‐
           cal.

       inhibit_idle focus|fullscreen|open|none|visible
           Set/unset an idle inhibitor for the view. focus will inhibit idle
           when the view is focused by any seat. fullscreen will inhibit idle
           when the view is fullscreen (or a descendant of a fullscreen con‐
           tainer) and is visible. open will inhibit idle until the view is
           closed (or the inhibitor is unset/changed). visible will inhibit
           idle when the view is visible on any output. none will remove any
           existing idle inhibitor for the view.

           This can also be used with criteria to set an idle inhibitor for
           any existing view or with for_window to set idle inhibitors for fu‐
           ture views.

       layout default|splith|splitv|stacking|tabbed
           Sets the layout mode of the focused container.

           When using the stacking layout, only the focused window in the con‐
           tainer is displayed, with the opened windows' list on the top of
           the container.

           The tabbed layout is similar to stacking, but the windows’ list is
           vertically split.

       layout toggle [split|all]
           Cycles the layout mode of the focused container though a preset
           list of layouts. If no argument is given, then it cycles through
           stacking, tabbed and the last split layout. If split is given, then
           it cycles through splith and splitv. If all is given, then it cy‐
           cles through every layout.

       layout toggle [split|tabbed|stacking|splitv|splith]
       [split|tabbed|stacking|splitv|splith]...
           Cycles the layout mode of the focused container through a list of
           layouts.

       max_render_time off|<msec>
           Controls when the relevant application is told to render this win‐
           dow, as a positive number of milliseconds before the next time sway
           composites the output. A smaller number leads to fresher rendered
           frames being composited by sway and lower perceived input latency,
           but if set too low, the application may not finish rendering before
           sway composites the output, leading to delayed frames.

           When set to off, the relevant application is told to render this
           window immediately after display refresh. How much time is left for
           rendering before sway composites the output at that point depends
           on the output max_render_time setting.

           To set this up for optimal latency:
           1.   Set up output max_render_time (see sway-output(5)).
           2.   Put the target application in full-screen and have it continu‐
               ously render something.
           3.   Start by setting max_render_time 1. If the application drops
               frames, increment by 1.

           This setting only has an effect if a per-output max_render_time is
           in effect on the output the window is currently on. See sway-out‐
           put(5) for further details.

       move left|right|up|down [<px> px]
           Moves the focused container in the direction specified. The op‐
           tional px argument specifies how many pixels to move the container.
           If unspecified, the default is 10 pixels. Pixels are ignored when
           moving tiled containers.

       move [absolute] position <pos_x> [px|ppt] <pos_y> [px|ppt]
           Moves the focused container to the specified position in the
           workspace. The position can be specified in pixels or percentage
           points, omitting the unit defaults to pixels. If absolute is used,
           the position is relative to all outputs. absolute can not be used
           with percentage points.

       move [absolute] position center
           Moves the focused container to be centered on the workspace. If ab‐
           solute is used, it is moved to the center of all outputs.

       move position cursor|mouse|pointer
           Moves the focused container to be centered on the cursor.

       move [container|window] [to] mark <mark>
           Moves the focused container to the specified mark.

       move [--no-auto-back-and-forth] [container|window] [to] workspace [num‐
       ber] <name>
           Moves the focused container to the specified workspace. The string
           number is optional and is used to match a workspace with the same
           number, even if it has a different name.

       move [container|window] [to] workspace prev|next|current
           Moves the focused container to the previous, next or current
           workspace on this output, or if no workspaces remain, the previous
           or next output.

       move [container|window] [to] workspace prev_on_output|next_on_output
           Moves the focused container to the previous or next workspace on
           this output, wrapping around if already at the first or last
           workspace.

       move [container|window] [to] workspace back_and_forth
           Moves the focused container to previously focused workspace.

       move [container|window] [to] output <name-or-id>|current
           Moves the focused container to the specified output.

