The user's guide talks about renaming workspaces, for example to
"2: mail", and a sample key binding for use with i3-input is supplied.
However, this example lacks proper quoting for the format string, so
that when workspace name with a space in it, like "2: mail", is given,
the current workspace is renamed to "2:". This patch adds proper
quoting.
i3 current behavior hides the binding mode indicator when
workspace buttons are disabled.
This patch adds a new configuration for i3bar called
'binding_mode_indicator' which acts like the workspace_buttons.
It is now possible to configure i3bar to hide the
workspace buttons and keep showing the binding mode indicator.
This should make the hide workspace buttons configuration
more convenient for those who are heavily using binding
modes.
Default value for binding_mode_indicator is true.
Add debuglog command that takes toggle|on|off. Add get_debug_logging()
to be able to toggle. Make t/187-commands-parser.t expect 'debuglog'.
Document the debuglog command in userguide.
• the section heading needs === instead of ==
• better title
• explain what shared memory logging does and where to find more
information
• add syntax section
• improve examples
• clarify that shmlog <size> discards the current log
Add shmlog command that takes <size>|toggle|on|off. Separate logbuffer
management into open_logbuffer() and close_logbuffer(). Make
t/187-commands-parser.t expect 'shmlog'. Add update_shmlog_atom() to
update the SHMLOG_PATH. Document the shmlog command in userguide.
The hidden_state and mode of each i3bar instance can now be controlled from within i3.
Therefore, two new i3 command were introduced:
_
bar hidden_state show|hide|toggle [<bar_id>]
show: always show the bar
hide: normal hide mode
toggle: toggle between show and hide (individually for each bar)
_
bar mode dock|hide|invisible|toggle [<bar_id>]
hide,dock: like before
invisible: always keep the bar hidden
toggle: toggle between dock and hide (individually for each bar)
This patch introduces a hidden_state ("hidden_state hide|show") in the
barconfig, which indicates the current hidden_state of each i3bar
instance. It only affects the bar when in hide mode. Additionally, a new
invisible mode was introduced. In order to change the hidden_state or
mode of the bar from i3, a barconfig-update event was introduced, for
which a bar can subscribe and the bar then gets notified about the
currently set hidden_state and mode in its barconfig.
For convenience, an id field ("id <bar_id>") was added to the barconfig, where one can
set the desired id for the corresponding bar. If the id is not specified, i3 will
deterministically choose an id; otherwise, with the previous random approach for finding
a new id, which is actually not shared with i3bar, as it would determine its id on
startup, the event-subscription would be destroyed on reload. Still, this issue remains
when manually changing the bar_id in the config and then reloading.

This patch adds the following features:
1) Configure a color of the separator via config. It is done like
bar {
colors {
separator #000000
}
}
2) A block can have an integer entry "separator_block_width" which
sets the width of the gap which would follow after the current block.
3) A block can have a boolean entry "separator" and if it is set
to false, then the drawing of the separating line would be disabled.
The corresponding command is 'rename workspace to <name>'. As a side-effect
this fixes the command 'rename workspace 1 to to'.

With this commit, the default behavior is to display popups while there
is a fullscreen application only if the popup belongs to that
application (as determined by the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint which
applications have to set properly).
fixes#663
If there is a client with an urgency hint on another workspace and
switching to this workspace would cause the urgency to be reset (by
moving the focusing to the client), delay the reset by some time. This
gives the user the chance to see it.
This commit adds the possibility to configure the urgency delay timer
duration using the 'force_display_urgency_hint' directive. Also,
documentation and a testcase was added to allow for automated checks of
the intended behavior.
fixes#482
this implements both the "move container to workspace back_and_forth" command
and movements to the same workspace when auto_back_and_forth is set.
it includes documentation and test suite additions by michael.
it also simplifies the workspace_show_by_name function (making use of
workspace_get accepting NULL pointers).
With this commit, the "default" layout is replaced by the splith and
splitv layouts. splith is equivalent to default with orientation
horizontal and splitv is equivalent to default with orientation
vertical.
The "split h" and "split v" commands continue to work as before, they
split the current container and you will end up in a split container
with layout splith (after "split h") or splitv (after "split v").
To change a splith container into a splitv container, use either "layout
splitv" or "layout toggle split". The latter command is used in the
default config as mod+l (previously "layout default"). In case you have
"layout default" in your config file, it is recommended to just replace
it by "layout toggle split", which will work as "layout default" did
before when pressing it once, but toggle between horizontal/vertical
when pressing it repeatedly.
The rationale behind this commit is that it’s cleaner to have all
parameters that influence how windows are rendered in the layout itself
rather than having a special parameter in combination with only one
layout. This enables us to change existing split containers in all cases
without breaking existing features (see ticket #464). Also, users should
feel more confident about whether they are actually splitting or just
changing an existing split container now.
As a nice side-effect, this commit brings back the "layout toggle"
feature we once had in i3 version 3 (see the userguide).
AFAIK, it is safe to use in-place restart to upgrade into versions
after this commit (switching to an older version will break your layout,
though).
Fixes#464
Currently it supports the following options:
"oldest": match the first window that triggered an urgent event
"latest": match the last window that triggered an urgent event
This re-introduces borders around the workspace buttons in i3bar.
No additional pixels will be consumed (you will not lose any space for your
windows).
With this commit, i3 will now use either $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/i3 (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
is only writable by the user, so this is not a problem) or a secure temporary
location in /tmp, following the pattern /tmp/i3-<user>.XXXXXX
dzen2 does not get mentioned anymore. They did not release a new version for
more than three years (-dock was added 2008-04-03). I am sick of telling people
they need to check out the latest SVN trunk of dzen2.
The welcome message is displayed using xmessage(1), not using your
terminal. Thus, it makes no sense to have this option anymore. Also,
the new lex/yacc parser cannot correctly handle the situation:
normal variables are expanded before parsing the file. As a replacement,
you can use:
set $terminal /usr/bin/urxvt
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).
Also update documentation (manpage, userguide).
To make the code easier to read/write when checking if a client is
floating, introduce client_is_floating().
