This should make True Color (24-bit) and italics work in your tmux session and vim/neovim when using Alacritty (and should be compatible with any other terminal emulator, including Kitty).
Running this script should look the same in tmux as without.

I've run into a strange problem where sometimes, my monitors are forced to DPMS off and moving the cursor or pressing keys does not free it. I suspect this is a bug in my SwayWM configuration or a bug in Swaylock, but it resolves itself if I wait until the device again locks, which causes a second Swaylock instance to appear.
In any case, if you get yourself stuck and need to recover, you might want to be able to run swaymsg remotely. If you do, you might run into strange issues. swaymsg calls sway --get-socketpath to get the IPC socket, which... just returns the value of the SWAYSOCK environment variable. In my case, this also has the funny side-effect of starting a dbus session and SSH agent each time its invoked, because it is calling the NixOS-wrapped SwayWM binary. Probably should patch the NixOS version to explicitly call the unwrapped binary!
In order to recover the SWAYSOCK, one approach that should be relatively easy and does not requ