       move [container|window] [to] output up|right|down|left
           Moves the focused container to next output in the specified direc‐
           tion.

       move [container|window] [to] scratchpad
           Moves the focused container to the scratchpad.

       move workspace [to] output <name-or-id>|current
           Moves the focused workspace to the specified output.

       move workspace to [output] <name-or-id>|current
           Moves the focused workspace to the specified output.

       move workspace [to] output up|right|down|left
           Moves the focused workspace to next output in the specified direc‐
           tion.

       move workspace to [output] up|right|down|left
           Moves the focused workspace to next output in the specified direc‐
           tion.

       nop <comment>
           A no operation command that can be used to override default behav‐
           iour. The optional comment argument is ignored, but logged for de‐
           bugging purposes.

       reload
           Reloads the sway config file and applies any changes. The config
           file is located at path specified by the command line arguments
           when started, otherwise according to the priority stated in
           sway(1).

       rename workspace [<old_name>] to <new_name>
           Rename either <old_name> or the focused workspace to the <new_name>

       resize shrink|grow width|height [<amount> [px|ppt]]
           Resizes the currently focused container by amount, specified in
           pixels or percentage points. If the units are omitted, floating
           containers are resized in px and tiled containers by ppt. amount
           will default to 10 if omitted.

       resize set height <height> [px|ppt]
           Sets the height of the container to height, specified in pixels or
           percentage points. If the units are omitted, floating containers
           are resized in px and tiled containers by ppt. If height is 0, the
           container will not be resized.

       resize set [width] <width> [px|ppt]
           Sets the width of the container to width, specified in pixels or
           percentage points. If the units are omitted, floating containers
           are resized in px and tiled containers by ppt. If width is 0, the
           container will not be resized.

       resize set [width] <width> [px|ppt] [height] <height> [px|ppt]
           Sets the width and height of the container to width and height,
           specified in pixels or percentage points. If the units are omitted,
           floating containers are resized in px and tiled containers by ppt.
           If width or height is 0, the container will not be resized on that
           axis.

       scratchpad show
           Shows a window from the scratchpad. Repeatedly using this command
           will cycle through the windows in the scratchpad.

       shortcuts_inhibitor enable|disable
           Enables or disables the ability of clients to inhibit keyboard
           shortcuts for a view. This is primarily useful for virtualization
           and remote desktop software. It affects either the currently fo‐
           cused view or a set of views selected by criteria. Subcommand dis‐
           able additionally deactivates any active inhibitors for the given
           view(s). Criteria are particularly useful with the for_window com‐
           mand to configure a class of views differently from the per-seat
           defaults established by the seat subcommand of the same name. See
           sway-input(5) for more ways to affect inhibitors.

       split vertical|v|horizontal|h|none|n|toggle|t
           Splits the current container, vertically or horizontally. When none
           is specified, the effect of a previous split is undone if the cur‐
           rent container is the only child of a split parent. When toggle is
           specified, the current container is split opposite to the parent
           container's layout.

       splith
           Equivalent to split horizontal

       splitv
           Equivalent to split vertical

       splitt
           Equivalent to split toggle

       sticky enable|disable|toggle
           "Sticks" a floating window to the current output so that it shows
           up on all workspaces.

       swap container with id|con_id|mark <arg>
           Swaps the position, geometry, and fullscreen status of two contain‐
           ers. The first container can be selected either by criteria or fo‐
           cus. The second container can be selected by id, con_id, or mark.
           id can only be used with xwayland views. If the first container has
           focus, it will retain focus unless it is moved to a different
           workspace or the second container becomes fullscreen on the same
           workspace as the first container. In either of those cases, the
           second container will gain focus.

       title_format <format>
           Sets the format of window titles. The following placeholders may be
           used:

               %title - The title supplied by the window
                         %app_id - The wayland app ID (applicable to wayland
               windows only)
                         %class - The X11 classname (applicable to xwayland
               windows only)
                         %instance - The X11 instance (applicable to xwayland
               windows only)
                         %shell - The protocol the window is using (typically
               xwayland or
                   xdg_shell)

           This command is typically used with for_window criteria. For exam‐
           ple:

               for_window [title="."] title_format "<b>%title</b> (%app_id)"

           Note that markup requires pango to be enabled via the font command.

