How to turn off the "help" window on startup? #27

First of all, thanks for the great project! I really like it.

When logging in, there is always a help window (which shows sway shortcuts). I realized that it toggles with mod + ? key (which basically does /usr/share/sway/scripts/help.sh --toggle)

I want it to be hidden when start-up. So I added the line below to an user conf file ~/.config/sway/config.d/styling.conf.

exec "/usr/share/sway/scripts/help.sh --toggle"

My intention was, since the help window will be enabled by /etc/sway/config.d/99-autostart-applications.conf, and ~/.config/sway/config.d/* is the last part of the whole configuration, I thought this part should turn the toggle down.

But the window is still shown when logging in. What is the proper way to hide it when logging in? (Hopefully without touching the content in /etc/sway/*.)

Comment line [ -x "$(command -v nwg-wrapper)" ] && [ -f $HOME/.config/nwg-wrapper/help.sh ] && /usr/share/sway/scripts/help.sh in /etc/sway/config.d/99-autostart-applications.conf

Oh, I can definitely do that. But what if, for example, I don't have 'sudo' permission? Wouldn't it be better if there's a way to override it from the '.config/sway' side?

Or for example, when I might reinstall ubuntu-sway-remix later and deploy my dotfiles, I wish everything stays the same. But this solution will make me to touch a file inside '/etc'.

Of course I can make a script to search and comment out the particular line, but I was wondering if there's a better way. Thanks for your answer though!
