Kenny Levinsen e1b268af98 seat: Avoid sending redundant keymaps on reload
When we reload the config, we reset every input device and re-apply
configuration from the config file. This means that the keyboard keymap
is updated at least once during config reload, more if the config file
contains keyboard configuration.

When they keyboard keymap changes and is updated through wlr_seat, the
keymap ends up sent to every keyboard bound in every client, seemingly
multiple times. On an x230 of mine with a keyboard layout set in the
config file, I see 42 keymap events sent to foot on config reload.

Reduce events from keyboard configurations by skipping all but the
currently active keyboard for the seat, and by clearing the active
keyboard during input manager device reset. After this change, I only
see a single just-in-time keymap event.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

Compiling from Source

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre2
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

* Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install

On systems without logind nor seatd, 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).
