Switching workspaces is unreliable and moving containers does not work #1475

Closed codethief closed 6 years ago

codethief commented 6 years ago

The title says it all. I'm using a configuration which resembles the default i3 config:

# Windows key; used as the general modifier key
set $mod Mod4

# […]

# switch to workspace
bindsym $mod+1 workspace 1
bindsym $mod+2 workspace 2
bindsym $mod+3 workspace 3
bindsym $mod+4 workspace 4
bindsym $mod+5 workspace 5
bindsym $mod+6 workspace 6
bindsym $mod+7 workspace 7
bindsym $mod+8 workspace 8
bindsym $mod+9 workspace 9
bindsym $mod+0 workspace 10

# alternatives
bindsym F1 workspace 1
bindsym F2 workspace 2
bindsym F3 workspace 3
bindsym F4 workspace 4
bindsym F7 workspace 7

# move focused container to workspace
bindsym $mod+Shift+exclam move workspace 1
bindsym $mod+Shift+quotedbl move workspace 2
bindsym $mod+Shift+section move workspace 3
bindsym $mod+Shift+dollar move workspace 4
bindsym $mod+Shift+percent move workspace 5
bindsym $mod+Shift+ampersand move workspace 6
bindsym $mod+Shift+slash move workspace 7
bindsym $mod+Shift+parenleft move workspace 8
bindsym $mod+Shift+parenright move workspace 9
bindsym $mod+Shift+equal move workspace 10

# alternatives
bindsym $mod+F1 move workspace 1
bindsym $mod+F2 move workspace 2
bindsym $mod+F3 move workspace 3
bindsym $mod+F4 move workspace 4
bindsym $mod+F7 move workspace 7

Switching workspaces mostly works (albeit sometimes with significant lag of up to ~10 seconds) but moving containers does not work at all, neither using $mod+Shift+<number> nor using $mod+<function key>.

I'm using Sway 0.14.0 on Ubuntu 17.10.

Please attach debug log and switch to 0.15 if possible.

@codethief I also had the problem of not being able to move containers to workspaces. The configuration between i3 and sway differs here:

#i3:
bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move workspace 1

#sway
bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move container to workspace 1

@t-8ch You might have an old version of the i3 config. My i3 config has the same syntax as Sway does and the default config seems to have it too:

Thanks @albocc , I am actually not sure why I wrote this comment, as my current config looks like the example one and works -.-
