I just switch from an old eos version to eos cassini nova. I didn t save my config because I m a bit dumb…
There is my problem : I have my binding config in .config/sway/config.d/default (in my sway/config file I have the link to this folder “config.d/*”) with this code (default i3 conf)
Moving around:
# Move your focus around
bindsym $mod+$left focus left
bindsym $mod+$down focus down
bindsym $mod+$up focus up
bindsym $mod+$right focus right
# Or use $mod+[up|down|left|right]
bindsym $mod+Left focus left
bindsym $mod+Down focus down
bindsym $mod+Up focus up
bindsym $mod+Right focus right
# Move the focused window with the same, but add Shift
bindsym $mod+Shift+$left move left
bindsym $mod+Shift+$down move down
bindsym $mod+Shift+$up move up
bindsym $mod+Shift+$right move right
# Ditto, with arrow keys
bindsym $mod+Shift+Left move left
bindsym $mod+Shift+Down move down
bindsym $mod+Shift+Up move up
bindsym $mod+Shift+Right move right
Workspaces:
# Switch to workspace
bindsym $mod+1 workspace number 1
bindsym $mod+2 workspace number 2
bindsym $mod+3 workspace number 3
bindsym $mod+4 workspace number 4
bindsym $mod+5 workspace number 5

# Move focused container to workspace

bindsym $mod+Shift+7 move container to workspace number 7
bindsym $mod+Shift+8 move container to workspace number 8
bindsym $mod+Shift+9 move container to workspace number 9
bindsym $mod+Shift+0 move container to workspace number 10
# Note: workspaces can have any name you want, not just numbers.
# We just use 1-10 as the default.
but, I have to type $mod + Shift + 1 to focus on containter 1 and nothin happens on $mod + 1…
If anybody got tips or ideas to try
(I’m kind of a newbie feel free to correct the way I ask my question or whatever !)
If you are already on workspace 1, nothing will happen with $mod+1. If you hit $mod+2 it should bring you to workspace 2, and $mod+3 will bring you to workspace 3–is that working?
$mod+shift+1 moves the currently focused window to workspace 1. If you are already on workspace 1, this also will not change anything. Try $mod+shift+2 and you should be able to move the focused window to workspace 2.
nop that’s my problem. I want the system to react like this but $mod + shit moves me to the workspace and $mod + num dont do anyhting.
I cannot move my windows out of their origin workspace and need to press shift to “move” myself"
Is there anything in ~/.config/sway/config, aside from the include ~/.config/sway/config.d/* line you mentioned? I’m just wondering if there is a conflict being introduced somewhere.

What type of keyboard layout is in use? If it is a French layout, you must set it up with this special configuration:
Workspace switching on the French layout
Because French number keys only produce numbers when Shift is pressed (or Caps Lock is active), you’ll need to setup key bindings with the various special characters under the numbers (&, é, ", etc):
Yup I’m french, I tried with $mod + & , é " ’ ( - è _ ç à
and didn’t work but imma try this.
update : everything is fine (thank you very much @BluishHumility ). But I’m wondering, if this is hardcoded for my layout I will be in trouble if I switch to a qwerty layout nah ?
By default, if you are using more than one keyboard layout, e.g. input * xkb_layout "us,ru", bindings may become broken when you switch on some secondary layout.
bindsym --to-code {
$mod+$left focus left
$mod+$down focus down
$mod+$up focus up
$mod+$right focus right
}
Alternatively you can create a variable set $mybind bindsym --to-code and then replace all instances of bindsym with $mybind like so: $mybind $mod+w thing
