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.

We eagerly marked all KeyRelease bindings as eligible to match without
checking modifiers, while this should only be allowed for the key
binding which actually was pressed.
fixes#915
If there is a client with an urgency hint on another workspace and
switching to this workspace would cause the urgency to be reset (by
moving the focusing to the client), delay the reset by some time. This
gives the user the chance to see it.
This commit adds the possibility to configure the urgency delay timer
duration using the 'force_display_urgency_hint' directive. Also,
documentation and a testcase was added to allow for automated checks of
the intended behavior.
fixes#482
Introducing a new event to subscribe called mode. It's fired up
when i3 changes binding mode (like switching from default to resize).
IPC guide adjusted also.
For the following binding:
# Simulate ctrl+v upon pressing $mod+x
bindsym --release $mod+x exec --no-startup-id xdotool key --clearmodifiers ctrl+v
you can now use either:
1. press $mod, press x, release x, release $mod
2. press $mod, press x, release $mod, release x
fixes#485
The implementation is naive because the user has to generate exactly the
event he specified. That is, if you use this binding:
bindsym --release $mod+x exec import /tmp/latest-screenshot.png
Then it will only be triggered if you hit $mod, hit x, release x,
release $mod. It will not be triggered if you hit $mod, hit x, release
$mod, release x. The reason is that the KeyRelease event in the latter
case will not have the modifier in its flags, so it doesn’t match the
configured binding.

The C compiler will handle (void) as "no arguments" and () as "variadic
function" (equivalent to (...)) which might lead to subtle errors, such
as the one which was fixed with commit 0ea64ae4.
This re-introduces borders around the workspace buttons in i3bar.
No additional pixels will be consumed (you will not lose any space for your
windows).
Fixes: #585
This commit fixes the problem of i3 wrongly grabbing/interpreting (!) some key
bindings. Basically, when you have, say, "bindsym Mod1+4 workspace 4", but you
also have "bindsym Mod1+semicolon focus right" (both are default), and your
keyboard layout has semicolon on Mode_switch + 4, the "workspace 4" keybinding
was shadowed by the "focus right" keybinding, because that also resolves to
semicolon.
So, from now on, i3 will only consider column 0 and 1 for normal bindings and
column 2 and 3 for bindings using Mode_switch (columns as seen in xmodmap
-pke).
After a reload, the drawing parameters for the decorations might
have changed, so we need to invalidate the cache and force a redraw
of the currently visible decorations. Also, don't leak the previous
font when reloading by freeing it before parsing the config.
Abstracted draw_text and predict_text_width into libi3. Use
predict_text_width from libi3 in i3 too. This required tracking
xcb_connection in a xcb_connection_t *conn variable that libi3
expects to be available in i3bar.
The file is now created in /tmp using the process PID and the
username of the user running i3. The restart state file is only
loaded when restarting (the --restart option is appended to the
command line prior to the restart). That means that renaming the
old state file with the ".old" extension is no longer needed.
This "--restart" switch is supposed to be only used by i3. The
"-L" switch can be used to load a layout (and not delete it
afterwards). We unlink the state file after we load it so that
we don't keep cruft in /tmp or try to restart from an old config
file if restart_state is set.
