Using sway with xfce4.
# Default config for sway
#
# Copy this to ~/.config/sway/config and edit it to your liking.
#
# Read `man 5 sway` for a complete reference.
### Variables
#
# Logo key. Use Mod1 for Alt.
set $mod Mod4
# Home row direction keys, like vim
set $left h
set $down j
set $up k
set $right l
# Your preferred terminal emulator
set $term foot
# Your preferred application launcher
set $menu fuzzel -w 40 --icon-theme=Numix
### Output configuration
#
# Default wallpaper (more resolutions are available in /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/)
# output * bg /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/Sway_Wallpaper_Blue_1366x768.png fill
# output * bg /home/dragora/Pictures/backiee-244673-landscape.jpg fill

#
# You can get the names of your outputs by running: swaymsg -t get_outputs
### Idle configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#

# timeout 300 'swaylock -f -c 000000' \
# timeout 600 'swaymsg "output * power off"' resume 'swaymsg "output * power on"' \
# before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000'
