# sway-float

Simple program to float windows immediately.

## Problem

Firefox based browsers (and other programs) create a new window and immediately give the window a default name

(ex: Mozilla Firefox) before setting the actual name of the window. Sway has trouble dealing with this change in window

title names and will only match the first title that is set until the window focus changes. Then the it will match the

new title and the window will be made floating. This program uses sway-ipc to listen directly for window events and will

set a window to floating when a new window that matches the criteria is created.
