Seems to be the intention, indicated by this comment (con.c:1307-1309):
/* For split containers, we use the currently focused container within it.
* This allows setting marks on, e.g., tabbed containers which will move
* con to a new tab behind the focused tab. */

xkb_state_new uses calloc and may fail in a rare case, which would cause a memory leak.
Note that xkb_state_unref checks if the parameter given is not null (!state) before freeing.
Calls to xkb_state_new have been grouped to remove code duplication.

con_next_focused uses con's parent. But since con can be inside an
unfocused container this means that one of it's siblings could become
focused in the current workspace.
The current_ws is shown latter anyway:
if (!ignore_focus) {
workspace_show(current_ws);
...
This also causes the following bug:
- Open a window in an empty workspace
- Switch to another workspace
- seturgent to the first window
- Move another window to the first workspace
- Urgent flag is now reset
This significantly reduces the number of ELOGs while dragging floating
containers. The behaviour is improved since floating containers in the
edge of the screen will still get reassigned to their closest workspace.
For example, consider this setup:
fake-outputs 500x500+0+0,500x500+500+0
Now, open a window in the right output and run:
i3-msg floating enable, move position 0 px 450 px
The window is on the bottom edge of the left workspace but if you run:
i3-msg focus mode_toggle
focus will go to the right workspace since floating_maybe_reassign_ws
didn't change the assigned workspace of the floating container.
This allows the floating container's top left corner to be mapped
outside any output as long as they are contained partially by one. This,
for example, will allow:
mpv --geometry +1+1 video.mp4
For windows mapped to (0, 0) see comment in floating.c:270-273:
/* Some clients (like GIMP’s color picker window) get mapped
* to (0, 0), so we push them to a reasonable position
* (centered over their leader) */
The floating_reassign_ws call is removed since we try to place the new
floating container in the current output:
/* Sanity check: Are the coordinates on the appropriate output? If not, we
* need to change them */
Fixes#1341
_NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED is set on _NET_WM_STATE to indicate that the
window is focused. It must be set when the window is newly focused and
removed once the window no longer has focus.
> _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED indicates whether the window's decorations are
> drawn in an active state. Clients MUST regard it as a read-only hint.
> It cannot be set at map time or changed via a _NET_WM_STATE client
> message.
For example, this is used by GTK applications to show the decoration in
an active or inactive state. This change can be tested by opening a GTK
application (like evince), focusing the window and unfocusing the
window, and observing a change in the window decorations.
Fixes#2273
For command:
move window to [absolute] position X px Y px
if the optional keyword 'absolute' is provided the end result is the
same even though it is implemented differently. Only difference is that
with absolute the floating window can move completely outside of any
output.
This commit removes the 'method' argument and only keeps the sane
implementation.
With example config:
mode "a_mode" {
bindcode 27 --release mode "default"
}
bindsym $mod+r mode "a_mode"
The first time $mod+r is pressed "a_mode" is activated like normal. When
r (bindcode 27) is pressed to exit the mode:
- On the KeyPress event the corresponding bind->release is correctly
marked as B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS.
- On the KeyRelease event the command 'mode "default"' is executed but
bind->release is still B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS since they are only
reset on KeyPress events.
The second time $mod+r is pressed and "a_mode" is activated and when the
r key is released the 'mode "default"' is executed even though the mods
are not matching since bind->release == B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS.
This still doesn't catch 2 cases:
1. When the order is: press $mod -> press r -> release $mod -> release
r. Since 'r' is released without any modifiers the binding matches.
2. With:
mode "resize" {
bindsym --release r mode "default"
}
bindsym r mode "resize"
This is arguably correct: on the KeyPress event we switch to the mode and
on the KeyRelease we switch back.
Before this commit, get_binding() exited on the first match without
marking the rest --release bindings with B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS.
Similarly, once it found a --release binding during a KeyPress event it
would stop searching for a matching key press binding.
Example config, placing the --release line first will trigger the second
problem:
# i3 config file (v4)
bindsym Super_L exec notify-send "press"
# or
# bindcode 133 exec notify-send "press"
bindsym --release Super_L exec notify-send "release"
# or
# bindcode --release 133 exec notify-send "release"
Fixes#2733
From 548d74015c50d7fae14bfb8bb1989acde5fc22ae:
> 1. press $mod, press x, release x, release $mod
> 2. press $mod, press x, release $mod, release x
case (2.) didn't work, now it should be fixed.
When we run 'reload' all the assignments are freed:
e3e09119bf/src/config.c (L99-L109)
Assignments are saved to each window after they are executed:
e3e09119bf/src/assignments.c (L41-L46)
This means that the pointers stored in window->ran_assignments are
invalid (shouldn't be dangerous currently but could lead to a segfault
if the code is modified) after a 'reload'.
Fixes:
- Issue where moving an urgent (unfocused) window resets it's urgency
hint.
- Moving an unfocused container to a new parent should not move it to
the top of the focus stack.
This deals with (admittedly somewhat misbehaving) clients which
use XSetInputFocus to take focus, but then don't properly restore
focus. This has been observed with TK apps, but also, e.g., Steam.

