Before this fix, you could go upwards and select the screen which
was at the rightmost because it also was the one topmost (if all
screen’s top position is equal).
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
Use bn (normal), bp (1-px), bb (borderless) as commands to change the
border style of the currently focused window. Feel free to use i3-msg
to do this.
Also update documentation (manpage, userguide).
To make the code easier to read/write when checking if a client is
floating, introduce client_is_floating().
Details which are missing: A command to hide/show all floating clients,
moving/resizing clients with your mouse holding Mod1 (click anywhere
in the client, not just on its borders), resize/move by keyboard, select
next/previous client by keyboard
Killing a dock client and having destroyed workspace 1 before (or the workspace
on which the dock client was started when it was not auto-started) crashed i3 before
this bugfix.
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
However, it is a bit more flexible obviously. You can specify the
offset of the window you want to go to, to implement workflows like
the following:
* Jump to mutt
* Jump to irssi
* Jump back ("focus 2" would be the command)
Syntax is "jump <ws> <row> <col>".
This is quite handy for clients that you always keep
in the same spot, and like to jump to quite often. The
irc client would be an example.