           The default format is "%title".

       The following commands may be used either in the configuration file or
       at runtime.

       assign <criteria> [→] [workspace] [number] <workspace>
           Assigns views matching criteria (see CRITERIA for details) to
           workspace. The → (U+2192) is optional and cosmetic. This command is
           equivalent to:

               for_window <criteria> move container to workspace <workspace>

       assign <criteria> [→] output left|right|up|down|<name>
           Assigns views matching criteria (see CRITERIA for details) to the
           specified output. The → (U+2192) is optional and cosmetic. This
           command is equivalent to:

               for_window <criteria> move container to output <output>

       bindsym [--whole-window] [--border] [--exclude-titlebar] [--release]
       [--locked] [--to-code] [--input-device=<device>] [--no-warn] [--no-re‐
       peat] [Group<1-4>+]<key combo> <command>
           Binds key combo to execute the sway command command when pressed.
           You may use XKB key names here (wev(1) is a good tool for discover‐
           ing these). With the flag --release, the command is executed when
           the key combo is released. If input-device is given, the binding
           will only be executed for that input device and will be executed
           instead of any binding that is generic to all devices. If a group
           number is given, then the binding will only be available for that
           group. By default, if you overwrite a binding, swaynag will give
           you a warning. To silence this, use the --no-warn flag.

           Unless the flag --locked is set, the command will not be run when a
           screen locking program is active. If there is a matching binding
           with and without --locked, the one with will be preferred when
           locked and the one without will be preferred when unlocked. If
           there are matching bindings and one has both --input-device and
           --locked and the other has neither, the former will be preferred
           even when unlocked.

           Unless the flag --inhibited is set, the command will not be run
           when a keyboard shortcuts inhibitor is active for the currently fo‐
           cused window. Such inhibitors are usually requested by remote desk‐
           top and virtualization software to enable the user to send keyboard
           shortcuts to the remote or virtual session. The --inhibited flag
           allows one to define bindings which will be exempt from pass-
           through to such software. The same preference logic as for --locked
           applies.

           Unless the flag --no-repeat is set, the command will be run repeat‐
           edly when the key is held, according to the repeat settings speci‐
           fied in the input configuration.

           Bindings to keysyms are layout-dependent. This can be changed with
           the --to-code flag. In this case, the keysyms will be translated
           into the corresponding keycodes in the first configured layout.

           Mouse bindings operate on the container under the cursor instead of
           the container that has focus. Mouse buttons can either be specified
           in the form button[1-9] or by using the name of the event code (ex
           BTN_LEFT or BTN_RIGHT). For the former option, the buttons will be
           mapped to their values in X11 (1=left, 2=middle, 3=right, 4=scroll
           up, 5=scroll down, 6=scroll left, 7=scroll right, 8=back, 9=for‐
           ward). For the latter option, you can find the event names using
           libinput debug-events.

           The priority for matching bindings is as follows: input device,
           group, and locked state.

           --whole-window, --border, and --exclude-titlebar are mouse-only op‐
           tions which affect the region in which the mouse bindings can be
           triggered.  By default, mouse bindings are only triggered when over
           the title bar. With the --border option, the border of the window
           will be included in this region. With the --whole-window option,
           the cursor can be anywhere over a window including the title, bor‐
           der, and content. --exclude-titlebar can be used in conjunction
           with any other option to specify that the titlebar should be ex‐
           cluded from the region of consideration.

           If --whole-window is given, the command can be triggered when the
           cursor is over an empty workspace. Using a mouse binding over a
           layer surface's exclusive region is not currently possible.

