00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000
Hi my name is Drew,
2
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.000
and I am the maintainer of Sway,
3
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.000
a tiling Wayland compositor.
4
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.000
Sway is compatible with the i3 window manager.
5
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.000
It uses the same configuration syntax
6
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.000
and supports most software that is designed for i3.
7
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
The difference is that sway uses Wayland instead of Xorg.
8
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.000
Wayland is the next generation
9
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.000
of display servers
10
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.000
for Linux and related operating systems.
11
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.000
It is more efficient, more secure
12
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.000
and easier for developers to work with.
13
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.000
Let's take a quick tour
14
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.000
of some of the features of sway.
15
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000
If you are familiar with i3,
16
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.000
some of this might not be new to you.
17
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.000
I'll start by opening my web browser.
18
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
19
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Sway will arrange it,
20
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.000
to use all of the available space.
21
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.000
If I open more windows,
22
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Sway will rearrange things accordingly.
23
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.000
I can move between these with the keyboard.
24
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.000
I can ask Sway to arrange them vertically,
25
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.000
horizontally,
26
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.000
tabbed,
27
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.000
or stacked.
28
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
29
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
I can change their sizes with the keyboard too.
30
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
31
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.000
I can also split windows
32
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.000
into containers of several windows.
33
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
34
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.000
So far I haven't touched the mouse.
35
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.000
If I wanted to, though,
36
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.000
I can use it to manipulate these windows.
37
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:33.000
[various background noises]
38
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.000
It is also possible to take windows
39
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.000
outside the tiling area
40
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
and manipulate them entirely with the mouse.
41
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.000
[various background noises and some keyboard clicks]
42
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.000
Sway also includes features
43
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.000
you may recognize from prominent i3 forks,
44
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:47.000
such as gaps.
45
00:01:47.000 --> 00:02:06.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
46
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.000
Also included are compatible equivalents
47
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.000
from important i3 programs
48
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.000
like swaybar,
49
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
50
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.000
swaylock,
51
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
52
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.000
and swaymsg,
53
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.000
as well as some programs unique to sway
54
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.000
such as swaygrab.
55
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:19.000
[sound of clicking keyboard]
56
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.000
We only scratched the surface
57
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.000
of what Sway could do.
58
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.000
We have lots of great docs
59
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.000
that will help you learn more.
60
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.000
Today Sway supports almost all
61
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.000
of i3s features.
62
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.000
Give it a shot!
