This patch correctly determines the previously focused workspace on the
target output when moving a workspace to another output. Before, we used
nodes_head for this, which will not actually return the previously focused
workspace, but just the first workspace on that output. Hence, we now use
focus_head instead.
This bug was introduced all the way back in 1e143fea when the feature of
moving workspaces to another output was first implemented.
fixes#2229
This patch introduces a proprietary atom I3_FLOATING_WINDOW which will be
set and maintained for floating windows and removed on tiling containers.
This allows users to select on this atom, e.g., in their compositor
configuration or in utility scripts (without using the IPC).
fixes#2223
This is essentially a revert of daf00a9 which introduced a mechanism
to float workspace containers by wrapping all children into a new
container and floating it.
This caused a bug and there's no good reason (anymore) to allow doing
this in the first place as we don't support floating nested containers.
fixes#2166
We already claim _NET_WM_DESKTOP support in _NET_SUPPORTED since around 2009,
but haven't actually done anything with it. However, especially pagers like
gnome-panel rely on this property to be updated and many tools, like GTK, want
to use the corresponding client messages to make a window sticky, move it
around etc.
This patch implements full support according to the EWMH spec. This means:
* We set the property on all windows when managing it.
* We keep the property updated on all windows at all times.
* We read and respect the property upon managing a window if it was set before
mapping the window.
* We react to client messages for it.
* We remove the property on withdrawn windows.
Note that the special value 0xFFFFFFFF, according to the spec, means that the
window shall be shown on all workspaces. We do this by making it sticky and
float it. This shows it on all workspaces at least on the output it is on.
Furthermore, the spec gives us the freedom to ignore _NET_WM_DESKTOP when
managing a window if we have good reason to. In our case, we give window
swallowing a higher priority since the user would likely expect that and we
want to keep placeholder windows only around for as long as we have to.
However, we do prioritize this property over, for example, startup
notifications.

Commit 287a0b4 introduced a segfault when validating the i3 config
as the root_screen will not be set in this case, causing a null
pointer dereference.
fixes#2144
We now execute the validations when "kill" is executed even if match
criteria are used. This prevents users from killing workspace containers,
which instead kills all clients (as before when not using criteria).
fixes#1761
Previously, if a match specification contained the con_id or con_mark criterion,
all other criteria were ignored. However, a user may want to specify one of
those two unique identifiers and still specify others as well, for example to
match the currently focused window, but only if it has a certain WM_CLASS:
[con_id=__focused__ class=special] kill
We now check all specified criteria.
fixes#2111
This commit fixes#1969 by adding support for matching a window's type
against _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION. The userguide and tests were
updated to reflect this change.
Previously, using a command like
[con_id=foo] kill
would kill the currently focused window because while an error for
not being able to parse the con_id was logged, no further action
was taken, which caused the criterion to be ignored. In this case,
the fallback behavior of using the focused window took over.
For con_id, id and window_type we now reject incorrect values with
an error and abort the command.
fixes#2091
With this patch, we support the special value "0" for _NET_WM_USER_TIME
on a window upon managing it, which indicates that the window shall not
be focused.
fixes#2064
This patch introduces the possibility to specify the tray_output directive
multiple times. All values will be used by i3bar, in the order they are
given.
This way, a single bar configuration can be used for several machines with
internal output names "eDP1" and "LVDS-0" by specifying tray_output for both.
Any external output (e.g., "DP-0") will still not receive the tray. The same
effect can be achieved by using "primary", but forces the user to couple the
tray display to the primary output which may not be desirable behavior.

This patch extends the previously introduced flag --no-auto-back-and-forth
to also apply to
move window to workspace <name>
move window to workspace number <number>
relates to #2028
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).
relates to #2014
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.
relates to #2014
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

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.
When `complete-run.pl` is given `--coverage-testing`, try to generate an
html coverage testing report for the run. This requires i3 to be
compiled with coverage testing support.
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)

Handle changes to the property _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL by reallocating

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.

This reverts commit cbd51ce664.

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.

Copy the binding struct before running it and use this copy to emit the
binding event.
This fixes a crash when the command `reload` is used in a binding when
the binding event is emitted.
The binding event will be triggered when a binding is run as a result of
some a user action. The binding event has the following properties:
change: (str) Currently this will only be "run" but may be expanded in
the future. Included for consistency with other events.
binding: (map) the serialized binding
The "binding" member will have these properties:
input_type: (str) either "keyboard" or "mouse"
input_code: (int) the xcb keycode of the keyboard binding if it was
provided or the mouse button if it is a mouse binding.
symbol: (str) the string representation of the input code
command: (str) the bound command
mods: (list of str) a list of the modifiers that were pressed as string
symbols

lib file for better git history).
Rename the switch `--keep-xdummy-output` to `--keep-xserver-output`.
This switch should now be rarely used because Xephyr requires less set

When a named workspace (i.e., a workspace that has a name that does not
begin with text that can be parsed as an integer greater than or equal
to zero) is represented by the ipc as a workspace json object such as
can be queried with `i3-msg -t get_workspaces`, set the num property to
-1 instead of json null.
This is for convenience of ipc consumers using type-constrained
languages such as C which have difficulty cleanly expressing nullable
integers.
fixes#1368
We're going to call parse_configuration() very early if -C is given on
the command line. Instead of the previous "only_check_config", which has
been a global variable, we now simply pass use_nagbar as false if we're
just validating.
This causes the whole parsing to run without X and of course without
starting nagbar and displaying the errors to standard out/error instead.
The return code of parse_configuration() is now a boolean which
represents whether an error occured during parsing and the programs exit
code is returned accordingly.
Although the config parser still has a lot of side-effects, we now can
parse without the need to have an XCB connection. A nicer implementation
would be to just set the new font and load it just after we're done
parsing, but to ensure we don't break functionality we just load a dummy
FONT_TYPE_NONE if XCB isn't available. The main reason for going this
route is that it's a bit difficult to test fonts in a distribution
agnostic way without bundling fonts with i3 (or Xdummy to be more
exact).

