As there is no need to keep autostart commands in memory, we can safely
remove them as soon as they have been executed. As we previously didn't
clear them at all during config reloads, this also fixes a memory leak.
Note that neither autostarts nor autostarts_always is executed during
config reloads, so removing them from memory is fine as an i3 restart
will cause them to be parsed again.
fixes#2044
1. i3 config validation failed when the new line is missing from the end of file.
The error was: "ERROR: Your line continuation is too long, it exceeds 4096 bytes".
It is wrong to assume that there is always a '\n' at the end of each line in the config file.
(Not for the last line.)
Fix it via adding a end-of-file check.
2. See the issue #2051. (https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2051)
This patch introduces the possibility to specify the tray_output directive
multiple times. All values will be used by i3bar, in the order they are
given.
This way, a single bar configuration can be used for several machines with
internal output names "eDP1" and "LVDS-0" by specifying tray_output for both.
Any external output (e.g., "DP-0") will still not receive the tray. The same
effect can be achieved by using "primary", but forces the user to couple the
tray display to the primary output which may not be desirable behavior.

This patch extends the previously introduced flag --no-auto-back-and-forth
to also apply to
move window to workspace <name>
move window to workspace number <number>
relates to #2028
Since splitting a docking container was allowed and successful, the check
to prevent floating it fails to work. This causes a crash because the
workspace of the container cannot be determined as the dockarea is higher
up in the tree than the workspace it belongs to.
This patch extends to sanity check to nested dock containers when trying to
float a container and also disallows manually splitting a docked container
or changing its layout.
fixes#2034
We need to store the information that an assignment was run for a window
before actually executing the command. Otherwise, if the command causes
a change that causes assignments to be run again, the window might be
matched again, causing an infinite loop and hence i3 to freeze or crash.
Assignments don't necessarily represent workspace assignments, but could
also be used, e.g., for no_focus. Hence, there's no point in logging
dest.workspace for all assignments.
Suppose a horizontally oriented workspace has two windows open. Issuing "split h" on
the right window creates a nested horizontal container. If we now resize in "width"
direction, the resize doesn't work because it will only operate on the current parent,
which is a container with only one child, so the resize command exits.
This is unexpected behavior from a user point of view. Hence, with this patch, we
ensure that we don't just go up the tree until we find a parent with the correct
orientation, but also keep going if that parent has only a single child.
fixes#2015
This patch introduces the --no-auto-back-and-forth flag to both of
workspace --no-auto-back-and-forth <name>
workspace --no-auto-back-and-forth number <number>
This flag will only have an effect if the back_and_forth feature is
enabled. If passed, the feature will be ignored for this particular
call only.
fixes#2028
This allows matching with
[con_id=__focused__] unmark
for commands that do not default to operating on the focused window
if no criteria have been specified (such as unmark).
relates to #2014
This patch allows using 'unmark' on matched windows. The old behavior
of applying it to all windows if no criteria were specified is kept.
relates to #2014
In order to keep compatibility to before allowing multiple marks on a window,
we introduce a flag "--add" that must be set to put more than one mark on a
window. The default, which is also available as "--replace", keeps the old
behavior of overwriting a mark when setting a new one.
fixes#2014
This patch allows multiple marks to be set on a single window. The restriction that a mark may
only be on one window at a time is still upheld as this is necessary for commands like
"move window to mark" to make sense.
relates to #2014
When a window is moved to a mark and the marked container is a workspace,
we can skip any other logic and just call con_move_to_workspace directly.

