dedicated to the Sway window manager, a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager, but for Wayland instead of X11.

How much of my i3 config can I reuse in Sway? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I use i3. I have a machine coming that only work with Wayland, so I'll be installing Sway on it.

I know Sway is touted to be a drop-in replacement for i3, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder how much of this is true.

Like for example, all the key bindings use X11 keysym names. Or the window properties likes Class and Title are also X11-specific. Surely none of this applies to Wayland, correct?
