# Swaysome
This binary helps you configure sway to work a bit more like Awesome. This
currently means workspaces that are name-spaced on a per-screen basis.
It should also work with i3, but this is untested.
## Usage
Build and install the `swaysome` binary somewhere in your `$PATH` with something
like:
```
git clone https://git.hya.sk/skia/swaysome
cd swaysome
cargo install --path .
```
Then put something like the following in your `sway` configuration:
```
# Change focus between workspaces
bindsym $mod+1 exec "swaysome focus 1"
bindsym $mod+2 exec "swaysome focus 2"
bindsym $mod+3 exec "swaysome focus 3"
bindsym $mod+4 exec "swaysome focus 4"
bindsym $mod+5 exec "swaysome focus 5"
bindsym $mod+6 exec "swaysome focus 6"
bindsym $mod+7 exec "swaysome focus 7"
bindsym $mod+8 exec "swaysome focus 8"
bindsym $mod+9 exec "swaysome focus 9"
bindsym $mod+0 exec "swaysome focus 0"
# Move containers between workspaces
bindsym $mod+Shift+1 exec "swaysome move 1"
bindsym $mod+Shift+2 exec "swaysome move 2"
bindsym $mod+Shift+3 exec "swaysome move 3"
bindsym $mod+Shift+4 exec "swaysome move 4"
bindsym $mod+Shift+5 exec "swaysome move 5"
bindsym $mod+Shift+6 exec "swaysome move 6"
bindsym $mod+Shift+7 exec "swaysome move 7"
bindsym $mod+Shift+8 exec "swaysome move 8"
bindsym $mod+Shift+9 exec "swaysome move 9"
bindsym $mod+Shift+0 exec "swaysome move 0"
# Init workspaces for every screen
exec "swaysome init"
```
You should end-up with workspaces from `1` to `0`, prefixed with a screen index,
giving you workspace `01` on the first screen, and workspace `11` on the second
one, both accessible with shortcut `$mod+1`.
The `init` command simply walks through every screen to initialize a prefixed
workspace. It does it backwards so that you end-up focused on the first screen,
as usual.
