New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21233#issuecomment-636532772 Comment: If you need to remap keys I believe you can use `xkb` keymaps, which wlroots can load and use. Doesn't need a daemon for it. > Can this be solved by running sway as a custom user? I don't know but I don't think so, running graphical stuff as another user feels weird. I will try to ask over at #sway, though. I had based my comment off of https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/commit/906c0766df2fec4bd32c316fd1b0d46fded5fc84 , but it does seem to contrast a bit with the comment you linked to. Will ask about it as well.