From comment:
https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2990#issuecomment-368345169
To easily reproduce:
1. Open 2 floating windows
2. Focus (with `focus_follows_mouse`) the one behind
3. Move the mouse to the other workspace
4. Move the mouse inside the previous workspace (without it even
touching a window)
The problem here is that con_fullscreen_permits_focusing() does not
check if there is a blocking fullscreen container in the workspace that
the container to be focused belongs. This makes it possible to focus a
container behind a fullscreen window if it's in an unfocused workspace.
This commit introduces a change in the 'focus' command behaviour. When
focusing a container blocked by a fullscreen container, either CF_OUTPUT
or CF_GLOBAL, the blocking container loses its fullscreen mode and the
target container is focused like normal.
This should not affect directional focus commands: left, right, up,
down, parent, child.
Fixes issue #1819.
The bug triggers when _workspace_show calls tree_close_internal and
old == old_focus. Ie, when the old workspace was empty and needs to be
closed but then is accessed as output_push_sticky_windows's argument:
Breakpoint 1, output_push_sticky_windows (to_focus=0x55555589c8a0) at ../../i3/src/output.c:102
102 con_move_to_workspace(current, visible_ws, true, false, current != to_focus->parent);
(gdb) print con_exists(to_focus)
$1 = false
The access violation can also be prevented by checking if
con_exists(old_focus) but it shouldn't be necessary: the old_focus
container can only be killed when it is an empty workspace.
With --enable-sanitizers this causes i3 to exit but with
--disable-sanitizers the access violation doesn't reliably cause a crash
and the con_move_to_workspace call continues with:
(gdb) print current != to_focus->parent
$2 = 1
Since current->type is CT_FLOATING_CON and to_focus->type is
CT_WORKSPACE, in this specific case ignore_focus would always be true.
So, in this case, passing NULL instead of old_focus to
output_push_sticky_windows doesn't change the behaviour of i3.
Fixes#3075.
Prevents a false-positive error eg with config file:
set $mod Mod4
bindsym $mod+h split h
bindsym $mod+v split v
ERROR: CONFIG: Expected one of these tokens: <end>, '#', 'set ', ...
ERROR: CONFIG: Line 8: status_command i3status
ERROR: CONFIG: Line 9: }
ERROR: CONFIG: Line 10: <BE><BE><BE><BE><BE><BE>
With this change i3 will correctly switch to the focused workspace.
This fixes bug with moving floating windows with 'move <direction>' or by dragging like _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP not getting updated or 'workspace back_and_forth' not working.
Fixes#2921.
i3bar's handle_button is modified to also handle XCB_BUTTON_RELEASE
events. During these button release events, only custom commands are
checked to avoid sending multiple workspace ipc messages.
The way this patch is implemented will allow to assign a custom command
for both the press and release of the same button:
bar {
...
bindsym buttonX exec command1
bindsym --release buttonX exec command2
}
Fixes#3068.
Issue #3049 describes a case where terminating i3 by means of SIGTERM
causes it to leak the runtime directory and all its contents. There are
multiple issues at play: first, any cleanup handlers registered via
atexit are never invoked when a signal terminates the program (see
atexit(3)). Hence, the log SHM log cleanup performed in i3_exit is not
invoked in that case. Second, compared to the shutdown path for the
'exit' command, we do not unlink the UNIX domain socket we create,
causing it to be leaked as well. Third, a handler for SIGTERM is not
registered at all despite handle_signal claiming to be the handler for
all 'Term' signals.
This change addresses all three problems and results in a graceful exit
including cleanup to happen when we receive a signal with the default
action 'Term'. It addresses issue #3049.
Previously, we used ev_check watchers, which are executed at the beginning of an
event loop iteration.
This was problematic if one of the handlers happened to fill the XCB event
queue, e.g. by reading a reply from X11 and an event happened in the meantime.
In that situation, we would hand control to the event loop, entirely ignoring
the pending event. This would manifest itself as a 1-minute hang,
reproducible (sometimes) in the i3 testsuite.
issue #2790 describes an instance of this issue in i3bar, and we fixed that by
changing the watcher priority to run last. Handling events in xcb_prepare_cb has
the same effect, as ev_prepare watchers are run just before the event loop goes
to sleep.
The sender of the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message might know better when to
set focus than i3, as i3 does not know about unmanaged (override_redirect=1)
windows.

stbuf.st_size is of type off_t, which the standard defines as “extended signed
integral type”¹, and for which there is no correct printf format string. Hence,
we need to cast it into a hopefully-large-enough type (ugh) and use the
corresponding format string. In our case, int64_t should do it, as config files
really shouldn’t be anywhere close to those numbers.

