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 introduces the flag --exclude-titlebar for mouse bindings which
allows bindings like
bindsym --whole-window --border --exclude-titlebar button3 focus
fixes#2347
While defining the same mode usually wouldn't hurt and, in fact, the old behavior
allows to split the definition of a binding mode into several blocks, this
can lead to user errors where they accidentally define a mode twice and don't understand
why the mode behaves a certain way (this has been observed in real life :-)).
There's no good usecase for splitting a single binding mode into multiple blocks, thus
the new behavior is better.
fixes#2615
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
This is a followup to #2049. While we had fixed that bug by only grabbing
buttons 4 and 5 if there is a whole-window binding for that button, this
did not consider buttons higher than 5 as found on many mice.
Therefore, we now ditch the special handling for scrollwheel buttons and
instead do the same for all buttons higher than 3.
fixes#2271
We don't actually need to grab the buttons to fix#2097, but doing so
will cause a freeze due to unreleased events.
We partially revert 6f12f02 which avoids the freeze, but doesn't break
functionality.

Previously, mouse bindings could only be run when a window was present,
by using --whole-window. Such bindings would not work on empty
workspaces. However, this is a valid usecase for bindings like
bindsym $mod+button4 workspace prev
bindsym $mod+button5 workspace next
Hence, we need to grab the root window as well and run bindings on it.
fixes#2097
This reverts commit 9692c1498b.
That commit accidentally defaulted to group mask 1, but the default
should be to match any group mask, so that having multiple layouts
loaded at the same time works.
fixes#2062
With this patch, we only grab the scrollwheel buttons (4 and 5) when
managing a window if a whole window key binding exists for these buttons.
This allows both of these usecases:
- Bindings to scrollwheel buttons using --whole-window (see #1701).
- Scrolling in a window without focusing it if no such binding
exists (see #2049).
Furthermore, we drop all button grabs and regrab them after a config
reload in order to reevaluate the new bindings correctly.
fixes#2049
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
1). See the issue #1926. For example, the second keybinding is not detected as a duplicate:
bindcode Mod4+24 sticky toggle
bindsym Mod4+q focus parent
2). To fix it, check duplicated bindings when translating the keysym to keycodes.
Reordering once (as we did it before this commit) would only sort the
bindings by the _first_ bit of their event_state_mask, but we need to
sort them by _all_ bits of their event_state_mask.
fixes#1870
fixes#1835
This commit improves the translation of keysyms to keycodes by loading
keymaps using libxkbcommon-x11 and using libxkbcommon for figuring out
the keymap, depending on each keybinding’s modifiers. This way, the
upper layers of complex layouts are now usable with i3’s bindsym
directive, such as de_neo’s layer 3 and higher.
Furthermore, the commit generalizes the handling of different XKB
groups. We formerly had support only for two separate groups, the
default group 1, and group 2. While Mode_switch is only one way to
switch to group 2, we called the binding option Mode_switch. With this
commit, the new names Group1, Group2 (an alias for Mode_switch), Group3
and Group4 are introduced for configuring bindings. This is only useful
for advanced keyboard layouts, such as people loading two keyboard
layouts and switching between them (us, ru seems to be a popular
combination).
When grabbing keys, one can only specify the modifier mask, but not an
XKB state mask (or value), so we still dynamically unbind and re-bind
keys whenever the XKB group changes.
The commit was manually tested using the following i3 config:
bindsym Group4+n nop heya from group 4
bindsym Group3+n nop heya from group 3
bindsym Group2+n nop heya from group 2
bindsym n nop heya
bindsym shift+N nop explicit shift binding
bindsym shift+r nop implicit shift binding
bindcode Group2+38 nop fallback overwritten in group 2 only
bindcode 38 nop fallback
…with the following layout:
setxkbmap -layout "us,ua,ru,de" -variant ",winkeys,,neo" \
-option "grp:shift_caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll" \
-model pc104 -rules evdev
By default (xkb group 1, us layout), pressing “n” will result in the
“heya” message appearing. Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback”
message appearing. “j” is not triggered.
By pressing Shift+CapsLock you switch to the next group (xkb group 2, ua
layout). Pressing “a” will result in the “fallback overwritten in group
2 only” message, pressing “n” will still result in “heya”. “j” is not
triggered.
In the next group (xkb group 3, ru layout), pressing “a” will result in
the “fallback” message again, pressing “n” will result in “heya”,
“j” is not triggered.
In the last group (xkb group 4, de_neo layout), pressing “a” will still
result in “fallback”, pressing “n” will result in “heya”, pressing “j”
will result in “heya from group 4”.
Pressing shift+n results in “explicit shift binding”, pressing shift+r
results in “implicit shift binding”. This ensures that keysym
translation falls back to looking at non-shift keys (“r” can be used
instead of ”R”) and that the order of keybindings doesn’t play a role
(“bindsym n” does not override “bindsym shift+n”, even though it’s
specified earlier in the config).
The fallback behavior ensures use-cases such as ticket #1775 are still
covered.
Only binding keys when the X server is in the corresponding XKB group
ensures use-cases such as ticket #585 are still covered.
With commit c738b2e454 we changed i3 so
that the default keybindings can be used when ISO_Next_Group is enabled,
but bindings which explicitly use Mode_switch have precedence. This
behavior required the use of bindcode instead of bindsym.
With this commit, when switching from group 1 to group 2 using
ISO_Next_Group, i3 will re-translate all keybindings (looking at column
2/3, regardless of whether the keybinding itself specifies Mode_switch)
and re-grab them.
That way, the keybinding “bindsym $mod+x nop foo” will work when
pressing $mod+x without Mode_switch and when pressing the corresponding
$mod+x (different key) with Mode_switch. A binding such as “bindsym
Mode_switch+$mod+x nop bar” will still have precedence.
The intention here is to make bindsym keybindings work well with dual
keyboard layouts (such as {dvorak, us} or {us, ru}), so that users can
switch between groups and still have their (logical) keybindings behave
the same way.
fixes#1775
Fix TODO in bindings.c.
There is no problem to use atoi here since either keycode 0 or button0 is invalid.
But strtol is more flexible and is recommanded for conversion.
%p is equivalent to either %x or %lx, depending on the pointer size of the
platform. Before this commit, we always used %d, which has the same behavior
on Linux, but is not automatically expanded to %ld on e.g. FreeBSD.
fixes#1661
input_code is a uint16_t, but xcb_keycode_t is uint8_t, meaning that
only the first byte of input_code is inspected by memmem. On
little-endian platforms, this code would have worked by accident, since
the first byte of input_code represents the 8 least significant bits.
However, on big-endian platforms the first byte is the 8 most
significant bits, which means memmem is scanning bind->translated_to
for the wrong keycode (probably 0).
In order to work correctly on big-endian and little-endian platforms,
simply typecast input_code to an xcb_keycode_t and pass that to memmem.
The observed behaviour associated with this bug is that key bindings
don't work at all. This patch has been tested on an iBook G4 running
OpenBSD -current, and key bindings work properly with this fix applied.