           Example:
                     # Execute firefox when alt, shift, and f are pressed together
                     bindsym Mod1+Shift+f exec firefox

           bindcode [--whole-window] [--border] [--exclude-titlebar] [--re‐
           lease] [--locked] [--input-device=<device>] [--no-warn]
           [Group<1-4>+]<code> <command> is also available for binding with
           key/button codes instead of key/button names.

       bindswitch [--locked] [--no-warn] [--reload] <switch>:<state> <command>
           Binds <switch> to execute the sway command command on state
           changes. Supported switches are lid (laptop lid) and tablet (tablet
           mode) switches. Valid values for state are on, off and toggle.
           These switches are on when the device lid is shut and when tablet
           mode is active respectively. toggle is also supported to run a com‐
           mand both when the switch is toggled on or off.

           Unless the flag --locked is set, the command will not be run when a
           screen locking program is active. If there is a matching binding
           with and without --locked, the one with will be preferred when
           locked and the one without will be preferred when unlocked.

           If the --reload flag is given, the binding will also be executed
           when the config is reloaded. toggle bindings will not be executed
           on reload. The --locked flag will operate as normal so if the con‐
           fig is reloaded while locked and --locked is not given, the binding
           will not be executed.

           By default, if you overwrite a binding, swaynag will give you a
           warning. To silence this, use the --no-warn flag.

           Example:
                     # Show the virtual keyboard when tablet mode is entered.
                     bindswitch tablet:on busctl call --user sm.puri.OSK0 /sm/puri/OSK0 sm.puri.OSK0 SetVisible b true

                     # Log a message when the laptop lid is opened or closed.
                     bindswitch lid:toggle exec echo "Lid moved"

       bindgesture [--exact] [--input-device=<device>] [--no-warn] <ges‐
       ture>[:<fingers>][:directions] <command>
           Binds gesture to execute the sway command command when detected.
           Currently supports the hold, pinch or swipe gesture. Optionally can
           be limited to bind to a certain number of fingers or, for a pinch
           or swipe gesture, to certain directions.

       ┌──────┬─────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
       │type  │ fingers │ direction                                           │

       │hold  │  1 - 5  │ none                                                │
       ├──────┼─────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
       │swipe │  3 - 5  │ up, down, left, right                               │
       ├──────┼─────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
       │pinch │  2 - 5  │ all above + inward, outward, clockwise, counter‐    │
       │      │         │ clockwise                                           │
       └──────┴─────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
           The fingers can be limited to any sensible number or left empty to
           accept any finger counts. Valid directions are up, down, left and
           right, as well as inward, outward, clockwise, counterclockwise for
           the pinch gesture. Multiple directions can be combined by a plus.

           If a input-device is given, the binding will only be executed for
           that input device and will be executed instead of any binding that
           is generic to all devices. By default, if you overwrite a binding,
           swaynag will give you a warning. To silence this, use the --no-warn
           flag.

           The --exact flag can be used to ensure a binding only matches when
           exactly all specified directions are matched and nothing more. If
           there is matching binding with --exact, it will be preferred.

           The priority for matching bindings is as follows: input device,
           then exact matches followed by matches with the highest number of
           matching directions.

           Gestures executed while the pointer is above a bar are not handled
           by sway. See the respective documentation, e.g. bindgesture in
           sway-bar(5).

           Example:
                     # Allow switching between workspaces with left and right swipes
                     bindgesture swipe:right workspace prev
                     bindgesture swipe:left workspace next

                     # Allow container movements by pinching them
                     bindgesture pinch:inward+up move up
                     bindgesture pinch:inward+down move down
                     bindgesture pinch:inward+left move left
                     bindgesture pinch:inward+right move right

       client.background <color>
           This command is ignored and is only present for i3 compatibility.

       client.<class> <border> <background> <text> [<indicator> [<child_bor‐
       der>]]
           Configures the color of window borders and title bars. The first
           three colors are required. When omitted indicator will use a sane
           default and child_border will use the color set for background.
           Colors may be specified in hex, either as #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA.

