This makes it more clear that the option is meant to be a special
case (it *disables* part of the focus handling). Also, when
initializing the config data structure with zeros, it will get
initialized with the right value.
Furthermore, the config file parser now also accepts various values
which represent "true", not only numbers.
The following new directives have been implemented for the configuration
file:
new_container <default|stacking|tabbed>
new_container stack-limit <cols|rows> <value>
Note that they require using the new lexer/parser, which you can
do by passing -l to i3 when starting.
For example, you can create a mode which will let you resize windows
with some easy to use keys. So, instead of binding a combination
of your homerow and modifiers to resize, like this:
bind Mod4+44 resize right +10
bind Mod4+45 resize right -10
...
You can instead define a new mode:
mode "resize" {
bind 44 resize right +10
bind 45 resize right -10
...
bind 36 mode default
}
bindsym Mod4+r mode resize
So, if you press Mod4+r now, your keybindings will be set to the ones
defined in your resize mode above. You can then use your homerow
(without any other modifier) to resize the current column/row and
press enter to go back to the default mode when you are done.
Note that using this option requires you to enable the new lexer/parser
by passing the -l flag to i3 when starting.
Thanks to Mikael for bringing it to my mind. This change introduces
two new color classes, client.urgent and bar.urgent. By default,
urgent clients are drawn in red (colors by Atsutane).
Use "bindsym" instead of "bind". You have to use the names of keys
as in xmodmap. To get a list of currently bounud symbols, use
xmodmap -pke
Technical quirk: Xlib generated MappingNotify events upon
XkbMapNotify events (from XKB, as the name says). XCB does not yet
have support for XKB, thus we need to select and handle the event
by ourself. Hopefully, this will change in the future.
This implements ticket #42.
Syntax is "set $key value". All further instances of $key will be
replaced with value before parsing each line of the configfile.
Instead of building arrays of colorpixels we can simply use a pointer
to a struct Colortriple. Furthermore, by getting the colorpixels when
loading the configuration, we save a lot of function calls in the
main code.
Thanks to psychoschlumpf for the hint. Having comments in the headers
makes it easier to get the big picture when not being interested in the
source.
The doxygen file extracts as much as it can into HTML files. Please note
that this is not official/supported documentation, but rather being nice
to people who have to/want to use doxygen (I don’t).
Let me paste the header of the doxygen file:
You can use this file with doxygen to create a pseudo-documentation
automatically from source. doxygen-comments are not used very extensively
in i3, mostly for the reason that it clutters the source code and has no
real use (doxygen’s output looks really ugly).
So, if you want to use it, here you go. This is however not a supported
document, and I recommend you have a look at the docs/ folder or at
http://i3.zekjur.net/ for more, real documentation.
