I consider this behavior broken and not respecting the standard, but it
happens in real life, and it’s better for i3 to not busy-loop in such a
situation :).
fixes#1259
When `focus_follows_mouse` option is on, prevent an uneeded render on
pointer enter when the con is already focused.
This pointer enter might be caused by entering a window decoration of an
already-focused container.
This extra render can cause concurrency issues when focus is set
asynchronously with WM_TAKE_FOCUS.
Add run_binding function to bindings.h.
> Runs the given binding and handles parse errors. Returns a
> CommandResult for running the binding's command. Caller should render
> tree if needs_tree_render is true. Free with command_result_free().
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW:
> The window ID of the currently active window or None if no window has
> the focus.
This fixes a bug that would not update _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW when focus
changed to an i3 container without a window such as a branch or
workspace content container.
parse_command returns a struct that contains useful information about
the result of a command as a whole (instead of the intermediate
representation used during parsing).
parse_command now requires the caller to allocate the yajl_gen used for
generating a json reply. This is passed as the second parameter to
parse_command. If NULL is passed, no json reply will be generated.
This patch adds a new configuration option "mouse_warping [output|none]".
When mouse warping is disabled, mouse cursor does not jump to middle of current
screen when changing workspaces between multiple outputs. This introduces a
"special" cursor state, where focus is in one window and cursor on another.
Useful for eg. scrolling a web page with mouse wheel while typing into another
window on keyboard.
Workspace assignments with bare numbers assign all workspaces with that
number to the specified output.
Workspace assignment by number is overridden by workspace assignment by
name.
Change the name of structs CommandResult and ConfigResult to
CommandResultIR and ConfigResultIR to show they are an intermediate
representation used during parsing.
Floating windows already had their own border style, but the width was
the same for all windows.
The configuration directives 'new_window' and 'new_float' can now be
used simultaneously to have different border widths for floating and
tiled windows.
fixes#1244
Implement the configuration option within the bar config directive for
custom workspace numbers with the directive `strip_workspace_numbers
yes`.
This directive strips the workspace name of the number prefix and
delimiter. When the workspace name consists only of the number, it will
default to show the number.
For example:
* "2:5" -> "5"
* "4:$" -> "$"
* "8" -> "8"
This allows customization of i3bar for alternate ordering of workspaces
which has a legitimate use for alternate keyboard layouts such as
Dvorak.
fixes#1131
Allow client requests of type _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to switch workspaces if
they indicate they are a pager. Otherwise, set the urgency hint on that
con to indicate that something happened.
This allows task switchers like skippy-xd to work properly.

Change the primary binding accessor to `get_binding_from_xcb_event`.
This function gets a binding from a generic xcb event of type KeyPress,
KeyRelease, ButtonPress, or ButtonRelease by determining the input type
(keyboard or mouse), the modifiers pressed from the filtered event
`state`, managing the proper fall back in case mode switch is enabled,
and finally querying the bindings for a binding that matches the event.
The logic of querying keyboard bindings is not intended to be altered by
this change.
The general accessor has been slightly modified to work with mouse
bindings and made private because it is only used in bindings.c

The _NET_CLIENT_LIST property of the root window:
> These arrays contain all X Windows managed by the Window Manager.
Dock clients are not managed windows, so they should not be included in
_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING.
Workspaces won't work properly if they start with "__", so reserve that
namespace altogether. Disallow renaming workspaces to reserved namespace
and using reserved namespace in configuration.
Fixes#1209.
The fullscreen_mode event is a window with the "change" property set to
"fullscreen_mode". This event should be emitted whenever a window enters
or exits fullscreen mode.
This event can be used to turn off dpms off when a window is fullscreen
or display the fullscreen container name in the status line for
instance.
Send all the options in the bar block on the barconfig_update event.
This will eventually allow for dynamically updating bar colors with the
`reload` command.
Do not handle click events on dock clients because they are not managed
windows. Dock clients are responsible for sending the message to i3 to
focus a workspace if that is appropriate. i3bar now sends the message to
focus the correct workspace when that is appropriate.
Otherwise, it could interfere with the dock clients own click handling,
which could be an action to focus a different workspace than i3 had
assumed, such as would be the case with a workspace widget.
The log message at the top of ipc_send_window_event would segfault when
no xcb window is present, such as for a split container.
The log now shows the con id which is more relevant anyway.
If a `bindsym` config directive specifies a symbol beginning with
"button", the binding will be given the type B_MOUSE for the indicated
button number.
Example:
bindsym $mod+button2 exec echo 'button two'
This will be interpreted as having input code (now `keycode`) 2 and type
B_MOUSE.
The mechanism to find and run mouse bindings on mouse events is not
implemented.
When checking the window type for a resize command, first check to see
if the window property is null before checking whether or not it is a
dock window. The window may be null in the case it is a branch
container.

Port sighandler to tree-branch
blocks SIGPIPE. Unfortunatelly blocked signal set is preserved accross
execve()s, so any program executed by i3 inherited blocked SIGPIPE signal.
This leads to courious effects when pipe writer does not terminate after
exiting pipe reader.
Simple reproducer is to spawn a new xterm by a key shortcut and then run this
command there:
$ perl -e 'print $SIG{PIPE}, qq{\n}'
IGNORE

If input focus is set by the window manager, it is not necessary to send
WM_TAKE_FOCUS because it has already taken focus.

Both setting input focus and sending WM_TAKE_FOCUS is effectively
setting focus on the window twice which is certainly against the spirit
of the spec, if not the letter.

Add and update the _NET_CLIENT_LIST property on the root window to
better comply with ewmh standards.
Information on this property can be found here:

> These arrays contain all X Windows managed by the Window Manager.
> _NET_CLIENT_LIST has initial mapping order, starting with the oldest window.

Otherwise, we read random garbage. Found by the testsuite due to
t/185-scratchpad.t failing because a window was incorrectly recognized
as a floating window.
