canonicalize_output_name allowed the "primary" special output name to
be canonicalized, thus converting it to the name of whatever output
was the primary output at the time. This caused settings
(specifically, i3bar output and tray_output settings) to be stored as
specific output names, instead of the intended special names whose
referred output may change as the system's configuration (i.e. current
primary output) changes.
Add a check to canonicalize_output_name to return the name as-is if it
is the special name "primary".
Allow appending 'P' to the fake output specification to set the
created output's "primary" flag, to allow writing test cases that
depend on the presence of a primary output.
fake_outputs_init would unconditionally increase the string read
pointer variable (walk) by one character more than the number of
characters that have been read, to skip past the character delimiting
records (a comma). However, when the input string was not terminated
by a comma, it would cause the function to read past the null
terminator instead.
Avoid this by explicitly checking for the expected delimiter.
fake_outputs_init used a sprintf invocation with a throw-away buffer
to estimate how many characters the sscanf invocation consumed. This
was unnecessary, and also potentially incorrect, as differences
between the read and formatted strings (such as leading zeros) could
lead to fake_outputs_init to lose its track.
Instead, use the %n format specifier which allows saving the number of
characters consumed by sscanf so far. %n is part of C99.
All other message types are verbs, only our first-ever message COMMAND wasn’t.
While we’re here, also change the message type dictionary into a table with
clickable links to the corresponding reply type.
Authors of downstream IPC libraries are encouraged to keep the old name around
so as to not break existing code, but mark it as deprecated.
This fixes a regression introduced in commit
4e88c10564ca5366c2578908f62ec56625a26718: when attempting to move the
single child of a container in the direction of another output, i3
would move the window to the output, despite the window not being at
the edge of its output, instead of moving it to its parent container.
The bug occurred because the check for moving containers across
outputs with non-default workspace layouts (issue #1603) did not
actually verify that the moved window lies at the edge of the
workspace, despite what its comment said.
Fixes issue #2466.
Makes "assign [<criteria>] workspace number <number>" work in the same
manner as "move to workspace number <number>" instead of assigning the
window to a workspace named "number <number>".
config.spec is modified to expect a 'number' string and an extra
argument is used in cfg_assign.
For workspaces that don't exist yet, workspace_get is used as a
fallback. This also allows the user to assign to "<number> <workspace>"
eg "2: work" and the full name will be used if workspace number 2
doesn't exist yet.
Fixes#2590.
This way you can assign the test windows to an empty workspace to avoid
interacting with them (when xvfb-run is not an option):
assign [instance="i3test"] workspace testing
I previously tried to fix the check, but could only come up with a fix which
required removing our module pre-loading, which makes the tests considerably
more expensive. Instead, let’s just remove the check.
This file uses the same settings which we currently have in our vim modeline,
but can be picked up by many different editors without having to add and
maintain editor-specific modelines in all of our source files.
This commit also introduces slurp() which reads a file in its entirety. Using
this function instead of doing IO in the functions in load_layout.c again and
again makes the code cleaner (fixing at least two memory leaks) and avoids
re-reading the same file 3 times.
