This way, when changing focus between outputs, the directional focus
command will focus the focused window within the parent container that
is next in the given direction.
Previously, the next window of the given direction was focused which is
Inconsistent with changing focus inside the same output.
Fixes#1160.
Applied for:
1. '[...] focus' for a floating container raises it to the top.
2. Focusing a window through a focus event raises it to the top.
Fixes#2572
canonicalize_output_name allowed the "primary" special output name to
be canonicalized, thus converting it to the name of whatever output
was the primary output at the time. This caused settings
(specifically, i3bar output and tray_output settings) to be stored as
specific output names, instead of the intended special names whose
referred output may change as the system's configuration (i.e. current
primary output) changes.
Add a check to canonicalize_output_name to return the name as-is if it
is the special name "primary".
This fixes a regression introduced in commit
4e88c10564ca5366c2578908f62ec56625a26718: when attempting to move the
single child of a container in the direction of another output, i3
would move the window to the output, despite the window not being at
the edge of its output, instead of moving it to its parent container.
The bug occurred because the check for moving containers across
outputs with non-default workspace layouts (issue #1603) did not
actually verify that the moved window lies at the edge of the
workspace, despite what its comment said.
Fixes issue #2466.
Makes "assign [<criteria>] workspace number <number>" work in the same
manner as "move to workspace number <number>" instead of assigning the
window to a workspace named "number <number>".
config.spec is modified to expect a 'number' string and an extra
argument is used in cfg_assign.
For workspaces that don't exist yet, workspace_get is used as a
fallback. This also allows the user to assign to "<number> <workspace>"
eg "2: work" and the full name will be used if workspace number 2
doesn't exist yet.
Fixes#2590.
I previously tried to fix the check, but could only come up with a fix which
required removing our module pre-loading, which makes the tests considerably
more expensive. Instead, let’s just remove the check.
$config is never touched after being initially set up.
Not restarting i3 between each test case reduces the runtime of this test by an
order of magnitude.
This introduces memory usage by one copy of the config file, which is an
acceptable trade-off for being able to easily revert data loss.
The default config is 6KB, user configs will be in the same ballpark.

This patch fixes the issue #2802 (https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2802).
1). Revise the state machine for the 'rename workspace' command.
These scenarios are considered:
a). 'rename workspace to to bla'
state transitions: RENAME -> RENAME_WORKSPACE -> RENAME_WORKSPACE_LIKELY_TO -> RENAME_WORKSPACE_LIKELY_TO_NEW_NAME
b). 'rename workspace to tosomething'
state transitions: RENAME -> RENAME_WORKSPACE -> RENAME_WORKSPACE_LIKELY_TO
c). 'rename workspace to to'
state transitions: RENAME -> RENAME_WORKSPACE -> RENAME_WORKSPACE_LIKELY_TO
d). 'rename workspace to bla'
state transitions: RENAME -> RENAME_WORKSPACE -> RENAME_WORKSPACE_LIKELY_TO
e). 'rename workspace bla to foo'
state transitions: RENAME -> RENAME_WORKSPACE -> RENAME_WORKSPACE_TO -> RENAME_WORKSPACE_TO_NEW_NAME
2). Add a test case in 117-workspace.t for the scenario b.
Subset comparison was introduced with the rather large commit
bf3cd41b5d, but I now think we should use
equality.
In other words, the following key binding:
bindsym Mod4+x nop Mod4+x
previously would have been triggered when pressing Mod3+Mod4+x.
Strictly speaking, this is a change of behavior, but it breaks none of our
tests, and using equality instead of subset comparison enables more use-cases.

This patch fixes the issue #2511(https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2511).
1). Memorize the marks, but only call con_mark once the container has finished parsing. (Credit: This is @Airblader's patch.)
2). Add a test case 267-regress-mark-restart.t for regression test to check if mark and restart command crash i3.
This introduces the flag --exclude-titlebar for mouse bindings which
allows bindings like
bindsym --whole-window --border --exclude-titlebar button3 focus

With this PR the 'layout toggle' command can be passed any
combination of valid layout keywords as arguments. They will
be activated one after another each time you issue the command,
advancing from left to right always selecting the layout after
the currently active layout or the leftmost layout if the active
layout is not in the argument list.
This PR also incorporates the feature request from #2476.
This event is triggered when the connection to the ipc is about to
shutdown because of a user action such as with a `restart` or `exit`
command. The `change` field indicates why the ipc is shutting down. It
can be either "restart" or "exit".

