## Variables
This role have multiples variables for managing all configurations, all
variables are initalized to reproduce default configuration.
There is no bar configured by this role because it is out of his scope. A futur
role will be created for installing and configuring Waybar.
### Packages
`sway_packages` list packages to install.
### variables
`sway_variables` contains a list of variable needed for configuration files like
`$term` or `$menu`
```yaml
sway_variables:
- name: '$term'
value: 'foot'
- name: '$menu'
value: 'dmenu_path | dmenu | xargs swaymsg exec --'
```
### output
Manage displays and options
```yaml
sway_outputs:
- id: 'all'
name: '*'
options:
- option: 'bg'
value: '/usr/share/backgrounds/sway/sway_wallpaper_blue_1920x1080.png fill'
``````
This example reproduce default beaviour:
* `id`: display id, useful for (future) kanshi configuration role
* `name`: name of display, this can be found with `swaymsg -t get_outputs`
* `options`: list of options
### Input
Manage input configuration
```yaml
sway_inputs:
- name: '*'
options:

action: 'kill'
# ...
- mode: 'resize'
bindings:
- bindsym: '$left'

```
`theme_parameters` contains a list of key:value, each `key` represent a
configuration parameter, `value` represent ... his value.
