This would lead to i3 thinking that a new window was already managed if it
has the same X-ID as the old window. Instead, we need to fix the EnterNotify
problem in a different way.
This helps for windows which are immediately destroyed instead of
unmapped, like when starting i3status | ./foobar | dzen2 -dock
and foobar does not exist (i3status and dzen2 will get a SIGPIPE).
Before this commit, i3 used key bindings in SYNC mode for bindings
like Mode_switch + <a> and replayed the key if the current state
did not include Mode_switch. This had some problems:
1) The WM needed to acknowledge much more key presses than you
actually had bindings for, thus making the system a bit laggy
sometimes.
2) Users of layouts who constantly type in the third level (like
russian layouts) did not get their cyrillic symbols correctly
(they were not replayed right), neither did the keybindings
work in both modes.
So, the current implementation uses the following approach: XKB
provides an event which contains the current state (including
the current level). i3 signs up for this event and upon receival,
it re-maps the bindings using Mode_switch (enables them when the
level goes to the third level and disables them as soon as the
level goes back to normal). This fixes both problems.
Thanks to Merovius for doing a proof of concept on this one and
being a driving force behind the idea.
Using RandR instead of Xinerama means that we are now able to use
the full potential of the modern way of configuring screens. That
means, i3 now has an idea of the outputs your graphic driver
provides, which allowed us to get rid of the ugly way of detecting
changes in the screen configuration which we used before. Now, your
workspaces should not be confused when changing output modes anymore.
Also, instead of having ugly heuristics to assign your workspaces
to (the screen at position X or the second screen in the list of
screens) you will be able to just specify an output name.
As this change basically touches everything, you should be prepared
for bugs. Please test and report them!
Actually, WM_CLASS contains two null-terminated strings, so we cannot
use asprintf() to get its value but rather use strdup() to get both
of them. Both values are compared when a client is matched against
a wm_class/title combination (for assignments for example).
This makes it more clear that the option is meant to be a special
case (it *disables* part of the focus handling). Also, when
initializing the config data structure with zeros, it will get
initialized with the right value.
Furthermore, the config file parser now also accepts various values
which represent "true", not only numbers.
Starting from this commit, a borderless window will always be
borderless if it is the only window in a container. For example,
you can have Firefox borderless in a tabbed container and as soon
as the download manager or a viewer gets opened, the container
will be rendered like a normal tabbed container.
This solves the user-interface dilemma of borderless/1-px-border
windows inside stacked/tabbed containers, at least for this special
case. Thanks to Merovius for this suggestion.
Calculations were wrong (they simply didn’t take into account that
there is more than one border style, the code was from before we
implemented that…). We cannot directly set child_rect to the coordinates
as resize_client takes rect and calculates the child_rect, so we need
the new lines of code for this bugfix in any case (rect needs to be
updated).