This commit introduces proper support for the minimum size on floating
windows by ensuring that it is respected during mapping, later changes as
well as resizes.
Furthermore, this commit fixes minor issues with how the hints are handled

This comes with the intentionally undocumented --disable-randr15 command
line flag and disable-randr15 configuration directive. We will add
documentation before the release if and only if it turns out that users
actually need to use this flag in their setups. Ideally, nobody would
need to use the flag and everything would just keep working, but it’s
better to be safe than sorry.

This tool is similar to xtrace in usage in that it intercepts traffic to
the X server. The motivating feature for writing the tool is its ability
to inject prepared reply messages instead of the server’s reply. In
this particular case, we’ll inject a RRGetMonitors reply to test i3’s
RandR 1.5 code paths.
The added testcase is a noop for now, but with the code that’s lingering
in the randr15 branch, i3 does actually detect monitors as per the
injected reply:
2016-11-20 21:10:05 - randr.c:__randr_query_outputs:618 -
RandR 1.5 available, querying monitors
2016-11-20 21:10:05 - randr.c:__randr_query_outputs:628 -
1 RandR monitors found (timestamp 0)
2016-11-20 21:10:05 - randr.c:__randr_query_outputs:646 -
name DP3, x 0, y 0, width 3840 px, height 2160 px, width 520 mm,
height 290 mm, primary 1, automatic 1
This is preparation work for issue #1799
We call scratchpad_show() on _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW requests if the request
came from a pager. This is consistent with the i3 »focus« command because
we assume the user requested to see the window, so we do the only
sensible thing.
fixes#2455
Before this commit, i3 only compared the user-specified modifiers and
incorrectly ignored the resolved modifiers (such as the numlock
fallback).
While at it, also fix the testcase which treated numlock as a momentary
modifier, whereas it really is a latched modifier.
fixes#2418
Previously, we always discarded the NumLock bit when looking up key
bindings for key press events, and we always grabbed every keycode with
and without the NumLock modifier.
With this commit, the NumLock bit is no longer discarded: since the
previous commit 3bd5e6e5c8 we can
correctly look up key bindings with/without the NumLock bit, as both
variants are stored in |keycodes_head|.
Further, before adding the NumLock fallback (resulting in grabbing the
keycode with the NumLock modifier), we now check whether the key has the
same meaning when NumLock is enabled. This correctly distinguishes the
KP_End vs. KP_1 case, i.e. one can now use the following key bindings:
# No longer accidentally triggered when pressing KP_1.
bindsym KP_End nop KP_End
# Properly distinguished now:
bindsym KP_End nop KP_End
bindsym Mod2+KP_1 nop KP_1
fixes#2346
Use case:
* When managing multiple terminals in a workspace, the borders makes it easier
to know where the focus is, but when there is only one it's obvious where the
focus is.
* When there's only a web browser for example, the borders are actually counter-
productive since it makes clicking a side scrollbar or a tab a bit harder (if I
smash my cursor to the side or the top of the workspace, I have to move it in
the other direction by just a few pixels to be able to grab it)
Behaviour:
* No borders when there's a single window in a workspace
* Borders when there are multiple windows in a workspace
fixes#2188
This patch introduces a new 'set_from_resource' config directive which
allows defining a variable by retrieving its value from the X resource
database. This avoids having to configure a color scheme in multiple
files. The directive takes an additional fallback value which is used
in case the resource cannot be found or during config validation where
no X connection is available.
Furthermore, this patch includes the following changes:
- If the same variable is defined twice, we now properly overwrite the
value of the assignment rather than inserting two variable definitions
with the same key.
- We now depend on xcb-util-xrm to query the resource.
- Increase the buffer size for variable / resource assignments.
fixes#2130
With this change, multi-monitor presentations (e.g. as implemented by
LibreOffice Impress) work out of the box. Previously, one had to move
the presentation windows to the right outputs oneself.
If a user reloads the config while in some binding mode, the binding mode
will revert to the default, but no event will ever be fired, causing a
broken i3bar mode display.
This patch explicitly reverts to the default binding mode before reloading
the config. We reload rather than switch to the binding mode after having
reloaded the config because there's no guarantee that mode will even still
exist.
fixes#2228
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

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

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).

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.

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.
