The typical Sway config file has a key binding to pop a nagging message to exit the session, like this one:

bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec swaynag -t warning -m 'You pressed the exit shortcut. Do you really want to exit sway? This will end your Wayland session.' -b 'Yes, exit sway' 'swaymsg exit'

But it's annoying because if you hit mod+shift+e accidentally, you have to go and click on the X to dismiss the nag. Weirdly, it happens to me a lot more than it should.

Here's a slightly jazzed up keybinding you might like:

bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec pkill swaynag || (swaynag -t warning -m 'You pressed the exit shortcut. Do you really want to exit sway? This will end your Wayland session.' -b 'Yes, exit sway' 'swaymsg exit' & sleep 5 && pkill swaynag)

This adds two things:

• If you hit mod+shift+e accidentally, hit it again to dismiss the nag.
• Wait 5 seconds and the nag will disappear on its own anyway.