           The available classes are:

           client.focused
               The window that has focus.

           client.focused_inactive
               The most recently focused view within a container which is not
               focused.

           client.focused_tab_title
               A view that has focused descendant container. Tab or stack con‐
               tainer title that is the parent of the focused container but is
               not directly focused. Defaults to focused_inactive if not spec‐
               ified and does not use the indicator and child_border colors.

           client.placeholder
               Ignored (present for i3 compatibility).

           client.unfocused
               A view that does not have focus.

           client.urgent
               A view with an urgency hint. Note: Native Wayland windows do
               not support urgency. Urgency only works for Xwayland windows.

           The meaning of each color is:

           border
               The border around the title bar.

           background
               The background of the title bar.

           text
               The text color of the title bar.

           indicator
               The color used to indicate where a new view will open. In a
               tiled container, this would paint the right border of the cur‐
               rent view if a new view would be opened to the right.

           child_border
               The border around the view itself.

       The default colors are:

       default_border normal|none|pixel [<n>]
           Set default border style for new tiled windows.

       default_floating_border normal|none|pixel [<n>]
           Set default border style for new floating windows. This only ap‐
           plies to windows that are spawned in floating mode, not windows
           that become floating afterwards.

       exec <shell command>
           Executes shell command with sh.

       exec_always <shell command>
           Like exec, but the shell command will be executed again after
           reload.

       floating_maximum_size <width> x <height>
           Specifies the maximum size of floating windows. -1 x -1 removes the
           upper limit. The default is 0 x 0, which will use the width and
           height of the entire output layout as the maximums

       floating_minimum_size <width> x <height>
           Specifies the minimum size of floating windows. The default is 75 x
           50.

       floating_modifier <modifier> [normal|inverse]
           When the modifier key is held down, you may hold left click to move
           windows, and right click to resize them. Setting modifier to none
           disables this feature. If inverse is specified, left click is used
           for resizing and right click for moving.

       focus_follows_mouse yes|no|always
           If set to yes, moving your mouse over a window will focus that win‐
           dow. If set to always, the window under the cursor will always be
           focused, even after switching between workspaces.

       focus_on_window_activation smart|urgent|focus|none
           This option determines what to do when a client requests window ac‐
           tivation. If set to urgent, the urgent state will be set for that
           window. If set to focus, the window will become focused. If set to
           smart, the window will become focused only if it is already visi‐
           ble, otherwise the urgent state will be set. Default is urgent.

       focus_wrapping yes|no|force|workspace
           This option determines what to do when attempting to focus over the
           edge of a container. If set to no, the focused container will re‐
           tain focus, if there are no other containers in the direction. If
           set to yes, focus will be wrapped to the opposite edge of the con‐
           tainer, if there are no other containers in the direction. If set
           to force, focus will be wrapped to the opposite edge of the con‐
           tainer, even if there are other containers in the direction. If set
           to workspace, focus will wrap like in the yes case and additionally
           wrap when moving outside of workspaces boundaries. Default is yes.

       font [pango:]<font>
           Sets font to use for the title bars. To enable support for pango
           markup, preface the font name with pango:. For example, monospace
           10 is the default font. To enable support for pango markup,
           pango:monospace 10 should be used instead. Regardless of whether
           pango markup is enabled, font should be specified as a pango font
           description. For more information on pango font descriptions, see
           https://docs.gtk.org/Pango/type_func.FontDescrip‐
           tion.from_string.html#description

       force_display_urgency_hint <timeout> [ms]
           If an application on another workspace sets an urgency hint,
           switching to this workspace may lead to immediate focus of the ap‐
           plication, which also means the window decoration color would be
           immediately reset to client.focused. This may make it unnecessarily
           hard to tell which window originally raised the event. This option
           allows one to set a timeout in ms to delay the urgency hint reset.

