From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OK Have Sway running just fine and am using it as my daily driver. What I'm missing is some way to prevent the display from sleeping when playing full-screen content. I adjusted the time-out in the sway config; however, that's not the way to prevent the display from sleeping with full-screen active. Any ideas? With Gnome, one uses caffeine, but extensions don't work with Sway. Thanks!

No need for external programs:

for_window [class="^.*"] inhibit_idle fullscreen
for_window [app_id="^.*"] inhibit_idle fullscreen

The inhibit_idle specifier is cool, thanks for the pointer. This two liner can be replaced with:

for_window [all] inhibit_idle fullscreen
