With this commit, the "default" layout is replaced by the splith and
splitv layouts. splith is equivalent to default with orientation
horizontal and splitv is equivalent to default with orientation
vertical.
The "split h" and "split v" commands continue to work as before, they
split the current container and you will end up in a split container
with layout splith (after "split h") or splitv (after "split v").
To change a splith container into a splitv container, use either "layout
splitv" or "layout toggle split". The latter command is used in the
default config as mod+l (previously "layout default"). In case you have
"layout default" in your config file, it is recommended to just replace
it by "layout toggle split", which will work as "layout default" did
before when pressing it once, but toggle between horizontal/vertical
when pressing it repeatedly.
The rationale behind this commit is that it’s cleaner to have all
parameters that influence how windows are rendered in the layout itself
rather than having a special parameter in combination with only one
layout. This enables us to change existing split containers in all cases
without breaking existing features (see ticket #464). Also, users should
feel more confident about whether they are actually splitting or just
changing an existing split container now.
As a nice side-effect, this commit brings back the "layout toggle"
feature we once had in i3 version 3 (see the userguide).
AFAIK, it is safe to use in-place restart to upgrade into versions
after this commit (switching to an older version will break your layout,
though).
Fixes#464
e.g. pressing Mod1+x when having the following in your configfile:
bindsym Mod1+x some invalid command
will lead to an i3-nagbar instance popping up, offering you to view the
error log (which will contain parser errors from this commit on).
This workaround is necessary for terminal emulators which parse -e in a
different way: some accept a list of arguments (-e command arg1 arg2 …),
some accept only one argument (-e "command arg1 arg2 …"). Therefore, we
just create a script and pass that as the one and only argument.
CPPFLGES, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS should be user variables
We now provide default flags but use I3_*FLAGS flags for our own needed
flags
Also reoder lib flags a bit
In certain situations (when you have a h-split within a h-split) you
couldn’t properly resize previously. This commit makes the resize
command properly traverse up the containers.
fixes#754
This fixes a race condition when running the tests. I think that the X11
server has more time to clean up the resources when we do an explicit
disconnect. The symptom I was seeing was that sometimes, i3 couldn’t
become the window manager on one of the Xdummy instances.
Depending on the memory layout, it could happen that bind->command was
exchanged with something else while the parser still accessed it.
Therefore, we now copy the command and let the parser use that copy.
When moving window from other (not current) workspace to another
workspace with criteria we should stay on current workspace.
And we should exit early when criteria was specified but didn't
match any window.
This is now restricted according to the already defined fullscreen
focus constraints. Test case 157 was removed, as we don't prevent
level up/down in fullscreen anymore. Those commands are properly
tested in fullscreen by test case 156.
Fixes: #612
Basically, a focus change can't escape a fullscreen container. The
only exception is per-output fullscreen containers, as you should
be able to focus a container in a different workspace in this case.
This is an improvement on 4eab046e, now considering the difference
between global and per-output fullscreen and taking the tree
structure into account to determine what escaping the fullscreen
container means. It only affects targeted focus commands in the
form "for_window [...] focus", but it lays the foundation for
forthcoming fixes to all other focus commands.
If the target is in a different workspace, there's no reason why
we wouldn't allow the user to focus it. We already allow this when
focusing a workspace, for example.
calling workspace by number now also checks for switching back and forth
and creates a new workspace if no workspace starting with that number is
found
also removed the obsolete tree_render() in favor of setting
cmd_output->needs_tree_render to true
When calculating coordinates we should multiply at first otherwise
we lose precision when i3 is compiled without sse2 support.
The following code prints "Res1: 348 Res2: 349" when compiled with
-O0 -mno-sse2 and "Res1: 349 Res2: 349" with -O0 -msee2.
Note that -msse2 is default flag on 64bit OSes.
int main() {
double a = 349.0 / 768;
double b = 349.0 * 768;
int res1 = a * 768;
int res2 = b / 768;
printf("Res1: %d Res2: %d\n", res1, res2);
return 0;
}
Thanks guys for helping me to hunt down this one.

