According to 4.1.7 of the iccm spec
http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#s-4.1.7
> Windows with the atom WM_TAKE_FOCUS in their WM_PROTOCOLS property may
> receive a ClientMessage event from the window manager (as described in
> section 4.2.8) with WM_TAKE_FOCUS in its data[0] field and a valid
> timestamp (i.e. not CurrentTime ) in its data[1] field.
Adds the timestamp parameter to send_take_focus to avoid the dangerous
use of a global variable.
Windows that match the following criteria are floated by default:
- dialog, utility, toolbar, or splash windows,
- modal windows, or
- windows that have specified equal minimum and maximum size.
closes#1182
Rename `get_binding` to `get_keyboard_binding` and ensure that this
function only accesses bindings of type B_KEYBOARD. Other types of
bindings (e.g. mouse bindings) will be accessed by a different function.
This patch fixes ticket #1168 to extend the window IPC event mechanism
to send IPC events for window focus and title changes. The newly added
window events use the same format as the already established "new"
event.
Specifically this patch:
* Moves the ipc_send_window_event() function from src/manage.c into
src/ipc.c and adds an argument for the change property of the event
* Updates src/manage.c to use the new function signature. To ensure
that the "new" event does not send the same event data as the
"focus" event, setting focus now happens after the "new" event
has been sent
* Adds IPC focus event notification to src/x.c. To workaround a problem
during window close when accessing the window name, a function has been
added to query whether a window is actually attached to its parent. To
avoid obsolete focus notification, a new field has been added to keep
track of the focus without any interference by the click handling
* Adds IPC title event notification to src/handlers.c. To avoid
obsolete title notification, a function has been added to determine
whether a window title has actually changed
* Updates the IPC documentation to include the new events
* Updates testcases/t/205-ipc-windows.t to include the "focus" event
in order to ensure the correct event sequence
* Adds two new unit tests, b/testcases/t/219-ipc-window-focus.t and
b/testcases/t/220-ipc-window-title.t to ensure proper "focus" and
"title" events
Create files bindings.[ch] to contain functions for configuring,
finding, and running bindings.
Use the new function `configure_binding` for binding configuration. This
function adds a binding from config parameters.
Export the function `modifiers_from_str` from config_directives.h.
This change is made in preparation for the new bindmouse functionality.
When the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property of a window specifies it should have
no title bar, or no decorations at all, respond by setting the border
style of that container to BS_PIXEL or BS_NONE respectively.
This comes from the old Motif window manager. It was originally intended
to specify exactly what sort of decorations a window should have, and
exactly what sort of user input it should respond to. The EWMH spec
intended to replace Motif hints with _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE, but it is
still in use by popular widget toolkits such as GTK+ and Java AWT.
i3's implementation simply mirrors Gnome's Metacity. Official
documentation of this hint is nowhere to be found.
For more information see:

Make sure the command `move <direction>` properly sends the workspace
focus ipc event required for i3bar to be properly updated and redrawn.
Make `ipc_send_workspace_focus_event publicly available from ipc.h for
more flexible event sending.
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 avoids flooding stdout every time some text (e.g. a window
decoration) is drawn, yet leaves the message in place when it’s actually
relevant (upon DPI changes).
fixes#1115
This is done by installing a new check watcher that replaces the main
X11 event handler and calling ev_run with EVRUN_ONCE until the dragging
loop left state DRAGGING.
With this commit, other handlers, most notably the redraw handler for
placeholder windows, get a chance to run when dragging (placeholder!)
windows around.
Since the macro PATH_MAX is not defined on every system (GNU/Hurd being
one of those who do not define it), we remove all references to this
macro. Instead, we use a buffer of arbitraty size and grow it when
needed to contain paths.
This removes code duplication, which will be useful for a subsequent
commit.
Furthermore, we now don’t open X11 connections unnecessarily in some
corner cases.
Add DRAG_ABORT to enum drag_result_t. DRAG_ABORT will indicate the drag
operation cannot be completed.
Return DRAG_ABORT on UnmapNotify, or when the keyboard or pointer cannot
be grabbed.
Add DRAGGING to return value for drag_result_t. DRAGGING is used
internally by drag_pointer to indicate the drag is in progress.
Change DRAG_CANCEL to DRAG_REVERT to clarify the distinction between
"abort" and "revert/cancel" actions.
Fixes an issue that caused i3 to crash when a user is dragging or
resizing a floating window that becomes destroyed.
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.
This reverts commit 0659a0d98c.
It was a fix for dzen2 setups, but broke several other use cases.
Because dzen2 is not really important since most people use i3bar
nowadays, let’s revert this.

This ClientMessage can be used to estimate how big the window will be
before opening it. Java always sends the ClientMessage and checks the
atom that should be set by the window manager, but it seems that the
fallback code path has a race condition.
Let’s see if the situation gets better with this change. I have been
running this patch for about two weeks and have not seen any issues with
it.
fixes#934fixes#709
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.
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
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.
fixes#833, #651
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.
Note that this is ineffective for dunst’s notifications because dunst
re-raises them as soon as they get obscured. It does work for dzen2
however, which was the original use-case.
fixes#569
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.
_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION indicates that some action in or with
the window happened. It's a weaker hint than urgency flag of WM_HINTS,
but some applications and almost all Qt applications use it instead of
WM_HINTS' urgency flag (one example is Skype).
Added new event id (I3_IPC_EVENT_WINDOW) so that a an IPC client can
subscribe to events on windows. Added a basic window event that gets
triggered when a window gets successfully reparented. This new event
also dumps the container data, so that IPC clients can get the initial
window name. IPC clients wishing to see window events should subscribe
to 'window'.
