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).

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.

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 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
1. Allow to use the line continuation, which is indicated by \ before the new line character, in config files.
2. Add a new testcase "247-config-line-continuation.t" for
a). testing line continuation
b). making sure string escaping still works
c). testing line continuations within a string
b). testing line continuations with too many lines
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.
This allows all of the following:
for_window [workspace=5] ...
for_window [workspace="5:foo"] ...
for_window [workspace="foo"] ...
fixes#1769
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.
fixes#1676
* Implement criterion specs just like it is done in the spec for the config
* Declare variables in test case early so the 'my' keyword can be dropped in the actual test cases
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.
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".
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
Handle changes to the property _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL by reallocating
screen space in the dock area when the dock client requests a new
position.
This will allow changes to the bar config directive `position` to be
effective on the `reload` command.
fixes#1294
This introduces a "separator_symbol" property for the i3bar configuration.
If set, the specified string will be used as a separator instead of a vertical line. Since it is an optional configuration, complete backwards compatibility is given.
fixes#1472
This reverts commit cbd51ce664.
If you’ve started using this feature, I’m very sorry, but I think it’s
better to revert it entirely, as it will only cause more problems in the
future as more and more people upgrade and get bitten by this if we
didn’t revert it…
fixes#1536