See the issue #1798 (http://github.com/i3/i3/issues/1798).
+workspace_next+ as-is cycles through either numbered or named workspaces,
but when it reaches the last numbered/named workspace, it only looks for
named workspaces. This commit changes it: look for named workspaces after
exhausting numbered ones, but also for numbered ones after exhausting
named ones.
Also add a test case 528-workspace-next-prev.t (numbered workspaces and named
workspaces on 2 outputs) for testing this.
This introduces the flag "--pango" on the mode config directive to
explicitly enable pango markup for mode names. Not setting this will
cause the mode name to be rendered as is.
This fixes a regression in 4.11 where mode names containing characters
such as '<' would break user's configs as they didn't escape these
characters.
fixes#1992
With this patch, the no_focus directive will be ignored if the
to-be-opened window is the first on its workspace as there's no
reason the user would not want to focus it in this case.
This improves usability when, for example, using a tabbed
workspace_layout.
fixes#1987
This patch creates all necessary windows for i3bar with 32-bit visuals if available.
It also introduces the possibility to define RGBA colors (next to RGB colors), which
allows the user to set the opacity of any color. This requires running a compositor.
With this patch we also start supporting _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL, which is necessary
for the tray icons so they create the tray window with the correct depth and visual.
1). See the issue #1926. For example, the second keybinding is not detected as a duplicate:
bindcode Mod4+24 sticky toggle
bindsym Mod4+q focus parent
2). To fix it, check duplicated bindings when translating the keysym to keycodes.
`vlog()` can not handle log messages longer than 4096 bytes. However, the
message generated in `store_restart_layout()` is likely to exceed this
as it contains a long JSON string.
This has caused a few SEGFAULTS during restarts for me when running with
`-d all`.
Fix this by truncating the message to 4096 bytes and punching in a newline at
the end.
This fixes a bug I introduced in #1921. When restarting i3 in place a
stray workspace was created on the root_output during restart. On first
start, this workspace would have been moved to the first real and empty
output.
However, this does not produce the desired result during restarts when
workspaces are alread present on all real outputs. The stray workspace would
still be added to the first real output which already contains some
workspaces. Thus, adding a new empty workspace to it.
Fix this by delaying creation of the root output's workspace until it is
known whether the output is active or not.
Fixes#1940
This is necessary during a restart of i3 when restoring floating windows. In this situation, we restore the layout before setting up the RandR outputs which would set the window's size to 0, making it invisible.
Thanks to hwangcc23 and spudowiar for reporting.

1. Reference: issue #1929
2. When restarting, add the argument "-d all" if debuglog is on.
3. Add add_argument() for adding/replacing the given argument.
This patch introduces a root output covering the root window. It is used
in two cases:
1. RandR is not available. In this case, the previous behaviour of
creating a single output covering the root window is preserved.
2. RandR is available, but there is no active output. In this case,
the root output is enabled and will be the only active output.
If any RandR output becomes available, the root output will be
disabled again. Existing mechanisms for migrating workspaces will
just work without modification.
I've carefully slipped in a global variable `Output root_output` representing
that output.
Fixes#926 and #1489
This commit also reworks the way focusing sticky windows is prevented by not focusing them temporarily at all, but preventing the focus in the first place.
If no other window is available on the active workspace, we now select the EWMH support window (used to indicate that an EWMH-compliant window manager is preent) as the focus window rather than the root window. The NET_WM_ACTIVE window will still be set to XCB_WINDOW_NONE to pretend that no window is actually focused.
This fixes the issue that when using the root window, a fallback mechanism in X11 takes effect which routes keyboard input to the window under the cursor, independent of whether that window has the input focus. Using the EWMH window instead, we can avoid this behavior. We cannot simply set it to XCB_WINDOW_NONE as this would discard all keyboard events, breaking keybindings.
fixes#1378
Reordering once (as we did it before this commit) would only sort the
bindings by the _first_ bit of their event_state_mask, but we need to
sort them by _all_ bits of their event_state_mask.
fixes#1870
fixes#1835
This commit improves the translation of keysyms to keycodes by loading
keymaps using libxkbcommon-x11 and using libxkbcommon for figuring out
the keymap, depending on each keybinding’s modifiers. This way, the
upper layers of complex layouts are now usable with i3’s bindsym
directive, such as de_neo’s layer 3 and higher.
Furthermore, the commit generalizes the handling of different XKB
groups. We formerly had support only for two separate groups, the
default group 1, and group 2. While Mode_switch is only one way to
switch to group 2, we called the binding option Mode_switch. With this
commit, the new names Group1, Group2 (an alias for Mode_switch), Group3
and Group4 are introduced for configuring bindings. This is only useful
for advanced keyboard layouts, such as people loading two keyboard
layouts and switching between them (us, ru seems to be a popular
combination).
When grabbing keys, one can only specify the modifier mask, but not an
XKB state mask (or value), so we still dynamically unbind and re-bind
keys whenever the XKB group changes.
The commit was manually tested using the following i3 config:
bindsym Group4+n nop heya from group 4
bindsym Group3+n nop heya from group 3
bindsym Group2+n nop heya from group 2
bindsym n nop heya
bindsym shift+N nop explicit shift binding
bindsym shift+r nop implicit shift binding
bindcode Group2+38 nop fallback overwritten in group 2 only
bindcode 38 nop fallback
…with the following layout:
setxkbmap -layout "us,ua,ru,de" -variant ",winkeys,,neo" \
-option "grp:shift_caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll" \
-model pc104 -rules evdev
By default (xkb group 1, us layout), pressing “n” will result in the
“heya” message appearing. Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback”
message appearing. “j” is not triggered.
By pressing Shift+CapsLock you switch to the next group (xkb group 2, ua
layout). Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback overwritten in group
2 only” message, pressing “n” will still result in “heya”. “j” is not
triggered.
In the next group (xkb group 3, ru layout), pressing “a” will result in
the “fallback” message again, pressing “n” will result in “heya”,
“j” is not triggered.
In the last group (xkb group 4, de_neo layout), pressing “a” will still
result in “fallback”, pressing “n” will result in “heya”, pressing “j”
will result in “heya from group 4”.
Pressing shift+n results in “explicit shift binding”, pressing shift+r
results in “implicit shift binding”. This ensures that keysym
translation falls back to looking at non-shift keys (“r” can be used
instead of ”R”) and that the order of keybindings doesn’t play a role
(“bindsym n” does not override “bindsym shift+n”, even though it’s
specified earlier in the config).
The fallback behavior ensures use-cases such as ticket #1775 are still
covered.
Only binding keys when the X server is in the corresponding XKB group
ensures use-cases such as ticket #585 are still covered.
This reverts commit e71c304444.
It turns out that several users have workflows in which they turn off
their monitors without using e.g. `xrandr --output DP-1 --off`. The
result is that the monitors are disconnected, but not disabled.
With commit e71c304444, i3 started to see
these two states as one and the same state, but that causes more harm
than it does good. For example, for some users with only one monitor, i3
would just exit when these users turned off their monitor.
related to #1858, #1839fixes#1845
With commit c738b2e454 we changed i3 so
that the default keybindings can be used when ISO_Next_Group is enabled,
but bindings which explicitly use Mode_switch have precedence. This
behavior required the use of bindcode instead of bindsym.
With this commit, when switching from group 1 to group 2 using
ISO_Next_Group, i3 will re-translate all keybindings (looking at column
2/3, regardless of whether the keybinding itself specifies Mode_switch)
and re-grab them.
That way, the keybinding “bindsym $mod+x nop foo” will work when
pressing $mod+x without Mode_switch and when pressing the corresponding
$mod+x (different key) with Mode_switch. A binding such as “bindsym
Mode_switch+$mod+x nop bar” will still have precedence.
The intention here is to make bindsym keybindings work well with dual
keyboard layouts (such as {dvorak, us} or {us, ru}), so that users can
switch between groups and still have their (logical) keybindings behave
the same way.

