Adding support for the keyboard shortcuts inhibit protocol allows remote desktop and virtualisation software to receive all keyboard input in order to pass it through to their clients so users can fully interact the their remote/virtual session. The software usually provides its own key combination to release its "grab" to all keyboard input. The inhibitor can be deactivated by the user by removing focus from the surface using another input device such as the pointer. Use support for the procotol in wlroots to add support to sway. Extend the input manager with handlers for inhibitor creation and destruction and appropriate bookkeeping. Attach the inhibitors to the seats they apply to to avoid having to search the list of all currently existing inhibitors on every keystroke and passing the inhibitor manager around. Add a helper function to retrieve the inhibitor applying to the currently focused surface of a seat, if one exists. Extend bindsym with a flag for bindings that should be processed even if an inhibitor is active. Conversely this disables all normal shortcuts if an inhibitor is found for the currently focused surface in keyboard::handle_key_event() since they don't have that flag set. Use above helper function to determine if an inhibitor exists for the surface that would eventually receive input. Signed-off-by: Michael Weiser <michael.weiser@gmx.de> |

Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)

*Compile-time dep
Run these commands:
meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
