Sway 1.6-rc1 Released With Better Touchscreen/Tablet Support

[jacob]

Does anybody know of a way to configure Sway so that it defaults to opening new windows in "floating" mode instead of tiling? I can't stand tiling.

In that case why are you using a TILING desktop manager?

I've worked from both solely a 13" laptop screen and 27" + 23" combo and very rarely used anything else than fullscreen windows. Tiling or floating, whatever, redundant for me.

The only tiling I would do was putting a terminal window and web browser in half-and-half, vertically-maximized state.
