swayconfig.vim

This repo contains the syntax highlighting rules that I used for sway config in Vim. Sway syntax is similar to i3 syntax with a few differences in keywords.

The syntax file has been added to vim and neovim and their maintainence will continue on the vim branch. The master branch will host a standalone version of the plugin.

File type detection

There is no specific extension for sway config file. The plugin checks for the word sway in the buffer or the filepath to set the filetype. Additonally, you an add # vim: filetype=swayconfig anywhere in your config file.

Installation instructions

Both vim and neovim should have the swayconfig syntax by default. If not, follow one of the steps below and reload vim afterwards.
