  • Sway Version: 1.10

  • Description:

The sway-output man page gives an example output "Some Company ABC123 0x00000000" pos 1920 0

Trying to replicate this in a shell results in

>swaymsg output "Guangxi Century Innovation Display Electronics Co., Ltd 15A1F FA1FC1X030443" position 1920 1600
Error: Invalid output subcommand: Century.

The actual command that's required in bash, fish etc is swaymsg output "\"Guangxi Century Innovation Display Electronics Co., Ltd 15A1F FA1FC1X030443\"" position 1920 1600

This surprising behavior is inherited from i3 IIRC.