This way, when changing focus between outputs, the directional focus
command will focus the focused window within the parent container that
is next in the given direction.
Previously, the next window of the given direction was focused which is
Inconsistent with changing focus inside the same output.
Fixes#1160.
Allow enabling forced focus wrapping by specifying "focus_wrapping
force" in i3's configuration. This syntax supersedes the previous
"force_focus_wrapping yes" one, which remains available for backwards
compatibility.
This fixes a crash that occurs when disabling floating for a container
while it is being moved or resized.
@Deiz describes the problem:
> It occurs because the command that disables floating runs before the
event loop. So, the window is tiled, its floating parent is destroyed,
but then a key event is handled which causes the position/size of the
now-destroyed parent to be modified.
Fixes#1627
Applied for:
1. '[...] focus' for a floating container raises it to the top.
2. Focusing a window through a focus event raises it to the top.
Fixes#2572
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 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.
related to #2755
Convert the output names specified in the "output" and "tray_output"
fields in bar blocks in i3's configuration to the referred output's
primary name. This allows specifying names other than the primary
output's name in the given fields without changing the IPC protocol.
In addition to the name of the monitor itself (which is still used as
the i3 output's primary name), register RandR output names associated
with the RandR monitor as alternative i3 output names.
Currently, only one name is ever added, and only the first name is
ever accessed; actually using the capability to store and access
multiple names comes in the following commits.
Currently simply returns output->name, but this will make it easier to
change how output names are stored in the following commits.
Also replace reading output->name with invocations of
output_primary_name. Code which writes output->name is unchanged. Done
using a mostly mechanical replacement of output->name to
output_primary_name(output).
The code in handle_signal() wasn't clearing the struct sigaction before passing it to sigaction().
This meant that we would block a random set of signals while executing the default handler, or jump to the uninitialized __sa_sigaction__ (instead of sa_handler).
Initialize properly as we do in setup_signal_handler().
This fixes the following issue when having an error early in the config file:

acceptable trade-off for being able to easily revert data loss.

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

Strictly speaking, this is a change of behavior, but it breaks none of our

With this PR the 'layout toggle' command can be passed any
combination of valid layout keywords as arguments. They will
be activated one after another each time you issue the command,
advancing from left to right always selecting the layout after
the currently active layout or the leftmost layout if the active
layout is not in the argument list.
This PR also incorporates the feature request from #2476.
With commit d58dbc3 we started ignoring Expose events in a sequence
except for the last one. Since we only copied the affected part of
the window in the Expose event handler, this caused incorrectly
rendered window decorations.
Instead of reverting to the old behavior, we now copy the entire window
content on this single, last event with the following rationale:
- It's cheaper to copy a larger chunk once than multiple smaller
chunks doing one server roundtrip each.
- That's how we do it when rendering out decoration on decoration
changes as well.

This event is triggered when the connection to the ipc is about to

Previously rendering marks and the title were skipped if the title is empty. With marks
this is obviously wrong, with the title it is also wrong because title_format might be
set.
Doing a hard exit() is a rather harsh action for something i3 can handle
perfectly fine and is only meant to be a check to make debugging easier
for users in certain situations.
Thanks to @psychon for pointing this out during the review of PR #2624.
This commit extends this change to all other occurences of Expose events
within i3.
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.

Fix the issue #2421 (https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2421).
floating_enable() invokes tree_close_internal() to free con->parent.
After con->parent is freed in tree_close_internal() but before con->parent is reassigned by the caller, con->parent may be dereferenced and causes i3 crash.
The backtrace below is an example.
The already-freed pointer is dereferenced again through the pointer "focused" in x_push_changes().
Reassign con->parent before calling tree_close_internal() to fix this use-after-free bug.

