The event listener thread is a Unix socket that waits for sway events. This must be executed, preferably as the last expression in your =init.scm= file, because =thread-join= will block execution. This blocking is necessary to keep the listener active and prevent the script from exiting.

Additionally, =swayipc= includes another patched Guile library called =guile-json=, which is embedded for now. In the future, this will be included as a separate dependency rather than embedded.

You can partially configure workspace groups to span or sync only some workspaces. This allows you to have workspaces that do not span and others that do, with the ability to pin specific workspaces to their monitors when focused.
