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.
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"] ...

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
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.
fixes#1429
This should be the last commit that formats a big bunch of files. From
here on, whenever I merge patches, I’ll run clang-format like described
in the title.
This patch adds a new configuration option "mouse_warping [output|none]".
When mouse warping is disabled, mouse cursor does not jump to middle of current
screen when changing workspaces between multiple outputs. This introduces a
"special" cursor state, where focus is in one window and cursor on another.
Useful for eg. scrolling a web page with mouse wheel while typing into another
window on keyboard.
Workspace assignments with bare numbers assign all workspaces with that
number to the specified output.
Workspace assignment by number is overridden by workspace assignment by
name.
Change the primary binding accessor to `get_binding_from_xcb_event`.
This function gets a binding from a generic xcb event of type KeyPress,
KeyRelease, ButtonPress, or ButtonRelease by determining the input type
(keyboard or mouse), the modifiers pressed from the filtered event
`state`, managing the proper fall back in case mode switch is enabled,
and finally querying the bindings for a binding that matches the event.
The logic of querying keyboard bindings is not intended to be altered by
this change.
The general accessor has been slightly modified to work with mouse
bindings and made private because it is only used in bindings.c
An input type of B_KEYBOARD will indicated this binding was created with
"bindsym", "bindcode", or "bind" and should only run on key press
events.
An input type of B_MOUSE will indicate this binding was created with
"bindmouse" and should only run on button press events (not yet
implemented).
For more information see #558.
This commit only goes to “next” because I am not sure whether it
actually makes things better in all cases and want to give it some
testing first.
There was no documented reason behind using the
proportional_{width,height} variables, so I suppose that code was just
stupidity on my part (it was written merely a month after I started this
project in 2009).
fixes#1032
In order to distinguish split layouts from tabbed/stacking layouts when
only one window is shown, do not draw the indicator border for tabbed or
stacking layouts.
What I do in this patch is:
1. Split the con_new() function, so I can create a Con without actually
create a window.
2. Store the depth of Cons in the layout file when i3 is restarting.
Fix typos and mis-staged files in previous patch.
This change ensures a scratchpad window is still centered on the screen
if it has first been shown on another screen of a different
resolution. Moving or resizing the scratchpad manually disables this
behavior.
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
Before commit 4976fa3350, setting the
layout of workspaces to something else than the default would just mess
up the parent container of the workspace (the content container).
After that commit, it would create an unnecessary split container when
you change the layout _before_ opening any containers. To avoid this, we
now store the layout (similar to how the 'workspace_layout'
configuration directive works) and apply it when the first container is
attached to the workspace.
Fixes#796
For the following binding:
# Simulate ctrl+v upon pressing $mod+x
bindsym --release $mod+x exec --no-startup-id xdotool key --clearmodifiers ctrl+v
you can now use either:
1. press $mod, press x, release x, release $mod
2. press $mod, press x, release $mod, release x
fixes#485
The implementation is naive because the user has to generate exactly the
event he specified. That is, if you use this binding:
bindsym --release $mod+x exec import /tmp/latest-screenshot.png
Then it will only be triggered if you hit $mod, hit x, release x,
release $mod. It will not be triggered if you hit $mod, hit x, release
$mod, release x. The reason is that the KeyRelease event in the latter
case will not have the modifier in its flags, so it doesn’t match the
configured binding.
This changes the fact that Firefox would not be launched on the correct
workspace because it marked the startup sequence as completed *before*
actually mapping all of its windows.
To test this, go to workspace 3 and run this command in a terminal:
i3-msg 'exec iceweasel; workspace 4'
That will make i3 start iceweasel (and create a proper startup
notification context for it), then immediately switch to workspace 4
(before iceweasel could possibly start).
The iceweasel window(s) should appear on workspace 3.
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
Initially I thought using the second precision time() function is good enough,
but to make t/113-urgent.t considerably faster (>2s vs. 0.08s), we put in a
little more effort and use gettimeofday. Otherwise, this test blocks the whole
testsuite from completing much faster on modern machines :).
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