Including config.h is necessary to get e.g. the _GNU_SOURCE define and
any other definitions that autoconf declares. Hence, config.h needs to
be included as the first header in each file.
This is done either via:
1. Including "common.h" (i3bar)
2. Including "libi3.h"
3. Including "all.h" (i3)
4. Including <config.h> directly
Also remove now-unused I3__FILE__, add copyright/license statement
where missing and switch include/all.h to #pragma once.
This commit probably comes as a surprise to some, given that one of i3’s
explicitly stated goals used to be “Do not use programs such as
autoconf/automake for configuration and creating unreadable/broken makefiles”.
I phrased this goal over 7 years ago, based largely on a grudge that I
inherited, which — as I’ve realized in the meantime — was largely held against
FOSS in general, and not actually nuanced criticism of autotools.
In the meantime, I have come to realize that the knee-jerk reaction of “I could
do this better!” (i.e. writing our own build system in this particular case) is
usually misguided, and nowadays I strongly suggest trying hard to fix the
existing system for the benefit of all existing and future users.
Further, I recently got to experience the other side of the coin, as I packaged
a new version of FreeRADIUS for Debian, which at the time of writing used
autoconf in combination with boilermake, a custom make-based build system that
only FreeRADIUS uses. Understanding the build system enough to fix issues and
enable parallel compilation took me an entire day. That time is time which
potentially every downstream maintainer needs to invest, and the resulting
knowledge cannot be applied to any other project.
Hence, I believe it’s a good idea switch i3 to autotools. Yes, it might be that
particular features were easier to implement/understand in our custom
Makefiles, and there might be individuals who have an easier time reading
through our custom Makefiles than learning autotools. All of these
considerations are outweighed by the benefits we get from using the same build
system as literally thousands of other FOSS software packages.
Aside from these somewhat philosophical considerations, there’s also practical
improvements which this change brings us. See the “changes” section below.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ new workflow │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
You can now build i3 like you build any other software package which uses
autotools. Here’s a memory refresher:
autoreconf -fi
mkdir -p build && cd build
../configure
make -j8
(The autoreconf -fi step is unnecessary if you are building from a release
tarball, but shouldn’t hurt either.)
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ recommended reading │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
I very much recommend reading “A Practitioner's Guide to GNU Autoconf,
Automake, and Libtool” by John Calcote (https://www.nostarch.com/autotools.htm).
That book is from 2010 and, AFAICT, is the most up to date comprehensive
description of autotools. Do not read older documentation. In particular, if a
document you’re reading mentions configure.in (deprecated filename) or
recursive make (now considered harmful), it’s likely outdated.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ changes │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This commit implements the following new functionality/changes in behavior:
• We use the AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR macro to enforce builds happening in a separate
directory. This is a prerequisite for the AX_EXTEND_SRCDIR macro and building
in a separate directory is common practice anyway. In case this causes any
trouble when packaging i3 for your distribution, please let me know.
• “make check” runs the i3 testsuite.
You can still use ./testcases/complete-run.pl to get the interactive progress
output.
• “make distcheck” (runs testsuite on “make dist” result, tiny bit quicker
feedback cycle than waiting for the travis build to catch the issue).
• “make uninstall” (occasionally requested by users who compile from source)
• “make” will build manpages/docs by default if the tools are installed.
Conversely, manpages/docs are not tried to be built for users who don’t want
to install all these dependencies to get started hacking on i3.
• non-release builds will enable address sanitizer by default. Use the
--disable-sanitizers configure option to turn off all sanitizers, and see
--help for available sanitizers.
• Support for pre-compiled headers (PCH) has been dropped for now in the
interest of simplicitly. Maybe we can re-add it later.
• coverage reports are now generated using “make check-code-coverage”, which
requires specifying --enable-code-coverage when calling configure.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ build system feature parity/testing │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
In addition to what’s described above, I tested the following features:
• “make install” installs the same files (plus documentation and manpages)
cd i3-old && make install PREFIX=/tmp/inst/old
cd i3-new && ./configure --prefix=/tmp/inst/new
cd /tmp/inst
(cd old && for f in $(find); do [ -e "../new/$f" ] || echo "$f missing"; done)
• make dist generates a tarball which includes the same files
cd i3-old && make dist
cd i3-new/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu && make dist
colordiff -u <(tar tf i3-old/i3-4.12.tar.bz2 | sort) \
<(tar tf i3-new/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/i3-4.12.tar.gz | sort)
There are some expected differences:
• Some files have been renamed (e.g. the new etc/ and share/ subdirectories)
• Some files will now be generated at build-time, so only their corresponding
.in file is shipped (e.g. testcases/complete-run.pl)
• The generated parser files are shipped in the dist tarball (they only
depend on the parser-specs/* files, not on the target system)
• autotools infrastructure is shipped (e.g. “configure”, “missing”, etc.)
• DLOG and ELOG statements still produce the same file name in logfiles
• Listing source code in gdb still works.
• gdb backtraces contain the i3-<version> path component
• release.sh still works
• version embedding
1. git checkout shows “4.12-136-gf720023 (2016-10-10, branch "autotools")”
2. tarball of a git version shows “4.12-non-git”
3. release tarball shows 4.13
• debug mode is enabled by default for non-release builds
• enabling verbose builds via V=1
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ speed │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
There is no noticeable difference in compilation speed itself (of binaries,
documentation and manpages):
i3-old $ time make all docs mans -j8
make all docs mans -j8 28.92s user 2.15s system 640% cpu 4.852 total
i3-new $ time make -j8
make -j8 27.08s user 1.92s system 620% cpu 4.669 total
In terms of one-time costs:
configuring the build system (../configure) takes about 2.7s on my machine,
generating the build system (autoreconf -fi) takes about 3.1s on my machine.