       titlebar_border_thickness <thickness>
           Thickness of the titlebar border in pixels

       titlebar_padding <horizontal> [<vertical>]
           Padding of the text in the titlebar. horizontal value affects hori‐
           zontal padding of the text while vertical value affects vertical
           padding (space above and below text). Padding includes titlebar
           borders so their value should be greater than titlebar_bor‐
           der_thickness. If vertical value is not specified it is set to the
           horizontal value.

       for_window <criteria> <command>
           Whenever a window that matches criteria appears, run list of com‐
           mands. See CRITERIA for more details.

       gaps inner|outer|horizontal|vertical|top|right|bottom|left <amount>
           Sets default amount pixels of inner or outer gap, where the inner
           affects spacing around each view and outer affects the spacing
           around each workspace. Outer gaps are in addition to inner gaps. To
           reduce or remove outer gaps, outer gaps can be set to a negative
           value. outer gaps can also be specified per side with top, right,
           bottom, and left or per direction with horizontal and vertical.

           This affects new workspaces only, and is used when the workspace
           doesn't have its own gaps settings (see: workspace <ws> gaps ...).

       hide_edge_borders [--i3] none|vertical|horizon‐
       tal|both|smart|smart_no_gaps
           Hides window borders adjacent to the screen edges. Default is none.
           The --i3 option enables i3-compatible behavior to hide the title
           bar on tabbed and stacked containers with one child. The
           smart|smart_no_gaps options are equivalent to setting smart_borders
           smart|no_gaps and hide_edge_borders none.

       input <input_device> <input-subcommands...>
           For details on input subcommands, see sway-input(5).

           * may be used in lieu of a specific device name to configure all
           input devices. A list of input device names may be obtained via
           swaymsg -t get_inputs.

       seat <seat> <seat-subcommands...>
           For details on seat subcommands, see sway-input(5).

       kill
           Kills (closes) the currently focused container and all of its chil‐
           dren.

       smart_borders on|no_gaps|off
           If smart_borders are on, borders will only be enabled if the
           workspace has more than one visible child. If smart_borders is set
           to no_gaps, borders will only be enabled if the workspace has more
           than one visible child and gaps equal to zero.

       smart_gaps on|off|toggle|inverse_outer
           If smart_gaps are on gaps will only be enabled if a workspace has
           more than one child. If smart_gaps are inverse_outer outer gaps
           will only be enabled if a workspace has exactly one child.

       mark --add|--replace [--toggle] <identifier>
           Marks are arbitrary labels that can be used to identify certain
           windows and then jump to them at a later time. Each identifier can
           only be set on a single window at a time since they act as a unique
           identifier. By default, mark sets identifier as the only mark on a
           window. --add will instead add identifier to the list of current
           marks for that window. If --toggle is specified mark will remove
           identifier if it is already marked.

       mode <mode>
           Switches to the specified mode. The default mode is default.

       mode [--pango_markup] <mode> <mode-subcommands...>
           The only valid mode-subcommands... are bindsym, bindcode,
           bindswitch, and set. If --pango_markup is given, then mode will be
           interpreted as pango markup.

       mouse_warping output|container|none
           If output is specified, the mouse will be moved to new outputs as
           you move focus between them. If container is specified, the mouse
           will be moved to the middle of the container on switch. Default is
           output.

       no_focus <criteria>
           Prevents windows matching <criteria> from being focused automati‐
           cally when they're created. This has no effect on the first window
           in a workspace.

       output <output_name> <output-subcommands...>
           For details on output subcommands, see sway-output(5).

