nvim-sway

nvim-sway.mp4

nvim-sway allows navigation between both sway windows and neovim splits. It does this using neovim and sway rpc. No neovim plugins are required.

After installation replace your focus bindings in your sway config with nvim-sway.

bindsym $mod+$left exec nvim-sway left
bindsym $mod+$down exec nvim-sway down
bindsym $mod+$up exec nvim-sway up
bindsym $mod+$right exec nvim-sway right

Details

Communication with sway is done over the socket found in the $SWAYSOCK environment variable.

The neovim socket is found by first finding the pid of the target neovim instance and then searching in the standard neovim socket locations. These are $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and $TMPDIR/nvim.$USER.

Dependencies

Installation

Nix

nix shell github:cjab/nvim-sway:nvim-sway

Development

The easiest way to build this project is to use the dev environment provided in the flake.nix.

Otherwise, ensure that the dependencies listed above are installed and then run:

make

Alternatives

This was heavily inspired by vim-sway-nav and if vim support is important to you it still may be the way to go!

The initial motivation for nvim-sway was the large amount of latency found in vim-sway-nav when changing focus from sway windows with deep process trees.

Along the way, I also realized if the scope was limited to neovim that I could avoid requiring a (neo)vim plugin altogether.
