Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It supports most of i3's features, plus a few extras.
Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.
With this ansible role you deploy a sway configuration with optionally swaylock, waybar and fuzzel.
