Cycle through all visible windows on a sway[fx] workspace including floating ones or windows in sub-containers. So it simulates the behavior of other window managers and desktop environments. Just bind the tool to ALT-tab and there you go.

Installation

Checkout the repo and execute make. You'll need the go toolkit. Then copy the binary swaycycle to some location within your $PATH.

Configuration

Add such a line to your sway config file (e.g. in $HOME/.config/sway/config):

bindsym $mod+Tab exec ~/bin/swaycycle

Debugging

You may call swaycycle in a terminal window on a workspace with at least one another window to test it. Use the option --debug (-d) to get comprehensive debugging output. Add the option --dump (-D) to also get a dump of the sway data tree retrieved by swaycycle. You may also try --verbose (-v) to get a oneliner about the switch.

It's also possible to debug an instance executed by sway using the --logfile (-l) switch, e.g.:

bindsym $mod+Tab exec ~/bin/swaycycle -d -l /tmp/cycle.log

Getting help

Although I'm happy to hear from swaycycle users in private email, that's the best way for me to forget to do something.