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
All files in m4/ have been copied from the autoconf-archive package in version
b6aeb1988f4b6c78bf39d97b6c4f6e1d594d59b9 and should be updated whenever they
change.
This commit has been tested with autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.15.
The idea was to ensure the symbol would always be present. For that, we need
__attribute__((used)), not __attribute__((unused)). Further, ensure the
variable has static storage, as the used attribute only applies to variables
with static storage. See also http://stackoverflow.com/a/29545417/712014
We strive to avoid conditional compilation in i3 as much as possible.
cairo and pangocairo have been around long enough in the versions that
we need that it’s time to unconditionally depend on them.
Also update DEPENDS with the last-known-good-versions while at it.
We call scratchpad_show() on _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW requests if the request
came from a pager. This is consistent with the i3 »focus« command because
we assume the user requested to see the window, so we do the only
sensible thing.
fixes#2455
When receiving an ENTER_NOTIFY event on a dock client we returned as to not
focus the dock client (cf. #321 and #323). However, we still need to check
for crossing output boundaries and if that happened focus the new output.
Otherwise it can happen that the cursor is on a different output than the
focused output. When opening a window, this would open it on the old output
and then warp the mouse there. This effect will be even worse if the window
is immediately moved with 'move position mouse' as the window will end up
in its correct position on the new output and the cursor warped to the old
output.
relates to #2081
This commit correctly handles colormaps by
* Using the static default colormap we determine on startup if the
con has the corresponding depth. This avoids creating pointless
colormaps.
* Not freeing the default colormap to not have stray colormaps on
containers. This fixes an issue with certain programs such as xwd.
* Creating a custom colormap when necessary and freeing it when the
container is killed.
fixes#2435
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
since OpenBSD pthread does not support pthread_condattr_setpshared().
This patch could also stay in the OpenBSD ports tree or depend on a
configure test macro rather than defined __OpenBSD__.
Prior to this commit a binding specifying only --whole-window would
trigger even when clicking on the window border. However, this should
only happen if --border is specified.
fixes#2348
Use case:
* When managing multiple terminals in a workspace, the borders makes it easier
to know where the focus is, but when there is only one it's obvious where the
focus is.
* When there's only a web browser for example, the borders are actually counter-
productive since it makes clicking a side scrollbar or a tab a bit harder (if I
smash my cursor to the side or the top of the workspace, I have to move it in
the other direction by just a few pixels to be able to grab it)
Behaviour:
* No borders when there's a single window in a workspace
* Borders when there are multiple windows in a workspace
fixes#2188
This patch introduces a new 'set_from_resource' config directive which
allows defining a variable by retrieving its value from the X resource
database. This avoids having to configure a color scheme in multiple
files. The directive takes an additional fallback value which is used
in case the resource cannot be found or during config validation where
no X connection is available.
Furthermore, this patch includes the following changes:
- If the same variable is defined twice, we now properly overwrite the
value of the assignment rather than inserting two variable definitions
with the same key.
- We now depend on xcb-util-xrm to query the resource.
- Increase the buffer size for variable / resource assignments.
fixes#2130
If an output is disabled during a restart, for example because a binding
such as
bindsym $mod+Shift+r exec "xrandr --auto", restart
is used, it can happen that we first write the layout to disk and only
then receive the RandR change events. This leads to a situation where
the restored tree will contain these outputs, but the restarted i3
process will not receive the RandR events, thus the internal output in i3
is marked disabled.
This patch finds these cases after a restart and force-disables the
affected outputs.
fixes#2326
In most cases this won't make a difference, but consider the following
scenario:
* Some application acquires input focus on its own (which the window manager
is not involved in, so it will "always" work).
* Before the FocusIn / FocusOut events are processed by i3, the
workflow to push X changes is run, resulting in xcb_set_input_focus()
being called.
Using XCB_CURRENT_TIME, this means i3 will "win" and override the focus,
even though it simply wasn't aware (yet) that focus had already been taken
over by someone else. When processing the FocusIn / FocusOut events, i3
assumes that the focus is already set which results in a broken focus
state as i3 assumes some container has the input focus when it doesn't.
With the new behavior, i3's attempt to set the input focus will fail if
the FocusIn / FocusOut events have not yet processed. Once they are processed,
the focus state will be automatically corrected.
fixes#2322
This code has been neutralized for many years now and served no purpose
other than cluttering up the code. We obviously don't need it and it's
out of date anyway.
If there's ever any reason to restore (parts of) it, we have git for