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 fixes focus problems with Eclipse. Apparently, Eclipse waits for getting
notified about the focus, and since it used non-managed windows, i3 didn’t care
to update the focus.
Fixes: #621, #675
Fixes: #668
Calling tree_close with dont_kill_parent=true will avoid it from closing the
workspace if it’s empty (and it’s temporarily empty, because 'floating disable'
detaches, then re-attaches the window).
Initially I thought using the second precision time() function is good enough,
but to make t/113-urgent.t considerably faster (>2s vs. 0.08s), we put in a
little more effort and use gettimeofday. Otherwise, this test blocks the whole
testsuite from completing much faster on modern machines :).
This change has two implications:
1) tree_render() will now be called precisely once for input which consists of
multiple commands (like "focus left; focus right"). Also, the caller of
parse_command() has to call it. This makes us able to fix tickets such as
ticket #608 (where multiple tree_render() calls are noticable).
2) The output of a command is now a JSON array of return values of the
individual subcommands. In the case of "focus left; focus right", this is:
[{"success":true}, {"success":true}]
While this is incompatible with what i3 returned before, the return value of
commands was undocumented and therefore not subject to our API stability.
You need to specify the --enable-32bit-visual flag when starting i3. This is
done because everything feels sluggish on my system when using a 32 bit visual
instead of a 24 bit visual. Fast > fancy.
Fixes floating containers seemingly showing up in the wrong
workspace after moving workspaces containing floating containers.
We must *always* fix the coordinates of floating containers when
moving workspaces across outputs. That's because the coordinates
of floating containers are *not* relative to the workspaces.
Currently it supports the following options:
"oldest": match the first window that triggered an urgent event
"latest": match the last window that triggered an urgent event
If you had workspace 1, 2, 3, 4 on LVDS1 and you enabled HDMI2 (where workspace
1 to workspace 5 are assigned to HDMI2), i3 would look for a new workspace for
LVDS1 (since all workspaces were moved), create workspace 5, move that over due
to assignment and then create workspace 6. Effectively, you would end up with
an empty workspace 5.
Fixes a bug where splitting then moving in the other orientation
(e.g. v-splitting and moving right) would result in the old
indicators not disappearing.
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).
This fixes problems with the Oracle JRE7, which checks the current focus after
receiving WM_TAKE_FOCUS and just does nothing when the focus is on one of its
windows. Hopefully it doesn’t introduce any regressions :).
On the rationale of using a custom parser instead of a lex/yacc one, see this
quote from src/commands_parser.c:
We use a hand-written parser instead of lex/yacc because our commands are
easy for humans, not for computers. Thus, it’s quite hard to specify a
context-free grammar for the commands. A PEG grammar would be easier, but
there’s downsides to every PEG parser generator I have come accross so far.
This parser is basically a state machine which looks for literals or strings
and can push either on a stack. After identifying a literal or string, it
will either transition to the current state, to a different state, or call a
function (like cmd_move()).
Special care has been taken that error messages are useful and the code is
well testable (when compiled with -DTEST_PARSER it will output to stdout
instead of actually calling any function).
During the migration phase (I plan to completely switch to this parser before
4.2 will be released), the new parser will parse every command you send to
i3 and save the resulting call stack. Then, the old parser will parse your
input and actually execute the commands. Afterwards, both call stacks will be
compared and any differences will be logged.
The new parser works with 100% of the test suite and produces identical call
stacks.
The problem was that the workspace was considered empty for a brief period of
time when entering floating mode. This happened when you assigned Gimp to a
workspace which is not in use yet.
With this commit, i3 will now use either $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/i3 (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
is only writable by the user, so this is not a problem) or a secure temporary
location in /tmp, following the pattern /tmp/i3-<user>.XXXXXX
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.
Also prints out useful stuff:
CORE DUMPS: You are running a development version of i3, so coredumps were
automatically enabled (ulimit -c unlimited).
CORE DUMPS: Your current working directory is "/home/michael/i3".
