Generally, the traversal goes: numbered workspaces in order, and then
named workspaces in the order in which they appear in the tree.
Example:
Output 1: Output 2:
1 3 D C 2 4 B A
Traversal: 1, 2, 3, 4, D, C, B, A, 1, ...
Note, after the numbered workspaces, we traverse the named workspaces
from output 1, and then output 2, etc.
This involves:
• Compiling with xcb-util instead of xcb-{atom,aux} (they merged the libraries)
• Not using xcb-{event,property} anymore (code removed upstream)
• Not using the predefined WINDOW, CARDINEL, … atoms (removed upstream)
• Using the new xcb_icccm_* data types/functions instead of just xcb_*
(for example xcb_icccm_get_wm_hints instead of xcb_get_wm_hints)
Also I refactored the atoms to use x-macros.
Please test this! Plug in screens, unplug them, use your video projector,
change resolutions, etc.
To use the assignments, use the following syntax:
workspace <number> [screen <screen>] [name]
Where screen can be one of:
<number> (It is not provided that these numbers stay constant, so use with care)
<x>x<y> (Coordinates where the screen starts, so 1280 will be fine to match the
screen right of the main screen if your main screen is 1280 pixels
width. However, 1281 will not match)
<x>
x<y>
Some examples follow:
workspace 1 screen 0
workspace 1 screen 1
workspace 1 screen 1280x0
workspace 2 screen 1280
workspace 3 screen x0
workspace 3 screen 1 www
workspace 4 screen 0 mail
When you disable a Xinerama screen (think of removing a video projector),
the workspaces of that screen need to be re-assigned to another screen.
Previously, the clients affected by this re-assignment did not get re-
configured, which made them appear on the next screen which got configured
at the position of the old one again if you did not switch to the reassigned
workspace before.
So, to reproduce it:
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --right-of LVDS
move windows to the new workspace
xrandr --output VGA --off
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --right-of LVDS
This fixes ticket #36

Thanks to psychoschlumpf for the hint. Having comments in the headers
makes it easier to get the big picture when not being interested in the
source.
The doxygen file extracts as much as it can into HTML files. Please note
that this is not official/supported documentation, but rather being nice
to people who have to/want to use doxygen (I don’t).
Let me paste the header of the doxygen file:
You can use this file with doxygen to create a pseudo-documentation
automatically from source. doxygen-comments are not used very extensively
in i3, mostly for the reason that it clutters the source code and has no
real use (doxygen’s output looks really ugly).
So, if you want to use it, here you go. This is however not a supported
document, and I recommend you have a look at the docs/ folder or at
http://i3.zekjur.net/ for more, real documentation.
