Keybinds

If you are switching from a non-keyboard oriented way of using a computer, I'll admit that having to learn new keybinds for everything is annoying.

If you're used to a tiling WM already, the keybinds are pretty much the defaults (except for the shell stuff and the lack of vim homerow keybinds which I plan to add soon when I switch to neovim)

I can promise you that once you get the hang of these keybinds, it'll feel natural and you'll be super fast. My baby lil brother made the switch in just a few days!

Note that the screenshot key is just the print screen key, there's no alias for that. The Super key is equivalent to the Windows key (if you're on a Mac keyboard and want to configure it to be Command, you can change that in the sway config)

If you are inside an ags widget like the emoji picker, clipboard, recording menu, lockscreen, or power menu, it will steal your focus. Anything typed there will be directly sent to ags instead of the program you're in (except for the status bar). The shell will accept just a pure keybind, so you dont need to hold anything. For example, just press Super + Shift + S to open the power menu and then simply pressing R will reboot. Icons shown are just for design, they don't actually work and MUST be operated by this keybind.

Note that you can use your scrollwheel over the media widget or quicksettings area to adjust the mpd or system volume. This is usually faster than just using your vol up or down keys. A keyboard potentiometer knob is also much quicker and more precise - I recommend using one!
