Alexander Neumann 7f9d2ac948 Add quoting for sample command
The user's guide talks about renaming workspaces, for example to
"2: mail", and a sample key binding for use with i3-input is supplied.
However, this example lacks proper quoting for the format string, so
that when workspace name with a space in it, like "2: mail", is given,
the current workspace is renamed to "2:". This patch adds proper
quoting.

syl20bnr 7098ef602b Add new bar.binding_mode_indicator configuration.
i3 current behavior hides the binding mode indicator when
workspace buttons are disabled.
This patch adds a new configuration for i3bar called
'binding_mode_indicator' which acts like the workspace_buttons.
It is now possible to configure i3bar to hide the
workspace buttons and keep showing the binding mode indicator.
This should make the hide workspace buttons configuration
more convenient for those who are heavily using binding
modes.
Default value for binding_mode_indicator is true.

haptix@web.de e3913093b6 introduced i3 command for changing the hidden state and the mode of i3bar
The hidden_state and mode of each i3bar instance can now be controlled from within i3.
Therefore, two new i3 command were introduced:
    _
    bar hidden_state show|hide|toggle [<bar_id>]

    show: always show the bar
    hide: normal hide mode
    toggle: toggle between show and hide (individually for each bar)
    _
    bar mode dock|hide|invisible|toggle [<bar_id>]

    hide,dock: like before
    invisible: always keep the bar hidden
    toggle: toggle between dock and hide (individually for each bar)

This patch introduces a hidden_state ("hidden_state hide|show") in the
barconfig, which indicates the current hidden_state of each i3bar
instance. It only affects the bar when in hide mode. Additionally, a new
invisible mode was introduced. In order to change the hidden_state or
mode of the bar from i3, a barconfig-update event was introduced, for
which a bar can subscribe and the bar then gets notified about the
currently set hidden_state and mode in its barconfig.

For convenience, an id field ("id <bar_id>") was added to the barconfig, where one can
set the desired id for the corresponding bar. If the id is not specified, i3 will
deterministically choose an id; otherwise, with the previous random approach for finding
a new id, which is actually not shared with i3bar, as it would determine its id on
startup, the event-subscription would be destroyed on reload. Still, this issue remains
when manually changing the bar_id in the config and then reloading.

notifying it if the user clicks on a block.

oblique 8a4a719093 Add support for _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION.
_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION indicates that some action in or with
the window happened. It's a weaker hint than urgency flag of WM_HINTS,
but some applications and almost all Qt applications use it instead of
WM_HINTS' urgency flag (one example is Skype).

András Mohari a0d5b744ab Allow min_width of a block in i3bar to be a string
With this change, min_width can either be an integer (as usual), or a
string. In the latter case, the width of the text given by min_width
determines the minimum width of the block. This way one does not have to
figure out a minimum width by trial and error, only to do it again every
time the font is changed.

Piotr S. Staszewski 3facbbca5c Add a new IPC event for changes on windows.
Added new event id (I3_IPC_EVENT_WINDOW) so that a an IPC client can
subscribe to events on windows. Added a basic window event that gets
triggered when a window gets successfully reparented. This new event
also dumps the container data, so that IPC clients can get the initial
window name. IPC clients wishing to see window events should subscribe
to 'window'.

Artem Shinkarov 5f05ca6b5d Separator color via config; separator width and on/off via ipc
This patch adds the following features:
1) Configure a color of the separator via config.  It is done like
   bar {
      colors {
         separator #000000
      }
   }
2) A block can have an integer entry "separator_block_width" which
   sets the width of the gap which would follow after the current block.

3) A block can have a boolean entry "separator" and if it is set
   to false, then the drawing of the separating line would be disabled.

Simon Elsbrock 28104a480c implement delayed urgency hint reset
If there is a client with an urgency hint on another workspace and
switching to this workspace would cause the urgency to be reset (by
moving the focusing to the client), delay the reset by some time. This
gives the user the chance to see it.

This commit adds the possibility to configure the urgency delay timer
duration using the 'force_display_urgency_hint' directive. Also,
documentation and a testcase was added to allow for automated checks of
the intended behavior.

This is useful for third-party scripts which require certain features

Additionally, i3 --version might be different from what’s actually
running (an old version of the binary), so i3-msg -t get_version will be
the best way to figure out the i3 version you are actually running from
this commit on.
2012-08-05 14:30:05 +02:00
Michael Stapelberg de94f6da1a Introduce splith/splitv layouts, remove orientation
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).