that. But we don't need to keep commented out code around.
This commit removes the title indentation in certain nested container
situations. The behavior was considered broken as it didn't seem to
make sense and it was unclear why this was introduced.
Given that nobody on i3-discuss@ complained about removing this logic
within two weeks, we are now removing it to make the title rendering
code a little less complex.
fixes#2247
Since we don't actually stop drawing a title (or marks) with the
distance of the border width on the right side, but instead with
a hard-coded two pixel distance, we can only redraw that much of
the border without potentiall cutting off text.
relates to #2247
Use `uintptr_t` to cast the con id to int instead of `long int`. This
type is guaranteed to hold the pointer as an int regardless of platform.
fixes#2283
Previously we counted the number of (direct) children of the workspace to
decide whether no_focus should be applied or not. However, this doesn't
work correctly if there's a single container with multiple windows on the
workspace.
This patch correctly counts all windows on the workspace.
fixes#2292
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
With this change, multi-monitor presentations (e.g. as implemented by
LibreOffice Impress) work out of the box. Previously, one had to move
the presentation windows to the right outputs oneself.
If a user reloads the config while in some binding mode, the binding mode
will revert to the default, but no event will ever be fired, causing a
broken i3bar mode display.
This patch explicitly reverts to the default binding mode before reloading
the config. We reload rather than switch to the binding mode after having
reloaded the config because there's no guarantee that mode will even still
exist.
fixes#2228
This patch correctly determines the previously focused workspace on the
target output when moving a workspace to another output. Before, we used
nodes_head for this, which will not actually return the previously focused
workspace, but just the first workspace on that output. Hence, we now use
focus_head instead.
This bug was introduced all the way back in 1e143fea when the feature of
moving workspaces to another output was first implemented.
fixes#2229
This patch introduces a proprietary atom I3_FLOATING_WINDOW which will be
set and maintained for floating windows and removed on tiling containers.
This allows users to select on this atom, e.g., in their compositor
configuration or in utility scripts (without using the IPC).
fixes#2223
Manually updating a magic number doesn’t work in the long run.
With this change, the number of atoms contained in
include/atoms_NET_SUPPORTED.xmacro is used.
fixes#2230
This is essentially a revert of daf00a9 which introduced a mechanism
to float workspace containers by wrapping all children into a new
container and floating it.
This caused a bug and there's no good reason (anymore) to allow doing
this in the first place as we don't support floating nested containers.
fixes#2166
This allows "modifier none" (and "modifier off") for the bar config
in order to disable the modifier key altogether. This is useful
for users who use a different approach to hiding / showing the bar,
e.g., a custom keybind that involved multiple keys or scripts.
fixes#2208
Until now, only the config directive for borders (new_window,
new_float) respected the DPI setting (using logical_px). This
patch makes sure we also do so for runtime "border" commands.
fixes#2202
We now build a docker base container based on debian sid (where the very
latest packages are available). That base container is updated once a
month, or whenever travis-build.Dockerfile or debian/control change, but
re-used for subsequent travis runs. While the initial build might take
up to 15 minutes, subsequent builds typically run in a minute or two.
All the different steps that we run on travis are now factored into
separate scripts in the travis/ directory.
Switching to docker should also help with issue #2174.
Ignoring the focus leads to a broken focus if the pointer is, e.g.,
over i3bar at the point in time the window is moved by the client
message. It also causes i3bar's workspace display to break.
Thanks to GermainZ for reporting.
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.
relates to #2097fixes#2168
We already claim _NET_WM_DESKTOP support in _NET_SUPPORTED since around 2009,
but haven't actually done anything with it. However, especially pagers like
gnome-panel rely on this property to be updated and many tools, like GTK, want
to use the corresponding client messages to make a window sticky, move it
around etc.
This patch implements full support according to the EWMH spec. This means:
* We set the property on all windows when managing it.
* We keep the property updated on all windows at all times.
* We read and respect the property upon managing a window if it was set before
mapping the window.
* We react to client messages for it.
* We remove the property on withdrawn windows.
Note that the special value 0xFFFFFFFF, according to the spec, means that the
window shall be shown on all workspaces. We do this by making it sticky and
float it. This shows it on all workspaces at least on the output it is on.
Furthermore, the spec gives us the freedom to ignore _NET_WM_DESKTOP when
managing a window if we have good reason to. In our case, we give window
swallowing a higher priority since the user would likely expect that and we
want to keep placeholder windows only around for as long as we have to.
However, we do prioritize this property over, for example, startup
notifications.