Raise a window when cycling focus between floating windows with `focus

i3 processes changes to WM_CLASS by updating the cached property and

When a window becomes managed, explicitly set the current border width
to the default instead of relying on the default value of -1 to apply
the correct value.
Now that there are two different kinds of default borders, a border
width value of -1 is ambiguous. This can lead to different border widths
effectively being applied when the container changes from tiling to
floating, which is surprising behavior.
This commit extends behavior introduced in this commit to normal
borders:

Users can specify a command to run when a button was pressed on i3bar to

A window may become unmapped on manage when an assignment command unmaps

If a `workspace {N}` or `move to workspace {N}` command is given with N
as a plain number, the workspace of this number is selected for the
context of the command if one exists and there is no workspace with a
name that exactly matches N.
A container selected with criteria should be moved with the `move
[direction]` command, instead of this command always acting on the
focused container.
Since i3 honors the “Globally Active Input” focus model, we need to
explicitly state that we are not using that in our testcases :).
This requires X11::XCB from git to work (commit
71b25dcaafc509e710b8fd7de20c97ac3549fc39).

Since managing a window happens on a MapNotify (which is absent from this
list), the window cannot accept input focus, so we should not try to focus
the window at all.
Fixes an issue with xfce4-notifyd which (correctly) declines focus when
we send WM_TAKE_FOCUS, which puts i3 in a state where i3 focus and X
focus are different when a notification appears.
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW:

This fixes a bug that would not update _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW when focus
changed to an i3 container without a window such as a branch or
workspace content container.
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.
Test 517 was sometimes failing because the command to reset the test
generates a focus event which was not being properly ignored.
Now the correct event should always be tested.
Floating windows already had their own border style, but the width was
the same for all windows.
The configuration directives 'new_window' and 'new_float' can now be
used simultaneously to have different border widths for floating and
tiled windows.
fixes#1244
Implement the configuration option within the bar config directive for
custom workspace numbers with the directive `strip_workspace_numbers
yes`.
This directive strips the workspace name of the number prefix and
delimiter. When the workspace name consists only of the number, it will
default to show the number.
For example:
* "2:5" -> "5"
* "4:$" -> "$"
* "8" -> "8"
This allows customization of i3bar for alternate ordering of workspaces
which has a legitimate use for alternate keyboard layouts such as
Dvorak.

The _NET_CLIENT_LIST property of the root window:
> These arrays contain all X Windows managed by the Window Manager.
Dock clients are not managed windows, so they should not be included in
_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING.
The fullscreen_mode event is a window with the "change" property set to
"fullscreen_mode". This event should be emitted whenever a window enters
or exits fullscreen mode.
This event can be used to turn off dpms off when a window is fullscreen
or display the fullscreen container name in the status line for
instance.
When checking the window type for a resize command, first check to see
if the window property is null before checking whether or not it is a
dock window. The window may be null in the case it is a branch
container.

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
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure where the race condition originates
from, but when making sure that there are no pending events
(which is what sync_with_i3 accomplishes) before warping the pointer, we
have less flaky testsuite runs.
closes#1189
This hopefully increases the reliability of the test. Empty containers

branch container, append or prepend the container to the branch in the
obvious way. If the movement is to the right or downward, insert the
moving container in the first position (i.e., the leftmost or top
position resp.) If the movement is to the left or upward, insert the
moving container in the last position (i.e., the rightmost or bottom
position resp.)
If the direction of movement is different from the orientation of the
branch container, insert the container into the branch after the
focused-inactive container.

before a test begins to (0, 0) to save test developers from related
"gotchas" and reduce multi-monitor test boilerplate.
Split test 514's assertion into three assertions to make it more

Works around an issue which caused this test to fail spurriously because
of pointer-related quirks in the i3 test suite which would sometimes
cause i3 to open on workspace 2 (However, the test is now agnostic to
the initial workspace or output).
When 'move <direction>' is issued in the context of a container that
borders a workspace, and there is no suitable place within this
workspace for which this container can move, move the container to the
closest output in this direction instead.
When focusing/moving to outputs, the method of getting the correct
output for a given container fails if the container in question is
floating and only partially mapped on an output screen. This patch
introduces a fail-safe retrieval of the output for any container.
Adds two files to gitignore.

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.
If the currently focused window is in fullscreen mode, and a new window
is opened with WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN set, the new window now becomes the
new fullscreen window and gains focus.
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.
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.

When moving a fullscreen window to scratchpad with 'move scratchpad', the
focused window would stay fullscreen.
Also, when having a container in fullscreen mode and then focusing a child of
this container and moving it to scratchpad, it would enable fullscreen for
the child window.
This patch fixes both problems, so the scratchpad window is always floating.
_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'.
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.

This makes the moving behavior more consistent. If you want to focus the
workspace you are moving to, just chain the keybinding in your config
file:
bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move workspace 1; workspace 1