           * may be used in lieu of a specific output name to configure all
           outputs. A list of output names may be obtained via swaymsg -t
           get_outputs.

       popup_during_fullscreen smart|ignore|leave_fullscreen
           Determines what to do when a fullscreen view opens a dialog. If
           smart (the default), the dialog will be displayed. If ignore, the
           dialog will not be rendered. If leave_fullscreen, the view will
           exit fullscreen mode and the dialog will be rendered.

       set $<name> <value>
           Sets variable $name to value. You can use the new variable in the
           arguments of future commands. When the variable is used, it can be
           escaped with an additional $ (ie $$name) to have the replacement
           happen at run time instead of when reading the config. However, it
           does not always make sense for the variable to be replaced at run
           time since some arguments do need to be known at config time.

       show_marks yes|no
           If show_marks is yes, marks will be displayed in the window bor‐
           ders. Any mark that starts with an underscore will not be drawn
           even if show_marks is yes. The default is yes.

       opacity [set|plus|minus] <value>
           Adjusts the opacity of the window between 0 (completely transpar‐
           ent) and 1 (completely opaque). If the operation is omitted, set
           will be used.

       tiling_drag  enable|disable|toggle
           Sets whether or not tiling containers can be dragged with the
           mouse. If enabled (default), the floating_mod can be used to drag
           tiling, as well as floating, containers. Using the left mouse but‐
           ton on title bars without the floating_mod will also allow the con‐
           tainer to be dragged. toggle should not be used in the config file.

       tiling_drag_threshold <threshold>
           Sets the threshold that must be exceeded for a container to be
           dragged by its titlebar. This has no effect if floating_mod is used
           or if tiling_drag is set to disable.  Once the threshold has been
           exceeded once, the drag starts and the cursor can come back inside
           the threshold without stopping the drag.  threshold is multiplied
           by the scale of the output that the cursor on.  The default is 9.

       title_align left|center|right
           Sets the title alignment. If right is selected and show_marks is
           set to yes, the marks will be shown on the left side instead of the
           right side.

       unbindswitch <switch>:<state>
           Removes a binding for when <switch> changes to <state>.

       unbindgesture [--exact] [--input-device=<device>] <gesture>[:<fin‐
       gers>][:directions]
           Removes a binding for the specified gesture, fingers and directions
           combination.

       unbindsym [--whole-window] [--border] [--exclude-titlebar] [--release]
       [--locked] [--to-code] [--input-device=<device>] <key combo>
           Removes the binding for key combo that was previously bound with
           the given flags.  If input-device is given, only the binding for
           that input device will be unbound.

           unbindcode [--whole-window] [--border] [--exclude-titlebar] [--re‐
           lease] [--locked] [--input-device=<device>] <code> is also avail‐
           able for unbinding with key/button codes instead of key/button
           names.

       unmark [<identifier>]
           unmark will remove identifier from the list of current marks on a
           window. If identifier is omitted, all marks are removed.

       urgent enable|disable|allow|deny
           Using enable or disable manually sets or unsets the window's urgent
           state. Using allow or deny controls the window's ability to set it‐
           self as urgent. By default, windows are allowed to set their own
           urgency.

       workspace [--no-auto-back-and-forth] [number] <[num:]name>
           Switches to the specified workspace. The num: portion of the name
           is optional and will be used for ordering. If num: is not given and
           name is a number, then it will be also be used for ordering.

           If the no-auto-back-and-forth option is given, then this command
           will not perform a back-and-forth operation when the workspace is
           already focused and workspace_auto_back_and_forth is enabled.

           If the number keyword is specified and a workspace with the number
           already exists, then the workspace with the number will be used. If
           a workspace with the number does not exist, a new workspace will be
           created with the name name.

       workspace prev|next
           Switches to the next workspace on the current output or on the next
           output if currently on the last workspace.

       workspace prev_on_output|next_on_output
           Switches to the next workspace on the current output.

       workspace back_and_forth
           Switches to the previously focused workspace.

       workspace <name> gaps inner|outer|horizontal|vertical|top|right|bot‐
       tom|left <amount>
           Specifies that workspace name should have the given gaps settings
           when it is created.