pledges for i3:
"stdio rpath unix" for talking to the i3 socket usually in /tmp
"proc exec" for executing programs
"wpath cpath" are needed for the restart-in-place functionality
To make this work, @semarie pointed out that it is sufficient to ensure
that we get physical_mem_bytes only once, namely in init_logging().
pledges for i3-msg:
"stdio rpath unix" are needed for talking to the i3-socket
pledges for i3-nagbar
"rpath getpw" to find the home directory
"wpath cpath" to write the script
"proc exec" to execute the script
This disables the default leak-check-on-exit behavior which reports a
bunch of leaks that are only leaks while exiting, at which point they
don’t matter, because the operating system will clean up the memory our
process used.
The newly introduced decoration_border color incorrectly uses the default value
for "background" as a fallback when not specified. Instead, it should use the
user-specified "background" as a fallback.
fixes#2149
This patch moves the title_format information from windows to containers.
Furthermore, it allows correctly setting it on window-less containers and
displays the title accordingly for split containers.
We now also dump and read title_format in GET_TREE / during restarts.
fixes#2120
Corrects the cases where the colorpixel is not 0xRRGGBB : we have to
use the full color_t struct to describe font colors, as Pango expects
RGB values and not an XCB colorpixel value.
We now execute the validations when "kill" is executed even if match
criteria are used. This prevents users from killing workspace containers,
which instead kills all clients (as before when not using criteria).
fixes#1761
It should be clear for callers of this function that this is an internal
function that skips certain validations which might be important. Therefore
we make it clear that this is an internal function by renaming it.
relates to #1761
We need to move the urgent flag when moving a container across
workspaces before calling on_remove_child on the parent in order
to avoid a crash.
fixes#2128
This fixes race conditions, for example when i3bar gets reconfigured
after the available outputs change. In that specific case, i3bar sends a
ConfigureWindow request (see
b5693d6fb3/i3bar/src/xcb.c (L376))
which normally is turned into a ConfigureRequest that i3 largely
ignores, only the dock client’s height is considered (see
b5693d6fb3/src/handlers.c (L390)).
Turning ConfigureWindow into ConfigureRequest is only done when the
SubstructureRedirect event mask is set, and because we temporarily
removed _all_ events from our mask, the ConfigureWindow request went
through unmodified.
This in turn lead to the i3bar client window (not its decoration frame)
being positioned at e.g. y=1304, whereas dock client windows should
always end up at x=0 y=0 within their decoration frame. The result of
the i3bar client window being out of the visible space was either a
black i3bar or graphics corruption.
This also fixes issue #1904, I think. I couldn’t reproduce issue #1904
specifically, but when i3bar is in the misconfigured state, it will
receive a VisibilityNotify event, telling i3bar that it is obscured.
This would explain why i3bar sent a SIGSTOP in issue #1904.
fixes#1904
Previously, if a match specification contained the con_id or con_mark criterion,
all other criteria were ignored. However, a user may want to specify one of
those two unique identifiers and still specify others as well, for example to
match the currently focused window, but only if it has a certain WM_CLASS:
[con_id=__focused__ class=special] kill
We now check all specified criteria.
fixes#2111
This commit fixes#1969 by adding support for matching a window's type
against _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION. The userguide and tests were
updated to reflect this change.
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
Previously, using a command like
[con_id=foo] kill
would kill the currently focused window because while an error for
not being able to parse the con_id was logged, no further action
was taken, which caused the criterion to be ignored. In this case,
the fallback behavior of using the focused window took over.
For con_id, id and window_type we now reject incorrect values with
an error and abort the command.
fixes#2091
The values of a Rect are unsigned, but can contain signed values.
Using MAX when the value is negative causes incorrect behavior and
makes the result stay negative, which is what we wanted to avoid here
in the first place.
Fix by properly casting the value for the comparison.
fixes#2094
With this patch, we use 32-bit visuals per default whenever it is
available. Otherwise, we fall back to the actual root window's
depth, which will typically be 24-bit.
Before this patch, we already used 32-bit depth for containers with
a window that uses 32-bit. However, this means that we didn't use
32-bit for split parent containers on which decoration is drawn.
For 32-bit windows using transparency, this caused a graphical glitch
because the decoration pixmap behind it would show through. This
behavior is fixed with this change.
relates to #1278
Such containers never require a pixmap anyway. In particular for the __i3
output (used for the scratchpad workspace), this would cause an allocation
error anyway because it can be very big -- so big, in fact, that X cannot
allocate the pixmap for it.
Until now, this error was silently ignored due to the fact that we did not
create the pixmap checked (and asserted its success), but with cairo this
would cause a crash because we'd try to create a surface for a pixmap
which doesn't exist.
relates to #1278
With this patch we remove the temporary draw_util_colorpixel_to_color
function we introduced previously by parsing the colors as color_t to
begin with.
relates to #1278
We return early from drawing functions if the surface to draw to is not
initialized properly. There is no immediate need to do so, at least no
crashes have been observed, but it mirrors the previous behavior a bit
more closely. Furthermore, i3 should not crash due to not being able to
make some rendering call, so this provides some stability.
relates to #1278
This patch migrates all decoration rendering of i3 to cairo. Using the
compile switch CAIRO_SUPPORT, rendering can be switched back to the
previous XCB behavior, just like with the previous migration to cairo
in i3bar.
This patch also fixes a bug in draw_util.c where copying one surface
to another would use incorrect coordinates if the source coordinates
are not 0, 0.
Furthermore, this patch implicitly fixes some minor issues in the
decoration rendering which would be ignored previously due to the fact
that errors would only show up in the event queue, but not cause the
rendering code path to crash. One example is zero-height pixmaps which
are not allowed. Using cairo, these would cause i3 to instantly segfault,
so this patch avoids this.
Lastly, this patch annotates other issues found but not fixed in this patch
using TODO comments, e.g., the zero-height check not working correctly
and the comment that it should probably work the same way for zero-width
pixmaps.
relates to #1278
Mouse bindings that target the window that was clicked send the command
to the parser with `con_id` of the clicked window serialized base 16
for compatability with FreeBSD. See 7c2842e for explaination.
Set base to 0 for strtol to handle base 16 numbers for that reason.
This allows mouse bindings that target specific windows to work
correctly. Without this change, the focused window is always targetted
rather than the window that was actually clicked.
Regression introduced in b744c5e.
With this patch, we support the special value "0" for _NET_WM_USER_TIME
on a window upon managing it, which indicates that the window shall not
be focused.
fixes#2064
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.