If the match expression is a plain number (e.g., '99'), the number of a workspace will be compared strictly. Otherwise, the match expression is taken as a regular expression and compared against the workspace's name.

for_window [workspace="5:foo"] ...
for_window [workspace="foo"] ...

Fix TODO in bindings.c.
There is no problem to use atoi here since either keycode 0 or button0 is invalid.
But strtol is more flexible and is recommanded for conversion.
The format string set with "title_format" can contain the placeholder "%title" which will be replaced with the actual window title.
By not overwriting window->name itself, we make sure that assignment matching still works as expected.
fixes#1723
Try to detect base 16 numbers given to `con_id` and `id` for command criteria
by setting the base of strtol to 0. This should also detect octal.
This is necessary because mouse bindings now may be serialized as hex as of
5c32de4.
The comment immediately following implied that this was the intended
behaviour. Not doing so means that compound commands that both move a
window to a new workspace as well as do something that depends on the
workspace's geometry (e.g. 'move position center' or 'floating enable'
on a tiled window) would use the workspace's calloc'd 0x0+0x0 geometry.
When InputHint is not in WM_HINTS (i.e., the flag is not set), treat the window
as if the InputHint was set (the default behavior). This means that i3 will
focus the window when it becomes managed.

%p is equivalent to either %x or %lx, depending on the pointer size of the

Check if the `connection` of the randr output is
XCB_RANDR_CONNECTION_DISONNECTED and disable the output if it is.
This fixes an issue where the output would not be disabled if the output was
physically unplugged from the machine.
The Makefiles should put binaries in $(EXEC_PREFIX) and
architecture-independent files in $(PREFIX). Also a user may have a
prefixed- pkg-config, as in the case of cross compiling on Exherbo
Linux, so respect the well-accepted $(PKG_CONFIG) variable for this
purpose.
Outputs may disappear momentarily and come back later.
To prevent i3 from exit when no output is available momentarily, add a timeout delay_exit_on_zero_displays.
We only support unique marks, so looping over all matched windows must be prevented.
If more than one window is matched, we reject it with an error message.
fixes#1614
Introduce a config directive "show_marks [yes|no]" to en- or disable drawing marks on window decorations.
To not change the look & feel of existing configurations, the default is "no".
If a window has a mark set, e.g., "example", it will be printed on the right side of the window decorations.
The format is "[example]" and the name of the window is truncated if necessary.
Marks starting with an underscore ("_") will be ignored.
When a window receives a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message, it can steal the focus. This may not be preferable to all users.
With this directive, the user can choose from one of the following:
1) 'smart' - focus the container if its workspace is visible, otherwise set the urgency flag (default)
2) 'urgent' - always set the urgency flag, do not steal focus
3) 'focus' - always switch focus, never set the urgency hint
4) 'none' - ignore the request entirely (do not switch focus, nor set the urgency hint)
fixes#1426
This option allows toggling marks on a window without knowing whether the mark is already set or not.
It behaves as follows:
1) If the matched window has no mark, the new mark is set.
2) If the matched window has another mark, the old mark is removed and the new mark is set.
3) If the matched window already has the mark, the mark is removed.
The behavior that all non-matched windows have this mark removed is kept.