           This command does not affect existing workspaces. To alter the gaps
           of an existing workspace, use the gaps command.

       workspace <name> output <outputs...>
           Specifies that workspace name should be shown on the specified out‐
           puts. Multiple outputs can be listed and the first available will
           be used. If the workspace gets placed on an output further down the
           list and an output that is higher on the list becomes available,
           the workspace will be moved to the higher priority output.

           This command does not affect existing workspaces. To move an exist‐
           ing workspace, use the move command in combination with the
           workspace criteria (non-empty workspaces only) or workspace command
           (to switch to the workspace before moving).

       workspace_auto_back_and_forth yes|no
           When yes, repeating a workspace switch command will switch back to
           the prior workspace. For example, if you are currently on workspace
           1, switch to workspace 2, then invoke the workspace 2 command
           again, you will be returned to workspace 1. Default is no.

CRITERIA
       A criteria is a string in the form of, for example:

           [class="[Rr]egex.*" title="some title"]

       The string contains one or more (space separated) attribute/value
       pairs. They are used by some commands to choose which views to execute
       actions on. All attributes must match for the criteria to match. Crite‐
       ria is retained across commands separated by a ,, but will be reset
       (and allow for new criteria, if desired) for commands separated by a ;.

       Criteria may be used with either the for_window or assign commands to
       specify operations to perform on new views. A criteria may also be used
       to perform specific commands (ones that normally act upon one window)
       on all views that match that criteria. For example:

       Focus on a window with the mark "IRC":

           [con_mark="IRC"] focus

       Kill all windows with the title "Emacs":

           [class="Emacs"] kill

       You may like to use swaymsg -t get_tree for finding the values of these
       properties in practice for your applications.

       The following attributes may be matched with:

       app_id
           Compare value against the app id. Can be a regular expression. If
           value is __focused__, then the app id must be the same as that of
           the currently focused window. app_id are specific to Wayland appli‐
           cations.

       class
           Compare value against the window class. Can be a regular expres‐
           sion. If value is __focused__, then the window class must be the
           same as that of the currently focused window. class are specific to
           X11 applications and require XWayland.

       con_id
           Compare against the internal container ID, which you can find via
           IPC. If value is __focused__, then the id must be the same as that
           of the currently focused window.

       con_mark
           Compare against the window marks. Can be a regular expression.

       floating
           Matches floating windows.

       id
           Compare value against the X11 window ID. Must be numeric. id is
           specific to X11 applications and requires XWayland.

       instance
           Compare value against the window instance. Can be a regular expres‐
           sion. If value is __focused__, then the window instance must be the
           same as that of the currently focused window. instance is specific
           to X11 applications and requires XWayland.

       pid
           Compare value against the window's process ID. Must be numeric.

       shell
           Compare value against the window shell, such as "xdg_shell" or
           "xwayland". Can be a regular expression. If value is __focused__,
           then the shell must be the same as that of the currently focused
           window.

       tiling
           Matches tiling windows.

       title
           Compare against the window title. Can be a regular expression. If
           value is __focused__, then the window title must be the same as
           that of the currently focused window.

       urgent
           Compares the urgent state of the window. Can be first, last, lat‐
           est, newest, oldest or recent.

       window_role
           Compare against the window role (WM_WINDOW_ROLE). Can be a regular
           expression. If value is __focused__, then the window role must be
           the same as that of the currently focused window. window_role is
           specific to X11 applications and requires XWayland.

       window_type
           Compare against the window type (_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE). Possible
           values are normal, dialog, utility, toolbar, splash, menu, drop‐
           down_menu, popup_menu, tooltip and notification. window_type is
           specific to X11 applications and requires XWayland.

       workspace
           Compare against the workspace name for this view. Can be a regular
           expression. If the value is __focused__, then all the views on the
           currently focused workspace matches.