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
We refactor the button grabbing into a function to allow the next patch
both to
- conditionally grab different sets of buttons
- grab the buttons again when reloading the config.

As there is no need to keep autostart commands in memory, we can safely
remove them as soon as they have been executed. As we previously didn't
clear them at all during config reloads, this also fixes a memory leak.
Note that neither autostarts nor autostarts_always is executed during
config reloads, so removing them from memory is fine as an i3 restart
will cause them to be parsed again.
fixes#2044
1. i3 config validation failed when the new line is missing from the end of file.
The error was: "ERROR: Your line continuation is too long, it exceeds 4096 bytes".
It is wrong to assume that there is always a '\n' at the end of each line in the config file.
(Not for the last line.)
Fix it via adding a end-of-file check.
2. See the issue #2051. (https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2051)
This patch introduces the possibility to specify the tray_output directive
multiple times. All values will be used by i3bar, in the order they are
given.
This way, a single bar configuration can be used for several machines with
internal output names "eDP1" and "LVDS-0" by specifying tray_output for both.
Any external output (e.g., "DP-0") will still not receive the tray. The same
effect can be achieved by using "primary", but forces the user to couple the
tray display to the primary output which may not be desirable behavior.

This patch extends the previously introduced flag --no-auto-back-and-forth
to also apply to
move window to workspace <name>
move window to workspace number <number>

Since splitting a docking container was allowed and successful, the check
to prevent floating it fails to work. This causes a crash because the
workspace of the container cannot be determined as the dockarea is higher
up in the tree than the workspace it belongs to.
This patch extends to sanity check to nested dock containers when trying to
float a container and also disallows manually splitting a docked container
or changing its layout.
fixes#2034
We need to store the information that an assignment was run for a window
before actually executing the command. Otherwise, if the command causes
a change that causes assignments to be run again, the window might be
matched again, causing an infinite loop and hence i3 to freeze or crash.
Assignments don't necessarily represent workspace assignments, but could
also be used, e.g., for no_focus. Hence, there's no point in logging
dest.workspace for all assignments.
Suppose a horizontally oriented workspace has two windows open. Issuing "split h" on
the right window creates a nested horizontal container. If we now resize in "width"
direction, the resize doesn't work because it will only operate on the current parent,
which is a container with only one child, so the resize command exits.
This is unexpected behavior from a user point of view. Hence, with this patch, we
ensure that we don't just go up the tree until we find a parent with the correct
orientation, but also keep going if that parent has only a single child.
fixes#2015
This patch introduces the --no-auto-back-and-forth flag to both of
workspace --no-auto-back-and-forth <name>
workspace --no-auto-back-and-forth number <number>
This flag will only have an effect if the back_and_forth feature is
enabled. If passed, the feature will be ignored for this particular
call only.
fixes#2028
This allows matching with
[con_id=__focused__] unmark
for commands that do not default to operating on the focused window
if no criteria have been specified (such as unmark).
relates to #2014
This patch allows using 'unmark' on matched windows. The old behavior
of applying it to all windows if no criteria were specified is kept.