CORE DUMPS: Your core_pattern is: /tmp/%e.core.%p
i3 (tree) version 4.0.2-479-g26ab2ac (2011-11-08, branch "next") starting
This does not affect child processes of i3.
The intention of this change is to make debugging easier – it’s one less thing
users of the development version have to worry about when trying to help with
debugging.
Fixes#533
The problem was that the code was always executed. While it *attaches* the new
container to the workspace container, it also sets current = NULL and thus
always appends the container instead of inserting it after the currently
focused child. So now, we just don’t execute that code at all for
workspace_layout == default.
Following bug:
1) Assign workspace 9 to output HDMI2
2) On HDMI2, be on workspace 1
3) Focus a different output, say LVDS1
4) Execute i3 'workspace 9'
5) Something happens, but you end up back on ws 1
(this is due to an EnterNotify being generated when warping)
This means you can now specify an amount of pixels for the move command. The
default is 10. Note that this of course only works for floating windows.
Example:
move left 20 px
Previously, we'd only close an empty workspace when we moved away
from it. Now we also close it when the last client exits, as long
as that workspace is not visible anymore.
Also, the API changed a bit. There are two functions now, both assume you
already got the keysyms (which is the case for i3 and i3-config-wizard),
one gets the modifier mapping for you (aio_get_mod_mask_for) while the other
assumes you also got that. No roundtrips are required for the latter.
i3bar previously used get_colorpixel on strings without the leading # (ff0000
instead of #ff0000). Since it uses libi3’s get_colorpixel now we needed to
update a few places.
Some of them are useless nowadays, others very unlikely to be a problem.
Those which might still be interesting somewhen in the future are just
commented out.
This fixes a problem with workspace assignments.
I tested i3 -C with three user configs (Thanks SardemFF7, julien, xeen)
and did not notice any problems.
localtime_r does not have the side-effect of behaving like it called tzset(),
in particular it will save one stat(/etc/localtime) syscall. This is not a big
deal, but it makes the strace output cleaner and thus more useful :).
Comment in the code makes the fix clear, I think.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1) On the right monitor, open two terminals (h-split workspace)
2) 'i3 mark foo' on the right terminal
3) Focus the left terminal
4) Switch to the left monitor
5) i3 '[con_mark="foo"] focus'
6) the left window will contain the pointer (and is focused for a short period
of time, or even permanently due to race conditions)
From i3 --help:
If you pass plain text arguments, i3 will interpret them as a command
to send to a currently running i3 (like i3-msg). This allows you to
use nice and logical commands, such as:
i3 border none
i3 floating toggle
i3 kill window
In order to not depend on X11 just for getting the socket paths, scripts or
other programs can now use i3 --get-socketpath. Since i3 must be present on the
computer anyways, this saves one dependency :).
The former two provide fallbacks in case $PAGER or $EDITOR is not set (which
might be more common than you think, because they have to be set in
~/.xsession, not in the shell configuration!) while the latter tries to launch
a terminal emulator. The scripts are most prominently used in i3-nagbar, which
alerts the user when the configuration is broken for some reason. Also,
i3-sensible-terminal is used in the default configuration.
This commit does not rely on the shell supporting ${PAGER:-less} anymore, which
is not the case for 'fish'.
This is mainly useful for the testsuite. The tests can wait until i3 processed
all X11 events and then continue. This eliminates sleep() calls which leads to
a more robust and faster testsuite.
The configuration option does the same as the commandline parameter, except
it can be easily set by the user (e.g. you are using KDM and can't start a
session through ~/.xsession).

This commit makes the coordinates proportional when moving floating windows.
That is, if you have a window at the bottom of your 1920 px monitor and move it
to your 800 px monitor, it will be at the bottom of the 800 px monitor (and not
out of bounds).
My testcase was putting a floating window on the left output, but overlapping a
little to the right output. Then switch to a workspace on the right output.
From the source:
We need ev >= 4 for the following code. Since it is not *that* important
(it only makes sure that there are no i3-nagbar instances left behind) we
still support old systems with libev 3.