Otherwise, placeholder windows would accumulate these over restarts. The
worst part is that they don’t get dumped properly, meaning an empty

This reverts commit cbd51ce664.

When renaming a workspace on another output that moves the workspace to
the current output, the renamed workspace would be shown even though it
does not contain the focused container.
Explicitly show the focused workspace after the move. This is necessary
because `workspace_move_to_output` will show the workspace that is
moved.
Before this commit, placeholder windows had any matches that were
defined in the JSON file, _followed_ by an i3-internal match that
ensures the placeholder X11 window gets swallowed into the placeholder
i3 container.
The problem was that the first successful match was deleted, and if
users specified a criterion (title=IPython) that matched the placeholder
window itself (name=IPython), then that match is deleted and the
i3-internal match is kept. This results in the actual window the user
wants to match not being swallowed, and the placeholder window not
displaying any criteria.
fixes#1526
If the mouse cursor is hidden (by unclutter, for example), then scrolling
in the window decoration creates an event with a child
(i.e. event->child != XCB_NONE). This causes route_click() to be called
with dest=CLICK_INSIDE, which prevents scrolling through a stacked layout.
To fix this, check if a click is in the window decoration _before_
checking if the event has a child.
Not quite sure why there are so many differences. Perhaps we’ve gotten
out of the habit of running clang-format after every change.
I guess it’d be best to have a travis hook that runs clang-format for us
and reports any problems on pull requests.
input_code is a uint16_t, but xcb_keycode_t is uint8_t, meaning that
only the first byte of input_code is inspected by memmem. On
little-endian platforms, this code would have worked by accident, since
the first byte of input_code represents the 8 least significant bits.
However, on big-endian platforms the first byte is the 8 most
significant bits, which means memmem is scanning bind->translated_to
for the wrong keycode (probably 0).
In order to work correctly on big-endian and little-endian platforms,
simply typecast input_code to an xcb_keycode_t and pass that to memmem.
The observed behaviour associated with this bug is that key bindings
don't work at all. This patch has been tested on an iBook G4 running
OpenBSD -current, and key bindings work properly with this fix applied.
Add support for the _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE client message. This message
enables clients to initiate window moving or resizing. Toolkits like
Gtk3 use this message when the user drags a client-side decorated window
by its title bar. When Gtk detects that the window manager does not
support this client message, it uses a slow fallback implementation.

Add the `--whole-window` switch for mouse bindings. This switch controls
what part of the container the pointer must be over to trigger a mouse
binding. The default is to only trigger mouse bindings over the
titlebars. With this switch, a mouse binding will be triggered over the
main part of the window as well.
This is a breaking change to the previous behavior, which would trigger
a mouse binding with a modifier over any part of the window.

This effectively reverts commit 250577da, so in case this commit causes
any problems with Eclipse to resurface, we’ll revert this commit in
favor of 250577da (the Eclipse-related bug fix).
We're going to call parse_configuration() very early if -C is given on
the command line. Instead of the previous "only_check_config", which has
been a global variable, we now simply pass use_nagbar as false if we're
just validating.
This causes the whole parsing to run without X and of course without
starting nagbar and displaying the errors to standard out/error instead.
The return code of parse_configuration() is now a boolean which
represents whether an error occured during parsing and the programs exit
code is returned accordingly.
Although the config parser still has a lot of side-effects, we now can
parse without the need to have an XCB connection. A nicer implementation
would be to just set the new font and load it just after we're done
parsing, but to ensure we don't break functionality we just load a dummy
FONT_TYPE_NONE if XCB isn't available. The main reason for going this
route is that it's a bit difficult to test fonts in a distribution
agnostic way without bundling fonts with i3 (or Xdummy to be more
exact).

In normal border style, two horizontal lines are drawn to outline the
bar decoration. The lower line leaves a gap to the left and right to
align with the border. This gap was hardcoded to 2 pixels. Now it
matches the current border width, if any.
In stacked layout, only the bottommost bar is aligned. In tabbed layout,
no gaps are left in order to close the outline and make the notion of a
tab more clear.
Raise a window when cycling focus between floating windows with `focus

This is done by placing the window last in the floating nodes of the
