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?

    Sway is highly compatible with i3.

    I believe the keysym names should still work.

    Class and Title are X11 specific. Wayland has “app_id”. Probably a quick find/replace.
