#2Sadly it's bound to X11.
The alternative for me was to migrate to sway[1] to have a similar environment in wayland.

#3i3 along with a few floating terminals with hotkeys is a dream setup for me. I have hotkeys for Guake, Terminator and Tilda and they position differently. I use the i3 scratchpad a lot too.
My current dev machine has been running ArchLinux + i3-gaps for a couple of years now. Very solid, and not a single update screwup so far.

Sadly Sway is bound to wayland.

Sadly Sway is bound to wayland.
It greatly annoys me that wayland still doesn't have any solutions for synergy/barrier type software. I depend on it daily for using my desktop and laptop and it's tedious to make the switch as it currently is.

If the submission was for Sway, it would be equally sad that it was bound to Wayland.
I think projects like this should link each other as alternatives though, to aid in discovery. Since they are for different protocols, I don't think they will lose anything by linking their "competitor".
I can see that sway mentions and links to i3, but I can't see anything similar from i3. Not sure if they haven't noticed it or if they are not fond of it.

#8I love i3 (though would switch to sway in a heartbeat if they sorted hidpi and xwayland together). Its only major flaw in my mind is that you will never be able to use someone else’s computer without feeling a seething frustration that it isn’t running i3 with your config...

Yep. I've been using sway for a year now and I like it more than i3. When I switched to wayland I also dumped nvidia which has generally been great, but I have had several problems with the Intel drivers, unfortunately. I run the stable kernel.org kernel and currently need to patch it so it works. But I'd rather run a system that I can fix then one I can't.

I've been meaning to try out barrier. How do you like it? Is it responsive/fast? I had synergy running across linux/mac machines a number of years ago and it wasn't super reliable back then..
