include $HOME/.config/sway/config.d/*
include /etc/sway/outputs/*

• edit ~/.config/sway/config.d/10-autostart-applications config file:

waybar

comment nwg-panel to enable waybar

#exec_always nwg-panel

nwg-panel

comment waybar to enable nwg-panel

bar {
   #swaybar_command waybar
}

keyboard

• edit .config/sway/config.d/input to change keyboard layout and other kb settings

change output properties (check man page for more info)

Issues

• vmware: black screen after sway launch
  adding WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 to /etc/environment may fix the problem
