This change only affects clients that are subscribed to events, which
should be the main cause of our problems.
In the common case (no buffered data) the behaviour doesn't change at
all: the message is sent directly, no ev_io / ev_timeout callback is
enabled. Once a write to a client's socket is not completed fully
(returns with EAGAIN error), we put the message in the tail of a queue
and init an ev_io callback and a corresponding timer. If the timer is
triggered first, the socket is closed and the client connection is
removed. If the socket becomes writeable before the timeout we either
reset the timer if we couldn't push all the buffered data or completely
remove it if everything was pushed.
We could also replace ipc_send_message() for all client connections in
i3, not just those subscribed to events.
Furthermore, we could limit the amount of messages stored and increase
the timeout (or use multiple timeouts): eg it's ok if a client is not
reading for 10 seconds and we are only holding 5KB of messages for them
but it is not ok if they are inactive for 5 seconds and we have 30MB of
messages held.

The current text is confusing. '--no-auto-back-and-forth' doesn't
disable the 'workspace back_and_forth' command, the flag is not even
valid for that command.
- 'border toggle' now accepts an optional pixel argument which will be
ignored when switching to BS_NONE.
- 'border pixel' now defaults to 1 pixel instead of 2.
- Calling 'border normal' or 'border pixel' will use the configured
default_border_width if one exists. Also applies to floating windows.
Sending the sync command via IPC ensures pending IPC messages are handled by i3
before the sync response is read. This is rarely useful for direct IPC
connections to i3, but becomes useful when synchronizing with i3bar, which might
have pending IPC messages in response to button clicks.
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.
The front page and docs landing page emphasize documentation, but the user guide looks like it hasn't been updated since 2013. It seems from the history of the file that this number is misleading. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
Add support for relative coordinates in i3bar click events
Rename {x,y}_rel to relative_{x,y}
Update i3bar-protocol doc to mention the added fields in click events
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.
The userguide still mentions an old 'goto' command which no longer
exists and will be ignored silently (when used in the i3 config) or
causes an error to be reported (when invoked from the command line).
This change updates the userguide to correct this problem. In addition
to that it also updates the i3-input command shown to no longer use the
deprecated -p flag but -F instead.
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.
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.
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.
- Promote the "How to build?" sub-section to a top-level
section ("Building i3")
- Convert the "Introduction" sub-section as the intro to the remaining
contents of the "Using git / sending patches" section
- Keep "Which branch to use?" as a level-3 sub-section, thus making it
a sub-section of what used to be the "Introduction" sub-section.
