Pauli Ervi b41ab04ecd Userguide: Added link from 7.2 to 6.6
The multiple monitors section (7) is probably the most
likely place for someone to go look for how to move
workspaces between monitors (6.6).

Sebastian Ullrich 236f9f45e3 Make "[move] workspace number" accept a default ws name after the ws number 2012-09-22 14:34:05 +02:00
Simon Elsbrock 28104a480c implement delayed urgency hint reset
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

chrysn e15e37f922 fixes #776
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).

Michael Stapelberg de94f6da1a Introduce splith/splitv layouts, remove orientation
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

Michael Stapelberg d266474f97 Remove the terminal option from config.
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

Michael Stapelberg 2ff2a6a315 Implement the urgency hint for windows/workspaces
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).
