Sway Window Manager is a tiling window manager and a drop-in replacement for i3, built specifically for the Wayland display server. I chose it because of: lightweight, tiling, customization, minimalism.
Instead of configuring the entire window manger in a single file, I chose the modular configuration path.
Files list:
- config - the basic configuration file which contains the inclusion of all specific files and the assignment of the most necessary settings.
- config.d/daemons.conf - running all necessary background processes.
- config.d/floating.conf - rules of behavior of floating windows.
- config.d/input.conf - settings for input devices such as keyboard and touchpad.
- config.d/keybinds.conf - keybind settings.
- config.d/theme.conf - colorscheme, themes and other visual settings.
